Post-natal Pilates

Post-natal Pilates

Benefits of Post-natal Exercise

Following months of pregnancy and then childbirth it is essential that exercise is safe and effective during the first few months after giving birth and that you are able to bring your baby with you. Having an instructor qualified to understand health issues associated with pregnancy and childbirth will help you to get the most from Pilates at this sensitive stage. A one to one post-natal session can enable you to focus on re-training the core muscles back to pre-pregnancy state.  


When to Start?

The big question is: When can I resume/start a post pregnancy Pilates programme? The events of your labour can make this a tricky question but following a GP's 6 week check it is usually safe to start to join a post-natal class. The initiation of pelvic floor and deep abdominal exercises in the immediate postpartum period is encouraged and may reduce the risk of future urinary incontinence.

As well as pelvic floor and deep abdominal recovery, a Pilates programme can be an excellent way to help improve posture and re-educate movement and co-ordination post pregnancy. Post-natal exercise concerns range from abdominal separation (diastasis recti), pubic symphis disfunction and joint instability.

 



Please note:

Post-natal Pilates classes are not currently running on the timetable. However, one to ones can be arranged. Please contact me for more information.
