At Glen Eira Physiotherapy, our physiotherapists deliver detailed and custom 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.

Benefits 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 grows, the pressure on your back increases. According to the Australian Physiotherapy Association 50% of women will experience low back pain throughout their pregnancy. Physiolates exercises can strengthen your abdominal muscles which can reduce the risk of developing back pain or pelvic girdle pain.
Another usual complaint in pregnancy is bladder leakage. As you move through your trimesters, your pelvic floor can also weaken. Our team at Physiolates can refer you to a continence physiotherapist for support. The APA indicates “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)

Low back pain

Pubic symphysis pain
Discomfort in pubic area, often aggravated by standing on one leg or excessive leg separation.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Wrist ache, tingling sensations, and hand numbness, worse during the night.
Rib pain
Caused by the expansion of the rib cage to accommodate the baby.
Diastasis Rectus Abdominis
This usually shows as a vertical bulge down the stomach, indicating the separation of the tummy muscle due to pregnancy. Early detection is essential. If you observe it during pregnancy, getting the right advice and doing specific exercises is important. Do not start a gym program without advice.
