Beckenboden- und Bauchmuskeltraining – sinnvoll in der Peripartalperiode

Bewegung und Sport während und nach der Schwangerschaft sind wichtig. Auch das Training der Beckenboden- und Bauchmuskulatur gehört dazu, denn es hilft, Risiken für den Beckenboden durch Schwangerschaft und Geburt reduzieren. Sah man früher vor allem in einem Training der Beckenbodenmuskulatur Nachteile für den Geburtsvorgang, weiß man heute, dass die Vorteile überwiegen. Dieser Artikel bietet ein Update und erklärt, wie sich die Bauchmuskeln bei einer Rektusdiastase effektiv trainieren lassen.
