PILATES 4 You
 

Special Mums & Bubs classes

Pilates strengthens the core muscles that are weakened during pregnancy. Mums can prevent low back pain, incontinence, improve posture and strengthen weak abdominal muscles.

Pilates core strengthening exercises focus on the working relationship of the abdominals, back, diaphragm and pelvic floor muscles. This is very important for the new mum – and vital for lifting the baby into and out of the cot, off the floor, in and out of the car, walking, and performing basic activities of daily living. 

Our special 45 minute “Mums and Bubs” classes have been designed to focus on safety and recovery. The classes are run by one of our Pilates Instructors who specializes in Pre & Post Natal exercise. The classes are suitable for Mums and their babies of up to 12 months old.

Book into this class
During Pregnancy women can develop weakness in their stomach muscles and back/core stability – this is because the body adapts to the shift in the centre of gravity, primarily due to the added weight in the abdominal and pelvic regions. 

After delivery back pain and injury can be a significant problem because of the repeated bending, lifting and carrying associated with child rearing.

It is therefore important that back strengthening and stretching exercises are incorporated in your exercise routine.
