Prenatal Pilates
During pregnancy, the body undergoes many physiological changes. The organs shift, your joints experience change, the posture changes and pressure is placed on the pelvic floor muscles. Birth itself is a process that requires a great amount of physical effort. In order to maintain health and physical fitness, it is recommended to choose an individualized form of movement that takes into account the stages of pregnancy.
What is Pilates?
It is a form of exercise that helps to restore correct postural alignment, release tension and develop suppleness, strength and stability. The exercises comprise controlled movements and positions that help you develop strong core muscles in the pelvic floor, abdomen and lower back. There is also a focus on deep rhythmic breathing techniques, which enhance concentration and promote a sense of well-being. Although it may sound complicated, it´s really just about strengthening the muscles you use to perform everyday actions, such as sitting down, opening a door or picking up a grocery bag. If your muscles and posture are inadequate, then you may injure yourself or experience musculo-skeletal pain.
