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 develops, the pressure on your back intensifies. The Australian Physiotherapy Association states that 50% of women will endure low back pain during their pregnancy. Physiolates exercises can fortify your abdominal muscles, potentially reducing 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 Malvern
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
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
Resulting from the rib cage expanding to make room for 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 often starts during pregnancy and can be exacerbated after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
