At Centre 1 M\u00e9s, we focus on preparing the pelvic floor for pregnancy using advanced and effective methods, performed by our midwife. This preparation includes perineal massage and, optionally, the use of the EPI-NO device.<\/p>\n

What is EPI-NO?<\/h2>\n

The EPI-NO is a device designed to exercise the pelvic floor muscles. It consists of a silicone balloon and a hand knob with an integrated pressure display (biofeedback). This device not only prepares the pelvic floor for childbirth, but also helps restore muscle tone postpartum.<\/p>\n

Clinically Proven Benefits of EPI-NO<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. Reduced Labor Time<\/strong>: Clinical studies have shown that EPI-NO training can significantly reduce the second stage of labor. In a control group, the average duration was 54 minutes, while in the group using EPI-NO, it was reduced to 29 minutes. (<\/span>Starnberg Medical<\/a>)<\/span><\/span> (<\/span>Epino<\/a>)<\/span><\/span>.<\/li>\n
  2. Better APGAR Scores<\/strong>: Babies born to mothers who used the EPI-NO showed higher APGAR scores, indicating better immediate physical condition after birth. (<\/span>Epino<\/a>)<\/span><\/span>.<\/li>\n
  3. Reduced Need for Analgesics<\/strong>: The demand for analgesics during labor decreased by almost two-thirds, from 42% in the control group to 16% in the EPI-NO group. (<\/span>Starnberg Medical<\/a>)<\/span><\/span>.<\/li>\n
  4. Reduced Episiotomy and Perineal Injury Rate<\/strong>: Women who used EPI-NO had a significantly lower rate of episiotomies and perineal injuries. Four times as many women in the EPI-NO group experienced a delivery without any perineal injury compared to the control group (<\/span>Epino<\/a>)<\/span><\/span> (<\/span>Epino<\/a>)<\/span><\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    How EPI-NO Works<\/h4>\n

    EPI-NO training is performed in two main phases:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Pelvic Floor Strengthening Exercises<\/strong>: Begin early in pregnancy and continue after delivery. These exercises help to support the weight of pregnancy and a faster recovery of the pelvic floor after childbirth. (<\/span>Epino<\/a>)<\/span><\/span> (<\/span>Epino<\/a>)<\/span><\/span>.<\/li>\n
    2. Perineum Stretching Exercises<\/strong>: Begin around the 36th week of pregnancy. These 20-minute daily exercises help to increase the elasticity of the perineum, simulating the sensation of childbirth and preparing the body for a more natural and less traumatic birth. (<\/span>Starnberg Medical<\/a>)<\/span><\/span> (<\/span>Epino<\/a>)<\/span><\/span>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
