News on the pelvic floor for midwives - effective training in the home environment

On 01.10.2026, physiotherapist Ulla Henscher will be available to us as a speaker from 9 am to 4 pm

Special measures are necessary to get the traces of pregnancy, birth and early and late postpartum back under control. Closing the rectus diastasis and normalizing pelvic floor function are the core elements of this work. A basic knowledge of typical pathologies and their treatment such as incontinence, organ prolapse and pain in the pelvic ring are helpful components of this training.

Ms. Henscher will discuss topics such as functional pelvic floor work, adapted abdominal muscle training, pelvic floor-friendly everyday behavior, posture correction and advice on aids (e.g. pessaries) with us and also provide practical exercises.
Ms. Henscher is happy to respond to special needs and questions at any time.

We will accept your registrations until 28.08.2026 by e-mail or by telephone during our specified office hours.

Basic Knowledge About Addiction—From Attitudes to Coping Strategies

Wednesday, January 27, 2027, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Addiction takes many forms—whether it involves alcohol, cannabis, prescription medications, or other illegal substances. For professionals, this means being attentive, observing with sensitivity, and at the same time maintaining an open and respectful rapport—without jumping to conclusions or downplaying the issue. But where does harmful use begin, and when does it become an addiction? How do I broach the subject? What specific considerations apply during pregnancy and breastfeeding? This practical training course provides fundamental knowledge on the topic of addiction and offers guidance on how to professionally support people who use substances or are at risk of addiction in your work.

Please register by January 13, 2027, by emailing hebammenzentrale@region-hannover.de or by calling during the listed office hours.

In the first part, they will explain which osteopathic treatments can support pregnant women before and after childbirth. 

The focus will then shift to infant osteopathy: potential birth-related complications and injuries, as well as their osteopathic treatment options, will be discussed. The two presenters will address oral restrictions and their significance for the infant’s development in particular.
