The pelvis softens during pregnancy in preparation for childbirth. This can cause complaints in the lower back, pelvis, pubic bone, buttocks and hips. This can also cause radiance in the legs. These complaints can hinder you from performing daily activities and enjoying your pregnancy!

Don't spend too long in pain. That is a shame and can hinder you from enjoying your pregnancy. You can often get your complaints under control with just a few treatments.

Pelvic therapists at Sens moves je Eindhoven provide exercises for pregnancy and after childbirth. This is to learn to use the pelvic floor, pelvic and back muscles correctly again.

Pelvic floor problems often occur during pregnancy and after childbirth.

Common problems include:

– Urinary loss

– Stool loss

– Prolapse of the bladder or uterus, a 'heavy feeling underneath'

– Frequent urge or need to urinate frequently

– Overly tense pelvic floor muscles

– Pain during intercourse

Your pelvic therapist will teach you step by step how to regain control over your pelvic floor muscles.

Sleep problems during pregnancy are common. It is more difficult to find a comfortable position, you sleep a lot lighter due to the hormones, frequent urination and pain when turning. Dreaming often and being anxious about everything that is to come is also very common.

Sleep therapy for pregnant women can offer a solution.

You will work on mapping your sleep pattern and then work on practical tips and exercises.

Due to all the changes (physical, emotional) in your body during pregnancy, breathing may no longer feel like it did before pregnancy. This may cause you to breathe less efficiently.

The therapist will work with you to breathe relaxed again and bring peace to the body. We can determine and visualize your breathing with special measuring equipment. This allows us to provide very targeted advice/exercises to improve your breathing techniques.

Unfortunately, it often happens that complaints arise during childbirth or after childbirth. Complaints you can think of are pain in the tailbone, pubic bone, buttocks, lower back or pelvis. Please call us as soon as possible to discuss. We try to give you the best possible advice or come to your home to treat you immediately.

Pregnancy massage has the following positive effects:

• It relieves pregnancy ailments
• Your muscles become more flexible and therefore less likely to cause pain (cramps, etc.)
• It stimulates blood circulation
• Improves the transport of nutrients and oxygen throughout your body

Unfortunately, pregnancy massages are not reimbursed by health insurers. The costs of the massages are:

Many things change during pregnancy, both physically and mentally. The hormones can cause your thoughts to be different than normal.

You may have all kinds of questions:

Why am I so tired now?

Is everything going well with my baby in my belly?

I'm dreading the birth, is that strange?

Will you be a good mother?

Mindful pregnant answers all your questions.

We maintain your mental condition by managing stress and training for rest. You will learn more about a pleasant pregnancy, what you can do yourself.

By applying mindfulness you will be well prepared for your birth. We discuss acceptance of (natural) pain and stress reactions of your body that can occur during childbirth. You learn to go along with it, to absorb pain instead of resisting it.

SENS mindful pregnant consists of 3 sessions of 60 minutes in which we pay attention to what changes in your body during pregnancy and childbirth. During the sessions you will do breathing, attention, consciousness, movement and meditation exercises and learn to deal with stress differently.
