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 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)

Discomfort in pubic area, often aggravated by standing on one leg or excessive leg separation.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Wrist discomfort, tingling, and numbness in the hand, aggravated at night.
Rib pain
Resulting from the rib cage expanding to make room for the baby.
Diastasis Rectus Abdominis
Often appearing as a vertical bulge from the stomach, this is the separation of the abdominal muscle caused by pregnancy. Early detection is crucial. If you notice it during pregnancy, the correct advice and exercises are vital. Avoid starting a gym program without proper guidance.
