Pregnancy & Postpartum Pilates
With a focus on strength, control and stretching, pilates classes target key areas of the body that are important to strengthen heading into the wonderful life stage that is pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood. Think legs and glutes to support a growing body; arms and upper back to prepare for all the feeding and nursing that you will do once your baby arrives.
And let’s not forget pelvic floor health. Pilates classes finish with specific pelvic floor physiotherapy exercises and stretching to encourage your muscles and body to relax in preparation for childbirth, and rehabilitation after having baby.
All exercises undertaken during each pilates class for pregnancy can be modified and altered to suit you and your changing body as needed.
Acupuncture & Dry Needling
Acupuncture and Dry Needling to ease those aches and pains, or to prepare the body for labour and birth.
