Fasciae and their influence on movement, vitality and well-being have become the focus of much attention in recent years. They do an amazing job, especially in the post-pregnancy period. Bea Eggimann has been working on this topic for many years and will give you valuable ideas on how to support and specifically train your fascia during recovery.
Fasciae are far more than just "connective tissue". They form a comprehensive communication network that runs through the entire body from head to toe. They provide elasticity, for mobility and influence body perception. An illustrative model for this is the so-called Tensegrity model: bones act like rods that push outwards, fasciae like elastic ligaments that pull inwards. This creates a dynamic balance. A change in one area has an effect on the whole body, a principle that is particularly noticeable during pregnancy.
The entire body changes during pregnancy:
All these changes show: The regression affects not only individual muscles, but the entire fascial network.
After giving birth, it takes time and conscious movement to restore inner resilience. Bea Eggimann emphasizes the importance of myofascial training that specifically addresses the needs of postnatal recovery:
This training is always gradual. It takes into account the special situation of mothers in everyday life, in which lack of sleep, breastfeeding and emotional changes represent additional stresses.
Fasciae are rich in receptors and are strongly connected to the nervous system. This is why myofascial training not only has a physical effect, but also an emotional and energetic one. It can help to build up resources, reduce stress and regain a sense of inner stability.
Regression is therefore not only a process of physical regeneration, but also an opportunity to deepen your own body awareness and develop confidence in your new body.
Fasciae are a crucial part of the recovery process. They connect muscles, organs and structures with each other and react to every change in the body. Targeted myofascial training can strengthen elasticity, mobility and well-being - for more ease in everyday life as a mother and a stable basis for the future.
Bea Eggimann makes it clear that regression does not mean returning to the "old body", but consciously building up the new body center and nourishing the fascial network - for vitality on a physical, emotional and mental level.
Postnatal recovery is much more than the restoration of physical form after birth. It is an invitation to reconnect with your own body. Through mindful, myofascial training, you can release tension, build strength and regain confidence in your inner center. Fascia work helps you to feel stability and freedom of movement at the same time. It not only promotes physical balance, but also emotional well-being. With every conscious movement, you strengthen the connection between body, mind and soul and thus also your relationship with yourself. Treat yourself to this valuable time for yourself: islands of peace, self-awareness and inner peace. Step for step, you can regenerate, center yourself and start your everyday life as a mother with new energy - powerful, relaxed and anchored in yourself.
This approach and training philosophy is based on the latest findings from movement science and myofascial research. Especially the work of Karin Gurtner (art of motion, FAMO Fascia Movement), Muriel Morwitzer (art of motion), Sarah Duvall (Core Exercise Solutions) and Diane Lee provides valuable impulses on how resource-oriented, functional training after birth can sustainably strengthen the body and mind.
