Pregnancy Pilates

Pregnancy Pilates

During pregnancy your body changes inside and out.

Your ligaments loosen therefor your joints are more mobile and your muscles have to work harder and with the growth of the baby, your centre of gravity moves forward.

You will have to adapt your physical exercise to your stages of pregnancy.

Knowing what exercise to do when is important. Maintaining Some core strength is important to sustain a correct posture and not let your lower back muscles do all the work!

As you get closer to your due date, your pelvis has to give to guide the baby down the birth canal and the pelvic floor muscles have to allow a widening of the inferior pelvic bowl.

As a clinical Pilates instructor with my osteopathic knowledge, I take all this into account when accompanying you through your pregnancy.

Pilates also focuses on the breath during exercise. Breathing out on the effort and breathing in on relaxation. This is key to get optimal activation of your core during your exercises. Focusing on your breath will help you with labour for a more efficient delivery.

Pilates is a great way to keep you moving throughout your pregnancy and also to keep you fit and prepare you for birth.

"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."

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…"
