BeBo Gesundheitstraining - Beckenboden

What BeBo Gesundheitstraining - Beckenboden does

BeBo® Verlag & Training GmbH, operating since 1996 out of Maur (Kanton Zürich, Switzerland), is the leading specialized pelvic floor education provider in the German-speaking world, organized around its proprietary BeBo Konzept methodology. The company delivers a tiered certification pathway — a Beckenboden Basislehrgang (Foundation Course, CHF/EUR 430–495 per module) leading to the certificate "Beckenboden Fachfrau/Fachmann," followed by four Aufbaulehrgänge (advanced certifications): TrainerIn (CHF/EUR 425), TherapeutIn (~CHF/EUR 1,700), Schwangerschaft & Rückbildung (CHF/EUR 430–495), and Fachperson Sexualität (CHF/EUR 940 mandatory seminars) — plus a la carte workshops and Fachseminare. Core targets are physiotherapists, midwives, nurses, fitness trainers, yoga/Pilates teachers, and complementary therapists in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, South Tyrol, and Poland. Curriculum quality is anchored by an interdisciplinary team of lecturers and a BeBo Expertenrat of recognized medical specialists, with academic partners including Berner Fachhochschule Gesundheit, Hochschule Fresenius, and clinical partners such as Stadtspital Triemli's Beckenbodenzentrum and KontinenzZentrum Hirslanden.

BeBo monetizes across six streams: professional course and certification fees, an annual BeBo Member licensing program (CHF/EUR 85/year + one-time entry fee), direct-to-consumer sales of self-published books (including 'Entdeckungsreise zur weiblichen Mitte', ~86,000 copies sold) and the 60 Beckenboden Videos digital program (CHF/EUR 149), B2B inhouse corporate training at hospitals and clinics (e.g., Moritz Klinik, Dec 2024), the hybrid annual BeBo Symposium, and a partner-school distribution network covering nine named training partners across CHE/DEU/AUT/Südtirol. Distribution combines partner schools (CareStudy Bad Zurzach, ADMEDIA Chemnitz, Grone Hamburg, Bildungszentrum Bad Lippspringe, Fortbildungszentrum Klagenfurt, Bildungshaus Kloster Neustift, etc.), a proprietary learning platform (lernen.beckenboden.com), the finder.beckenboden.com directory, and direct e-commerce. Critical regulatory assets include QualiCert recognition in Switzerland and ZPP §20 certification in Germany, which let certified practitioners bill preventive pelvic floor courses through major health insurers.

The company is privately held with no external investors or subsidiaries; ownership passed from Yvonne Keller (founder, 1996) to Judith Krucker (2001) and then to her daughter Jolanda Kull as Managing Director and owner in 2020, while Krucker continues on the Beirat der Geschäftsleitung. Centralized certifications, a 30-year track record, and a network of over 10,000 trained professionals underpin a defensible niche position, though the lack of disclosed revenue, headcount, and any technology platform beyond learning management indicates a founder-led specialized services firm rather than a scale software business.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves7 records

Expansion highlights6 records

Emerging players

• Caress Flow / Elvie (Chiaro Technology): Consumer women's health brand with connected pelvic floor trainers (e.g., Elvie Trainer). Adjacent to BeBo's consumer-facing pelvic floor education, but operating in the consumer device category rather than professional certification.
• Renovia: US-based women's health technology company developing digital therapeutics for pelvic floor disorders (e.g., leva device). Competes in adjacent pelvic floor value chain by offering technology-enabled training rather than certification, but targets overlapping populations of patients and clinicians.

Others

• QualiCert: Swiss health insurance recognition body representing major insurers. Not a direct competitor, but a regulator/credentialing partner that tightly couples BeBo's training to the Swiss reimbursement system — a structural counterparty that shapes BeBo's addressable market.
• ZVK (Deutscher Verband für Physiotherapie): German national physiotherapy professional association offering recognized specialization pathways and continuing education. Comparable as a credentialing body in the same physiotherapy professional market BeBo serves, though broader in scope.

Direct peers

• Physio Pelvica: German pelvic floor physiotherapy education and certification program. Explicitly named in BeBo's data as a competing pelvic floor specialty credential in the DACH region, with reciprocal recognition pathways between BeBo and Physio Pelvica.
• Pelvisuisse: Swiss pelvic floor therapy professional organization providing alternative certification pathways. Directly competes for the same Swiss physiotherapy/midwife demographic and is recognized by BeBo for prior learning credit.
• Pelvic Health & Rehabilitation Center: US-based pelvic floor clinical care and continuing education provider offering courses and certifications for clinicians. Comparable to BeBo in combining clinical expertise with structured professional training products in the pelvic floor niche.
• Herman & Wallace Pelvic Rehabilitation Institute: US-based leading provider of pelvic floor rehabilitation continuing education and certification for physical therapists and healthcare professionals. Directly comparable to BeBo in offering multi-tier pelvic floor certification pathways with significant installed base of trained clinicians.

Broad incumbents

• Thieme Verlag (Georg Thieme Verlag): Major German medical publisher and education provider producing medical textbooks, journals, and continuing education for healthcare professionals. Comparable to BeBo in producing pelvic-floor-relevant educational content and credentials, though at a much larger scale and broader portfolio.

Regional players

• Careum Weiterbildung: Swiss healthcare education and training provider offering a broad portfolio of professional development courses for nurses, therapists, and healthcare professionals. Comparable to BeBo in delivering accredited health-professions continuing education in Switzerland, but across a much wider portfolio.
