Pregnancy is a time where your body completely changes. Maintaining strength is so important to support those continuous changes.

Providing there are no contradictions to exercise, pilates is a safe space to maintain your strength and mobility throughout your pregnancy.

In pre natal pilates, we focus on strengthening your glutes, postural muscles and pelvic floor. Together we aim to improve balance and posture, in return reducing pain, as well as to build strength and endurance to prepare for birth and your recovery.

Some other benefits of pre natal pilates may include, enhancing your mood, reducing stress and improving your breathing control.

• If you are already exercising – it is safe to continue to do so

• If you have not exercised prior to pregnancy, we recommend to wait until 12 weeks until you begin to start modified Pilates with us. Please chat with our lovely admin team here.

• Reach out to Lizzie at Women’s & Pelvic Health Physio Riverland.

• During your 1:1 consult, Lizzie will ask a range of questions that will allow her to get a gain a thorough understanding of how your body is going while observing your posture, alignment and overall movement.

• After your 1:1 consult, Lizzie will discuss our pre-natal classes available and get you booked in to begin your pregnancy Pilates journey with us.

• Please book a 1:1 consult with Kloey at Women’s & Pelvic Health Physio Riverland, approx. 5-6 weeks post birth.
