Pregnancy Pilates
Pelvic Safe Pilates for Pregnancy
We all know that exercise is important for health and well being, but there are certain times in your life when you need to be more careful.
Almost every exercise you do affects your pelvic floor. Some exercise is harmful during pregnancy as it places extra stress on the pelvic floor - and may cause problems such as leakage or prolapse.
Exercising in some positions can increase the likliehood of diastasis recti. (Tummy Gap)
High impact, high load classes are not always appropriate.
We offer expertly designed pelvic safe reformer pilates classes. These classes are led by a Pilates trained Women's health Physiotherapist.
