Antenatal Pregnancy Pilates – New Class @ Healthfix!

Calling all future mums to be. Healthfix has developed a new program to help you prepare mentally and physically for birth and motherhood in a safe, supportive and sustainable way. Our Women’s Health Team of pelvic floor physiotherapists and Pilates instructors have developed a brand new Pilates program that is designed to help you build pelvic floor awareness and posterior chain strength to support you during pregnancy and beyond. <br Our pregnancy Pilates classes are created and refined, in a collaborative way, by our pelvic floor physiotherapy and Pilates instructor team. All classes are delivered by our accredited Pilates instructors. By taking part in pregnancy Pilates at Healthfix, you will feel the support and connection of an integrated health team who are here to support you on your journey to motherhood. The goal of our Pilates classes are to –
  1. Build lower body and posterior chain strength to support you in carrying your growing baby through pregnancy.
  2. Build upper body strength and endurance to help prepare you for carrying your new-born and breastfeeding.
  3. Develop hip stability and pelvic control to assist you in a safe labour and delivery.
  4. Lengthening and strengthening your adductor thigh muscles to help support the weight of your growing baby belly and providing your more leverage to push during labour.
Exercise is a safe and beneficial thing to be doing throughout your pregnancy as it can help reduce common pregnancy symptoms and improve your overall health during pregnancy and post-partum. Exercise during pregnancy has proven to help:
  • Reduce symptoms of morning sickness, insomnia, stress and anxiety.
  • Improve psychological well-being.
  • Assist with weight management and prevention of gestational diabetes.
  • Reduce and prevent lower back pain.
  • Improve labour outcomes by improving pelvic endurance, awareness, stability and strength.
