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 strain on your back rises. The Australian Physiotherapy Association reports that 50% of women will face low back pain during pregnancy. Physiolates exercises can enhance your abdominal muscles, which may lower 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 Bentleigh
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 felt in one or both buttocks 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 the pubic region, typically worsened 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
Due to the rib cage expanding 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 begins during pregnancy and can be made worse after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
