Mensendieck

Mensendieck Prinsengracht Sandra Langenveld
There are six classes for expectant mothers and, after the birth, a group session with the mothers and their babies. We start with a warm-up. During pregnancy, good posture is important. We do exercises for the whole body to prevent or relieve complaints that may occur during pregnancy or after childbirth. In every class, we focus on the muscles and muscle groups that are used intensively during pregnancy and delivery.

In doing so, we also make the connection to your physical recovery after the birth. The most important part is the preparation for the birth itself: relaxation, breathing and concentration exercises. You learn how to handle contractions and how you can actively help during the pushing phase.
