Pregnancy and post natal PT

Pregnancy

I really enjoy helping other mums on their very special pregnancy journey. Prenatal fitness is not only about getting ready for the birth of your baby, It’s also a time where your body goes through huge changes and when particular strain is placed on different areas. Through our one-to-one sessions, we will work on strengthening the muscles that are most needed to hold the growing weight of your baby and labour, and also get the body ready for the post natal journey. We will also look to release any overactive muscles to help you feel more balanced and ready to birth your baby.

Post Natal

This is such a special time in life and I love helping support and guide new mums on how to reconnect with their bodies post birth and ultimately get them back to the activity they loved doing pre pregnancy. My sessions are tailored to each individual and include re-educating the body through Breath Work, Core Activation, Pelvic Floor Engagement or Relaxation (depending on client) using a range of Pilates Techniques and Functional Training alongside Nutrition Advice for Healing.

A strong emphasis is placed on educating my clients about the many changes within the body during pregnancy and after birth. This is to help understand why we are doing each exercise to encourage purposeful training.

I specialise in the following:

  • Diasatsis Recti Rehabilitation

  • Pelvic floor + Core Fitness

  • Rehabilitating Minor POP (Prolapse)

  • Weakened / Hyper tonic Pelvic floor

  • Exercise for Back Pain

Depending on the results from our consultation you may be asked to see one of my recommended women’s health physiotherapists for a ‘Mummy MOT’ before we start our sessions together.
