In Germany, postpartum recovery classes (Rückbildungskurse) are a common part of postnatal care. They are designed to help you reconnect with your body after pregnancy and birth and gradually rebuild strength and function – especially in your pelvic floor, abdominal wall, core and the muscles that support your posture and movement.
This course is for women who gave birth at least 8 weeks ago. You do not need to be fit or have any previous exercise experience. This is not about losing weight, “getting your body back” or pushing yourself to perform. It is about understanding what your body needs after pregnancy and birth and helping it become strong, functional and resilient again.
Alongside the traditional elements of postpartum recovery, we will take a closer look at pelvic floor function, the abdominal wall and diastasis recti, posture and movement in everyday life, body awareness and relaxation. Pelvic floor health and diastasis recti are particular areas of focus in my professional development, and I continuously incorporate current evidence and new insights into my courses.
For me, postpartum recovery should not end with the final class. You’ll learn exercises and movement principles that you can continue using afterwards, without special equipment or elaborate workout routines. Many of them can be integrated into everyday life and adapted or progressed as your strength and needs change.
I don’t want childcare to be the reason you cannot attend a postpartum recovery course, so you are welcome to decide for yourself whether – and on which days – you bring your baby with you.
In my experience, you will usually be able to focus more fully on the exercises if you can attend without your baby. But if bringing your baby is what makes it possible for you to come, please do. A postpartum recovery course with your baby is always better than no postpartum recovery course at all. :)
The sessions build on one another, which is why regular attendance is particularly important. Please also read the information about committed participation further up on this page.
And of course, an in-person course is about more than exercise. It also gives you the chance to meet other women who are at a similar stage of life, share experiences and make connections – and quite a few friendships have lasted well beyond the end of the course.
costs: one postpartum recovery class is covered by German statutory health insurance if it is finished before 9 months postpartum. If you are privately insured, you will be billed personally.
