Sport nach der Geburt

Once the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles have recovered, sport can be a welcome counterbalance to a mother's everyday life. In general, women who exercise are less likely to have problems with a sagging pelvic floor.

Sports that are not recommended

However, there are sports that are not recommended at this stage of a woman's life.
Jumping and kicking in a very physical position (round back, straddled legs) build up high abdominal pressure against the pelvic floor. Sports such as tennis, volleyball, jogging, running and horse riding require a healthy and strong pelvic floor.

Recommended sports

Nordic walking, swimming, inline skating, cross-country skiing etc. are recommended sports. The whole body is in tension, balance is trained and a straight posture (closed pelvic floor) is a prerequisite. These sports are not only very relaxing, but also protect and train the pelvic floor.
