Postnatal Pilates

Post-natal Pilates

Every delivery is different. Whether it natural or c-section, first, second or third child your body will recover differently after each and every birth.

There are now new demands on your body: reduced sleep, constant alert, picking up, carrying, lifting, pushing, feeding… your body and mind have to cope with all of these and at the same time, heal from the delivery.

Hormonal changes are still occurring whether you are breastfeeding or not and coping with everything can be overwhelming.

Here are some of the conditions that can occur during birth which can make recovery more difficult:

  • Episiotomy
  • tearing
  • c-section
  • pelvic floor weakness
  • diastasis

It is important for you to listen to your body and not push yourself back to exercise too soon and too hard as it may do more harm than good.

Having a clinical Pilates instructor is particularly helpful as we can conduct a physical assessment checking for strength, diastasis and mobility before starting you strengthening program. Therefore, your exercises are bespoke and progress as you get stronger.

Getting you back to a healthy a strong state has to be tailored to your individual needs.

"Had an amazing experience with Iona. She helped me with knee pain and rehabilitation after surgery. Very skilled and trustworthy osteopath with great anatomy knowledge. Highly recommended!"

Diana Cipriano

"Iona really helped me to return to working out post partum. She did a thorough check with the Mommy MOT and then recommended a customised plan for me. Her work on my back also provided immediate relief. Highly recommend her for all post partum moms who want to return to activity and feeling better faster!"

Brenna Hanley

"I can highly recommend this practice for pediatric and postpartum osteopathic treatments. Iona is very professional and friendly, she always explains what she is doing and why. She also gave me massage techniques and exercises to do at home. I have been attending sessions myself to help with postpartum pains and have been bringing my newborn regularly (issues with breastfeeding, neck mobility restriction that resulted in a flat head). I could see improvements with my health and with my daughter’s movements after each session. Highly recommend Iona."

Yulia Vylegzhanina

"Amazing service and experience for my newborn baby. Eglantine is extremely knowledgeable, health conscious and gentle, and I feel my little girl really benefited from her sessions. Will definitely be back!"

Ashley Racine

"Magic hands, I don’t know how it works but I love it! Eglantine is great, I wish I could go once a week"

Oliver Nice

"I have been going to Eglantine for a couple of years and she always fixes any issues with my body. I would highly recommend anyone to go to Eglantine."

Corey Cummins

"I went to see Eglantine after falling down some steps and badly injuring my back a few months before. I was not healing as I had hoped and couldn’t get back to exercise, and after multiple unhelpful trips to the doctor, I was in desperate need of a treatment. Eglantine was fantastic! She was very thorough, and took the time to find out exactly what was going on with the muscles in my back…"
