Exercise during pregnancy may assist with common health complaints such as lower back pain, maintaining healthy weight and mobility as well as reducing strain, improving balance and strengthening your pelvic floor. Classes run for 45 minutes, are led by a physiotherapist and are suitable throughout all stages of your pregnancy, with the focus on strengthening the pelvic floor and deep abdominal muscles using a combination of Physio techniques and Pilates informed exercises. These group classes use a variety of equipment including balls, resistance bands and Pilates reformers.

POSTNATAL PHYSIO EXERCISE/Pilates CLASS
Pilates is a particularly great exercise postnatally as much of it can be done lying down, which is important for giving your pelvic floor a rest!
Our Postnatal Physio Exercise/Pilates classes assist with physical recovery from childbirth and help your body to keep up with the demands of new motherhood. Classes run for 45 minutes, are led by a physiotherapist or qualified Pilates instructor and focus on strengthening the pelvic floor and deep abdominal muscles as well as combatting the postural effects of caring for a newborn using a combination of mat, small equipment and reformer exercises.
A one to one postnatal physiotherapy assessment is required before commencing this class to assess the pelvic floor and deep abdominal musculature and any other musculoskeletal issues that may have arisen during or persist post pregnancy. We recommend the postnatal assessment be completed and classes commenced at approximately 6 weeks post delivery. It may be recommended that you attend our Clinical Exercise classes depending upon how your body is coping in the post-natal period. We welcome new mums to bring their bubs along (up until they commence crawling) and attend to them as needed throughout class. You’re welcome to bring your bub in a capsule, pram or just pop them on a mat.
Private Health Insurance rebates are available for this class when taken by a qualified physiotherapist (item code 561).
