The Benefits of Pregnancy Pilates
Exercise during pregnancy brings multiple health benefits, including superior weight control, boosted mood, and greater fitness. It can also diminish the risk of pregnancy-related complications like hypertension and pre-eclampsia.
As your baby grows, the stress on your back escalates. According to the Australian Physiotherapy Association, 50% of women will suffer from low back pain throughout their pregnancy. Physiolates exercises can strengthen your abdominal muscles, helping to reduce the risk of back pain or pelvic girdle pain.
Another frequent issue during pregnancy is bladder leakage. As you progress through your trimesters, your pelvic floor can also weaken. Our team at Physiolates can refer you to a continence physiotherapist for help. The APA mentions “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)

Pregnancy Physiotherapy Armadale
Glen Eira Physiotherapy features several physios with a keen interest in treating musculoskeletal pain related to pregnancy. Common conditions treated by our physios include:
Sacro-iliac joint pain
Discomfort in one or both buttocks accompanied by low back pain.
Low back pain
Commonly resulting from a posture change due to the growing foetus.
Pubic symphysis pain
Pain in the pubic area, usually intensified by standing on one leg or excessive leg separation.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Wrist pain, pins and needles, and hand numbness, more severe at night.
Rib pain
Caused by the expansion of the rib cage to accommodate the baby.
Diastasis Rectus Abdominis
Often appearing as a vertical bulge from the stomach, this is the separation of the abdominal muscle caused by pregnancy. Early detection is crucial. If you notice it during pregnancy, the correct advice and exercises are vital. Avoid starting a gym program without proper guidance.
Thoracic pain
Pain around the bra strap area typically begins during pregnancy and may worsen post-pregnancy and during breastfeeding.
