Pregnancy and Exercise: Strengthen Your Body During and After Pregnancy
Pregnant and want to continue exercising? Get expert advice from a physiotherapist on safe exercise during pregnancy and how to best take care of your body.
When you are physically active during your pregnancy, exercise can have many positive effects for both your baby and yourself. It's not just your body that benefits from movement; it also strengthens your physical and mental health, gives you more energy in everyday life, improves your mood, and helps you reduce stress.
Staying physically active during pregnancy is an investment in your own well-being. If you are unsure how to get started safely, you can read our guide to exercise during pregnancy.
MyBelly is dedicated to supporting you throughout the entire process. Therefore, we have established a strong community with a network of experts who can help you stay active – both during your pregnancy and in the time after childbirth.
What can a physiotherapist do for you?
In this blog, we would like to introduce you to one of our partners in physiotherapy. First and foremost, you will find a brief explanation of what a physiotherapist does.
Physiotherapists focus on improving the body's muscles, joints, bones, and nervous system so that they function optimally and move more efficiently. Physiotherapy is often used to improve functionality and alleviate discomfort from, for example, illness or injuries. For pregnant women, the focus on stability is particularly important, and many benefit greatly from specific pelvic floor exercises to prevent and alleviate discomfort.

Meet Vejle Bækkenklinik
Vejle Bækkenklinik offers specialized physiotherapy for the treatment of pelvic-related problems, as well as group training for pregnant women. This allows you to maintain good fitness throughout your pregnancy and helps you safely transition after childbirth.
Vejle Bækkenklinik's therapist, Marianne Schultz, has more than 30 years of experience in treating and training the body's muscles and joints, and more than 10 years of experience in treating the pelvic area. She has chosen to focus specifically on the treatment and training of pregnant women because she has a great interest in the field and has found that many pregnant women lacked a place to go where there was a therapist who specialized in treating pregnant women.
