Ante-natal pregnancy physio led Pilates with Kate​

Thursday: 5:30pm - 6:30pm

​​

This class is suitable from 12 weeks pregnant and after you have had your first scan. The research into exercise in pregnancy is supportive and the guidelines suggest at least 150 minutes of accumulative moderate intensity exercise throughout the week.

 

From the very beginning of pregnancy your body experiences many fascinating changes, all designed to prepare your body for both the carrying of your baby and the eventual delivery. With these changes however, your body will physically adapt and excess pressure can be placed upon certain areas. Some areas can become stretched, strained, weakened and/or overused. These strains generally increase as you progress through the trimesters, so anything you can do from the start to maintain good posture and strength will hopefully ease aches later on. 

​

Pilates is the perfect ​​accompaniment for this. Pilates is a type of exercise that involves using your core (the abdominals, pelvic floor, back muscles, and diaphragm) to move more efficiently and it promotes restoring correct posture and alignment, whilst strengthening each muscle group. ​
