Postnatal Pilates
Your body can change in many ways during pregnancy and birth and sometimes it can result in an overly stressed pelvic floor or stretched tummy muscles or a weak lower back. Life with a babe in arms and possibly a toddler in tow may not allow much in the way of rehab time. The focus of this class is to strengthen those deep support muscles and get them working in synch again. This is a baby friendly class - as long as they aren't yet mobile!
Post Natal Recovery
Using weights, bands and body weight to help rebuild strength, alignment and mobility from your deep core. This is not a one size fits all, it's low impact and there are always options - you set the challenge.
We recommend this from after your GP check post partum. If you have had a baby we're assuming you know of any diastasis recti or pelvic floor dysfunction and are aware of any limitations. If you're not sure about this we recommend seeing one of our osteopaths for a Mummy MOT.
Babies are welcome!
