Advantages of Pregnancy Pilates
Exercise during pregnancy offers a range of health benefits such as better weight control, enhanced mood, and increased fitness. It may also lower 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)

Pregnancy Physiotherapy Ormond
Glen Eira Physiotherapy employs several physios who are particularly interested in managing musculoskeletal pain associated with pregnancy. Common conditions treated by our physios include:
Sacro-iliac joint pain
Pain in one or both buttocks coupled with low back pain.
Low back pain
Often caused by an alteration in posture as a result of 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
Due to the rib cage expanding to accommodate the baby.
Diastasis Rectus Abdominis
This often presents as a bulge running vertically down from the stomach. This is the separation of the tummy muscle caused by pregnancy. It is imperative to catch it early. If you notice it during pregnancy the right advice and exercise is important. It is also very important not to start a gym program prior to advice.
Thoracic pain
Pain around the bra strap area typically begins during pregnancy and may worsen post-pregnancy and during breastfeeding.
