During labour, a woman’s pelvic floor muscle, which plays an important role in childbirth, is stretched, resulting in changes in tone, flexibility and sensitivity. All these reasons are why it is extremely important that women strengthen and fully restore the function of their pelvic floor.

This form of gymnastics is a strong tool for postpartum urogynecological rehabilitation, and it is advised that women do these exercises for between 6 and 8 weeks after giving birth, with medical guidance, in order to resume sexual activity.

Hypopressive Abdominal Gymnastics is especially advised to aid in the rehabilitation / prevention of urinary incontinence, vaginal and visceral prolapses, sexual dysfunctions, reduction of the abdominal perimeter, postural correction, prevention of back pain and improving the functioning of intestines.

Clinical psychology

Clinical Psychology also consists of a therapeutic intervention that aims to prevent / intervene in postpartum depression and / or manage fear and anxiety. Giving birth can be one of the best moments of a woman’s life, and although life with a new baby is exciting and rewarding, sometimes it can also be difficult and stressful, because of the multitude of physical and emotional changes women go through in pregnancy and after delivery.
