Post natal Pilates is brilliant for new mums to target the toning of the abdominals and pelvic floor, preventing incontinence, increase speed in returning to fitness, reduce anxiety and depression, hasten recovery after delivery, muscle strengthening and improved confidence . Post natal Pilates is offered in the regular classes . Sadly babies are not welcome to group classes but are most welcome when a 121 is booked.

Most women can start postnatal Pilates at 6 weeks after a normal delivery, 12 weeks after a Caesarean Section (following your check up with your doctor.)

 

ANTENATAL PILATES is a safe and effective way to target the exact muscles that can be a problem during pregnancy and after birth. The benefits of Pilates in pregnancy include pelvic floor conditioning, improved posture, improved circulation, improved spinal and pelvic stability and control, maintain/improve tone and flexibility and relaxation. It also focuses on lower limb and upper limb strengthening which is so important with lifting and carrying your baby.  Antenatal Pilates can be offered as a 121 or following a pre assessment session, in group classes.

ONE TO ONE SESSIONS are for those with specific requirements, and one to one guidance is an excellent way to start Pilates. You may prefer to work on a one-to-one basis, with a friend or a small group of friends. The session format and the exercises given are tailored to suit your individual needs and objectives. At the end of the session a bespoke exercise program can be provided to practice at home. They allow for greater progression and development with close individual attention. These sessions may be on the mat, using small equipment or may be on the large pieces of Studio equipment such as the Reformer or MVe Chair.

We have experience in developing Pilates programs for a large variety of people with specific medical problems that can include those with Parkinsons, Multiple Sclerosis, Scoliosis, joint disease, Osteoporosis and those requiring post operative rehabilitation , and as well as those with complex spinal conditions.

 

PILATES FOR BONE HEALTH is for those with osteoporosis or osteopenia . The aim of the exercises is to reduce the further loss of bone mineral density, and improve balance, reducing the risk of falls. The sessions involve weight -bearing exercises in standing and on the mat.
