SAFE & EFFECTIVE POSTPARTUM TRAINING
After giving birth, your body feels foreign. Pelvic floor weakness, incontinence, lack of stability – many mothers know this feeling. But there is a way back to your former strength. And it can even be fun.
Pregnancy, childbirth, pelvic floor: Why postpartum recovery is important NOW
Pregnancy and childbirth place considerable strain on the female pelvic floor. The "pelvic floor" refers to the three-layered musculature that forms the base of the bony pelvis. These muscles primarily support the pelvic organs, such as the bladder, uterus, and intestines. As the baby and uterus grow, the weight that the pelvic floor must support increases significantly until the end of the pregnancy.
Childbirth itself also places significant demands on the pelvic floor muscles. While opening and relaxation are necessary for delivery, the pelvic floor must immediately resume its supporting function afterward. Conditions such as stress incontinence affect many women after childbirth – and often worsen with age if the muscles are not strengthened now.
The Mini Balance Board: Your postpartum recovery partner with a fun factor
Traditional pelvic floor exercises are important – but let's be honest: they're often boring. And what's boring doesn't get done. That's why midwives recommend the Mini Balance Board. It makes postpartum recovery more effective, safer, and more fun.
Why the Mini Balance Board is more than just a training device:
✓ Involuntary training – Your pelvic floor activates automatically when balancing, without you having to consciously think about it.
✓ ✓ Fun instead of obligation – engaging exercises instead of boring routines. You stay motivated and train regularly.
✓ Safe for moms – The crescent-shaped cork roll prevents tipping and is specially designed for beginners
✓ Time-saving – Just 5 minutes a day has a positive effect on your pelvic floor
✓ For the whole family – After your postpartum recovery, the board becomes a toy for your children ( even used in daycare centers !)
✓ Swiss Made – Sustainable, high-quality, durable. Handmade in Switzerland
Recommended by midwives: Why experts rely on the Mini Balance Board
"The mini balance board offers a great way to train your pelvic floor muscles while having fun. Even short training sessions have a positive effect. Because to maintain your balance, you involuntarily use your pelvic floor muscles and train your entire core at the same time."
Midwives recommend the Mini Balance Board because it combines postpartum recovery with fun. The special thing about it: you don't have to consciously think about the tension – your body does it automatically. This leads to better posture and helps the pelvic floor to gradually resume its supporting function.
When can I start training after giving birth?
You can begin gentle exercises after 1-2 weeks. The main goal here is to reconnect with your pelvic floor muscles. It's important that the first exercises are properly guided. Ask your postpartum midwife for suitable exercises.
After 6-8 weeks, we recommend attending a postpartum recovery course to specifically train the pelvic floor muscles. However, not only the pelvic floor, but also the abdominal muscles play an important supporting role. These are also trained in the postpartum recovery course.
Even though a cesarean section puts less strain on the pelvic floor, a postpartum recovery course is still recommended afterwards, as the entire pelvic floor sinks down by several centimeters due to pregnancy alone.
Selection of training sessions with the Mini Balance Board
Sheila, mother of two and co-owner of MECOS BOARDS, presents a selection of pelvic floor exercises for each phase after pregnancy that will not only accelerate your recovery process but also be fun.
Phase 1: Light balance exercises after 1-2 weeks
Gentle and supported balancing exercises, accompanied if necessary. This phase focuses on becoming aware of and gently activating the pelvic floor muscles again.
💡 Tip: This exercise becomes even more effective with the mini balance board – the unstable surface activates your pelvic floor involuntarily, without you having to consciously think about it.
Phase 2: Balancing with elements after 6-8 weeks
Balance with bent knees while holding light objects or a resistance band. Now you can increase the intensity and specifically work on your core.
💡 Tip: The mini balance board makes these exercises varied and motivating – you train effectively without it feeling like an obligation.
Phase 3: Coordination exercises after 3-6 months
Coordination exercises with a thrown light ball | Changing upper body position and alignment | Balancing while seated with raised feet | Planks with arms on the balance board in push-up position.
💡 Tip: Now it gets really fun! The Mini Balance Board challenges your entire core and turns boring exercises into a playful workout.
