Benefits 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 pressure on your back increases. According to the Australian Physiotherapy Association 50% of women will experience low back pain throughout their pregnancy. Physiolates exercises can strengthen your abdominal muscles which can reduce the risk of developing 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)

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
Commonly resulting from a posture change due to 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 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.
Thoracic pain
Pain around the bra strap area often begins during pregnancy and can be made worse after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
