Pre & Post Natal Clinical Pilates Classes Ashburton
Pregnancy
At Glen Eira Physiotherapy, our physios provide thorough and tailored Pregnancy Pilates programs.
Our physiotherapists bring a keen interest and numerous years of experience in managing common musculoskeletal pregnancy conditions and developing 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.

Advantages of Pregnancy Pilates
Exercise during pregnancy delivers many health benefits including improved weight control, elevated mood, and better fitness. It might also decrease 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)

Pregnancy Physiotherapy Ashburton
Glen Eira Physiotherapy has several physios with a special interest in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain related to pregnancy. Common conditions treated by our physios include:
Sacro-iliac joint pain
Pain in one or both buttocks along with low back pain.
Low back pain
Frequently due to a change in posture caused by 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 pain, pins and needles, and hand numbness, more severe at night.
Rib pain
Resulting from the rib cage expanding to make room for the baby.
Diastasis Rectus Abdominis
This often presents as a bulge running vertically down from the stomach. This is the separation of the tummy muscle caused by pregnancy. It is imperative to catch it early. If you notice it during pregnancy the right advice and exercise is important. It is also very important not to start a gym program prior to advice.
Thoracic pain
Pain around the bra strap area often starts during pregnancy and can be exacerbated after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
