Pre & Post Natal Clinical Pilates Classes Chadstone
Pregnancy
At Glen Eira Physiotherapy, our physios offer in-depth and uniquely crafted Pregnancy Pilates programs.
Our physiotherapists have a special interest and many years of experience in treating common musculoskeletal pregnancy complaints as well as designing safe Pilates programs and classes for pregnancy.
Pregnancy Pilates is the ideal way to strengthen your core and help prepare your body for childbirth. Our Pilates programs and classes are individually designed. We believe in small group pilates and limit the groups to 4 people.

Why Pregnancy Pilates is Beneficial
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 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 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)

Pregnancy Physiotherapy Chadstone
Glen Eira Physiotherapy has several physios with a special interest in the treatment of musculoskeletal pain related to pregnancy. Common conditions treated by our physios include:
Sacro-iliac joint pain
Pain in one or both buttocks along with low back pain.
Low back pain
Frequently due to a change in posture caused by 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 pain, pins and needles and numbness in the hand, worse at night.
Rib pain
Caused by the rib cage widening to fit 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.
