Is it safe to start clinical exercise during pregnancy?

Under the guidance of a trained pregnancy physiotherapist, and provided all is going well, you can participate in our pregnancy exercise classes right up until the big day.

No matter your background or history with exercise, it is safe to start clinical exercises any time before, during or after your pregnancy. The benefit of joining a clinical exercise class at Graceville Physio is that you’ll have an exercise program tailored to your needs. Both prenatal and postnatal clinical exercise is widely recognised and approved as a very beneficial form of pregnancy exercise.

Any previous pain or injury you may be experiencing can be treated by a qualified physio who works in tandem with your GP and obstetrician, giving you the full support you need.

Your body will change with each trimester and having a pregnancy physio by your side throughout the entire process is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your child.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it OK to do pilates while pregnant?

Yep! Pilates is a great low-impact work out for while you're pregnant. It promotes flexibility, balance, and can help with back pain by strengthening your core to support your spine.

Is pilates or yoga better for pregnancy?

Both are good, but we would recommend pilates as it's more targeted at the muscles in your abdominal and pelvic floor. Our pilates classes are also created by trained physiotherapists who know exactly what exercises are best for you during this time.
