Prenatal Pilates
Prenatal Pilates is a great way for women to continue exercising in a safe and controlled way during their pregnancy. At Physiolates, we run a prenatal Pilates class as well as offering 1:1 Pilates sessions with our specially trained physiotherapists.
How it works
Pilates incorporates various low impact exercises designed to increase deep core and pelvic floor strength as your body changes throughout your pregnancy. Increasing deep core and pelvic muscle strength gives the spine and pelvis more stability, allowing you to function at your optimum level while pregnant. Increasing stability muscle strength also helps reduce risk of back pain as your baby’s weight increases.
Benefits of Prenatal Pilates
There are many benefits of prenatal Pilates. Benefits include:
- Strengthening deep core and pelvic floor muscles
- Increased joint stability as your baby grows
- Preparing the body for labour
- Reduced risk of incontinence
- Reduce risk of sciatic nerve pain

Pilates is suitable for those greater than 12 weeks pregnant. We do ask you to please check with your GP or midwife before starting prenatal Pilates.
