The 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 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)

Pregnancy Physiotherapy Ormond
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 felt in one or both buttocks with low back pain.
Low back pain
Typically caused by a shift in posture as the foetus grows.
Pubic symphysis pain
Pain in the pubic area, usually intensified by standing on one leg or excessive leg separation.
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
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
Pain around the bra strap area typically begins during pregnancy and may worsen post-pregnancy and during breastfeeding.
