Our fasciae do a real masterpiece during pregnancy. They give way, stretch, create space and at the same time provide support, stability and strength. When you look in the mirror at your body and your growing belly, you can see what your fascial system has helped to create. And not only on a physical level - the fascia system is also closely connected to you emotionally.
Fascia runs through the entire body like a three-dimensional network. They envelop muscles, bones, organs, blood vessels and nerves - as if you were in a full-body suit that gives you shape and contour. A vivid image: think of an orange. The white membranes that surround the fruit and divide it into sections are comparable to the fasciae in our body. Even the small juice chambers are surrounded by fine membranes - our fascia network is just as comprehensive and differentiated. Fasciae have many functions: They provide shape and structure, transfer forces, store energy, for gliding ability, support the immune system and supply the tissue. They are also an important sensory organ for perception and movement - a constant mediator between body and emotion.
During pregnancy, the architecture of the body changes: posture, statics and the body's center of gravity shift. Your fasciae accompany this process with their impressive adaptability and are put under great strain:
Can you imagine how all these changes affect your entire body via your fascia network?
Especially during pregnancy, it is worth working on your inner and outer centeredness. Small everyday habits and conscious training can help to keep your fascia network in balance:
The fascial network is elastic, resilient, stretchy, strong and at the same time tear-resistant - it is resilient. You can train this resilience during pregnancy so that movements remain supple, adhesions are released and your body remains adaptable. A birth rarely follows a plan. But with physical and mental resilience, it is easier to find confidence and deal flexibly with change. Your fasciae are important allies in this process.
Did you know that fasciae are now even referred to as our sixth sense? They are rich in receptors and highly innervated, a highly sensitive organ of perception. Training is therefore not just about What you do, but also How - how a movement feels. Hormonal changes also make emotions more prominent during pregnancy. Fascia work can help to give these feelings space instead of suppressing them. The baby is aware of many things - how beneficial it is if you allow yourself to let go and develop trust at the same time.
Fascia accompanies you through your pregnancy like a finely woven net that supports you and keeps you flexible at the same time. You can support their qualities with conscious movement, breathing and training: suppleness, elasticity and resilience. This not only prepares your body for birth and postnatal recovery, but also strengthens your confidence in yourself. Your fascia system gives you stability and flexibility and accompanies you at all levels during this special time. With targeted training as described in the FAMO Fascia Movement Method from art of motion, the quality of movement, stability and ease of movement can be wonderfully promoted in advance.
Especially in the time before and after pregnancy, it is particularly valuable if the pelvic floor and core are not considered in isolation, but as part of a functional, fascial networked system. This provides your body with optimal support for a healthy recovery, more energy in everyday life and a strong body feeling. Your fascial system is with you every moment of your life - it is worth paying attention to it.
