Benefits of Pregnancy Pilates
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 common complaint in pregnancy is bladder leakage. As you continue through your trimesters your pelvic floor can also weaken, our team at Physiolates can refer you to a continence physiotherapist for assistance. The APA states “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)

Low back pain

Carpal tunnel syndrome
Wrist discomfort, tingling, and numbness in the hand, aggravated at night.
Rib pain
Caused by the expansion of the rib cage to accommodate 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.
