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 develops, the pressure on your back intensifies. The Australian Physiotherapy Association states that 50% of women will endure low back pain during their pregnancy. Physiolates exercises can fortify your abdominal muscles, potentially reducing the risk of 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 Prahran
Glen Eira Physiotherapy features several physios with a keen interest in treating musculoskeletal pain related to pregnancy. Common conditions treated by our physios include:
Sacro-iliac joint pain
Pain in one or both buttocks along 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 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
Discomfort around the bra strap area often starts during pregnancy and can worsen after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
