Overview of pre and post-natal classes
Our classes are catered for women anywhere from 14 weeks pregnant to full-term and 6 weeks postnatal onwards.
We run separate prenatal and postnatal exercise classes. We tailor the movements and exercises for each individual client depending on their stage pre/post-natal and any symptoms they may be experiencing.
All clients interested in attending these classes will be required to have a screening/initial appointment with one of our passionate women’s health physiotherapists.
These screening assessments allow your women’s health physio to create individualised exercise movement programs that best suit you.
Are pre and post-natal classes right for you?
Our classes focus on the key stages of the pregnancy journey to ensure you’re well-supported physically along the way.
Focus areas in our classes include deep core muscle strengthening exercises of the abdominals, back muscles, pelvic floor, and diaphragm. This can help with everyday tasks such as lifting and bending, improve posture, and ease pain.
Our classes may be just what you need if you’re experiencing
- lower back pain,
- pelvic girdle pain,
- abdominal separation,
- neck and shoulder pain, and
- pelvic floor issues.
Pre and post-natal exercise focus
Our exercises are tailored to each individual’s ability and focused on getting their baseline core control and technique good throughout each movement.
We provide Pilates-based, weights-based, and cardio exercises, along with various apparatus and exercises that can be done in different positions.
