Pregnancy
At Glen Eira Physiotherapy, our physiotherapists deliver detailed and custom Pregnancy Pilates programs.
Our physiotherapists possess a strong interest and extensive experience in addressing typical musculoskeletal pregnancy issues and creating 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.

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 frequent issue during pregnancy is bladder leakage. As you progress through your trimesters, your pelvic floor can also weaken. Our team at Physiolates can refer you to a continence physiotherapist for help. The APA mentions “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 Murrumbeena
Glen Eira Physiotherapy features several physios with a keen interest in treating 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 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
Discomfort around the bra strap area often starts during pregnancy and can worsen after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
