Pregnancy
At Glen Eira Physiotherapy, our physios offer in-depth and uniquely crafted Pregnancy Pilates programs.
Our physiotherapists have a particular interest and significant experience in handling prevalent musculoskeletal pregnancy complaints and formulating 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 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 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)

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 pubic region, usually made worse 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
Due to the rib cage expanding to accommodate 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
Discomfort around the bra strap area often starts during pregnancy and can worsen after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
