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 strain on your back rises. The Australian Physiotherapy Association reports that 50% of women will face low back pain during pregnancy. Physiolates exercises can enhance your abdominal muscles, which may lower 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 boasts several physios with a strong interest in addressing musculoskeletal pain related to pregnancy. Common conditions treated by our physios include:
Sacro-iliac joint pain
Discomfort in one or both buttocks accompanied by low back pain.
Low back pain
Commonly resulting from a posture change due to the growing foetus.
Pubic symphysis pain
Pain in the pubic area, usually intensified by standing on one leg or excessive leg separation.
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Wrist discomfort, tingling, and numbness in the hand, aggravated at night.
Rib pain
Caused by the rib cage widening to fit the baby.
Diastasis Rectus Abdominis
Often seen as a vertical bulge from the stomach, this is the separation of the abdominal muscles caused by pregnancy. It's vital to catch it early. If noticed during pregnancy, proper advice and exercise are crucial. Avoid starting a gym program without proper advice.
Thoracic pain
Discomfort around the bra strap area often starts during pregnancy and can worsen after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
