Our physiotherapists possess a strong interest and extensive experience in addressing typical musculoskeletal pregnancy issues and creating safe Pilates programs and classes for pregnancy.
Pregnancy Pilates offers the perfect approach to enhance your core strength and prepare your body for childbirth. Our Pilates programs and classes are customised individually. We support small group pilates and restrict the groups to 4 people.

Advantages of Pregnancy Pilates
Exercise during pregnancy offers a range of health benefits such as better weight control, enhanced mood, and increased fitness. It may also lower 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 typical issue in pregnancy is bladder leakage. As you advance through your trimesters, your pelvic floor can also weaken. Our team at Physiolates can refer you to a continence physiotherapist for assistance. The APA asserts “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 Caulfield
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
Typically caused by a shift in posture as the foetus grows.
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
Caused by the rib cage widening to fit 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
Discomfort around the bra strap area often starts during pregnancy and can worsen after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
