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 pressure on your back increases. According to the Australian Physiotherapy Association 50% of women will experience low back pain throughout their pregnancy. Physiolates exercises can strengthen your abdominal muscles which can reduce the risk of developing back pain or pelvic girdle pain.

Another usual complaint in pregnancy is bladder leakage. As you move through your trimesters, your pelvic floor can also weaken. Our team at Physiolates can refer you to a continence physiotherapist for support. The APA indicates “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)

Sacro-iliac joint pain

Low back pain

Commonly resulting from a posture change due to the growing foetus.

Pubic symphysis pain

Discomfort in pubic area, often aggravated 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

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.

Thoracic pain

Pain around the bra strap area typically begins during pregnancy and may worsen post-pregnancy and during breastfeeding.
