Pilates for Mums and Mums to be
Through specific low impact exercises focused on gentle strengthening, pelvic floor connection and pelvic stabilisation, Pilates helps reduce the risk of common pregnancy related conditions such as back pain, Diastasis Recti, (separation of the abdominal muscles) Pelvic Girdle Pain.
It combines flexibility and strength training with body and mind awareness, offering excellent benefits throughout pregnancy.
However, before you take up any Pilates exercises during pregnancy, you need to consult your doctor and work out under the guidance of a specifically qualified instructor.
At Happydemic Pilates you’re in safe hands!
