Training for mother and child

We welcome you to maternity training for mum and baby in an individually adapted group with a physiotherapist.

Frisk mamma is a strength class that is adapted to you who have given birth and want to get started with training and physical activity in a safe way after giving birth. Throughout the class, you will receive close follow-up and guidance from a physiotherapist, and it will always be possible to adapt the exercises to individual requirements.

The focus is particularly on creating and maintaining contact with abdominal and pelvic muscles, as well as strength and stability in the hip to prepare the body for everyday activities and exercise. We carry out strength exercises for the large muscle groups and the whole body.

Who is the course suitable for?

• Suitable for you who have recently become a mother and who want to train in a small group with an experienced physiotherapist.
• It has been 6-8 weeks since birth (at least 8 weeks in case of caesarean section).
• The child is from 6-8 weeks and up to 9-10 months.
  

You and the baby are welcome to swim/bath before or after the lesson.
