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 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 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 Ashwood
Glen Eira Physiotherapy employs several physios who are particularly interested in managing musculoskeletal pain associated with pregnancy. Common conditions treated by our physios include:
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
Pain in pubic region, usually made worse by standing on one leg or excessive separation of legs.
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.
Thoracic pain
Pain around the bra strap area typically begins during pregnancy and may worsen post-pregnancy and during breastfeeding.
