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

Don't walk around with pain for too long. That's a shame and can prevent you from enjoying your pregnancy. Often with just a few treatments you can get your symptoms under control.

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

Pelvic floor problems often occur during pregnancy and after childbirth.

Common problems include:

– Urinary incontinence

– Fecal incontinence

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

– Frequent urge or need to urinate often

– Too 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 because of the hormones, frequent urination and pain when turning. Frequent dreams and being anxious about everything that is to come are also very common.

Sleep therapy for pregnant women can provide a solution.

You will start to map out your sleep pattern and then get started with practical tips and exercises.

Due to all the changes (physical, emotional) in your body during pregnancy, breathing may not feel the way it did before pregnancy. This may cause you to breathe less efficiently.

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

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

Pregnancy massage has the following positive effects:

• The relief of pregnancy ailments
• Your muscles become more flexible and are therefore less likely to cause pain (cramps, etc.)
• It stimulates blood circulation
• Improves the transport of nutrients and oxygen through your body
• It provides relaxation for both mother and child
• Helps with poor sleep

We use pure essential oils from Volatile.

The intensity of the massage is tailored to your wishes.

Every massage is different and therefore unique.

For this massage we have a special Prental massage table at Sens Beweegt Je with a recess for the belly and breasts. This allows you to lie on your stomach during the massage. The belly is well supported. If you do not like this, you can also be massaged on your side or sitting on a massage chair.

Pregnancy massages are given from 12 weeks until delivery.

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

45 min €47.50

60 min €60.00

Pregnant with your first child? Or with the second, third or maybe even the fourth? For you, SENS offers the BIRTH COURSE!

In addition to all the necessary information about the course of a normal delivery, you will be prepared to be physically ready and to know what you can do when the delivery is ready.

How do I deal with dilation or pushing contractions, which positions and movements can I adopt during delivery?

During childbirth, partners also play an important role. Therefore, it is important that he or she knows what is going to happen and how support can be provided in the area of breathing, relaxation and massage techniques.

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

You may have all sorts of questions:

Why am I so tired now?

Is everything okay with my baby in my belly?

I'm dreading the birth, is that weird?

Will you be a good mother?

Mindful pregnancy answers all your questions.

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

By applying mindfulness you are well prepared for your delivery. Acceptance of (natural) pain and stress reactions of your body, which can occur during delivery, we go through. 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 do breathing, attention, awareness, movement and meditation exercises and you learn to deal with stress differently.

• 1 on 1 sessions with a pregnancy therapist.
• Practical exercises
• It is recommended to start the course between the 21st and 26th week of your pregnancy. It is best to complete the course no later than your 38th week.

The cost is €225. Some health insurers will reimburse the cost. Check the policy or call the health insurer for more information.
