Why Choose Pilates After Pregnancy?
Your pregnancy journey doesn’t end with childbirth—your body’s healing and restoration are crucial to care for your baby. Postnatal Pilates addresses the physical changes, muscle imbalances, and new demands placed on your body after pregnancy. Our strong team of Pilates and Rehabilitation professionals is guided by Dr. Julia’s dual background in physical therapy and Pilates. Therefore, our postnatal sessions are safe, gentle, and highly effective for restoring function, confidence, and energy.
7 Key Benefits of Postnatal Pilates with our Experienced Team
Rebuilding Core Strength & Addressing Diastasis Recti
Due to changes during Pregnancy, core muscles weaken, and some women experience a separation of their abdominal “6 Pack” muscles (Diastasis Recti). Our postnatal Pilates program carefully rebuilds the core using evidence-based exercises to improve stability and function safely. With our method, we have prevented many patients from needing surgical intervention for Diastasis Recti.Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
Pelvic floor weakness or dysfunction is common post-delivery. Our pelvic rehab physical therapists utilize Pilates-based and hands-on therapy to restore pelvic floor health, addressing issues such as incontinence, prolapse, pain, and overall pelvic wellness.Healing from C-Section or Vaginal Delivery
Whether you had a C-section or vaginal birth, Physical Therapy can aid recovery with scar tissue mobilization, posture correction, stability and mobility work. Our Rehab Team tailors sessions to each mom’s unique recovery path.Relieving Back, Neck, and Shoulder Pain
Caring for a newborn often leads to back, neck, and shoulder aches. Through targeted exercises and manual therapy, your sessions with us will help relieve tension and restore alignment, allowing you to feel your best while caring for your baby.Improving Posture and Body Awareness
Motherhood can impact posture through countless hours of feeding, lifting, and carrying. Pilates reinforces healthy alignment, enhances body awareness, and reduces the risk of injury, allowing you to perform tasks more effectively.Boosting Energy, Mood & Confidence
Movement is medicine! Postnatal Pilates helps restore your connection to your own body, reduces stress, and supports emotional well-being, which is crucial for new mothers navigating sleep and life changes.Transitioning Back to Full Fitness—Safely
When you’re ready, our team will guide you from restorative Pilates to higher-level exercises and fitness challenges, ensuring a safe progression back to pre-pregnancy or even better activity levels.
