Our physiotherapists have a particular interest and significant experience in handling prevalent musculoskeletal pregnancy complaints and formulating safe Pilates programs and classes for pregnancy.

Pregnancy Pilates is an excellent method to strengthen your core and get your body ready for childbirth. Our Pilates programs and classes are tailored individually. We advocate for small group pilates and keep the groups to 4 people.

The Benefits of Pregnancy Pilates

Exercise during pregnancy provides numerous health benefits including better weight control, improved mood and greater fitness. It could also reduce the risk of pregnancy-related complications like hypertension and pre-eclampsia.

As your baby develops, the pressure on your back intensifies. The Australian Physiotherapy Association states that 50% of women will endure low back pain during their pregnancy. Physiolates exercises can fortify your abdominal muscles, potentially reducing the risk of back pain or pelvic girdle pain.

Another common complaint in pregnancy is bladder leakage. As you continue through your trimesters your pelvic floor can also weaken, our team at Physiolates can refer you to a specialist continence physiotherapist for assistance. The APA states “up to 67 per cent of women will leak urine (incontinence) when they laugh, sneeze, cough or exercise during pregnancy but those with stronger pelvic floor muscles are less likely to leak during pregnancy and after the baby is born.” (Australian Physiotherapy Association)

Sacro-iliac joint pain

Pain in one or both buttocks coupled with low back pain.

Low back pain

Often caused by an alteration in posture as a result of the growing foetus.

Pubic symphysis pain

Discomfort in pubic area, often aggravated by standing on one leg or excessive leg separation.

Carpal tunnel syndrome

Wrist discomfort, tingling, and numbness in the hand, aggravated at night.

Rib pain

Caused by the expansion of the rib cage to accommodate the baby.

Diastasis Rectus Abdominis

Often seen as a vertical bulge from the stomach, this is the separation of the abdominal muscles caused by pregnancy. It's vital to catch it early. If noticed during pregnancy, proper advice and exercise are crucial. Avoid starting a gym program without proper advice.

Thoracic pain

Pain around the bra strap area often starts during pregnancy and can be exacerbated after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
