Why Choose Physio-Led Pilates During and After Pregnancy?

If you’re pregnant or have recently given birth, you may be wondering: “What’s the safest way to exercise?” or “Where can I find classes that support both me and my baby?”

At Cathryn Clark Physiotherapy, we run specialist Physio-led Antenatal and Postnatal Pilates classes designed to meet the official exercise guidelines and help you feel confident in your body at every stage.

✅ Antenatal Pilates – Exercise During Pregnancy

Our antenatal Pilates classes are compliant with NHS and POGP guidance for safe exercise during pregnancy. They focus on:

• Core and pelvic floor strength – to support your changing body and prepare for labour

• Posture and alignment – to reduce back and pelvic pain

• Breathing techniques – to support relaxation and birth preparation

• Mobility and flexibility – keeping you moving comfortably as your pregnancy progresses

These classes are a safe way to achieve your 150 minutes of recommended weekly activity while being supported by a qualified physiotherapist.

✅ Postnatal Pilates – Exercise After Giving Birth

Our postnatal Pilates classes are gentle but progressive, helping you return to fitness in a safe and supportive environment. We focus on:

• Pelvic floor rehabilitation – crucial for bladder and core health

• Rebuilding strength – especially in your core, hips, and back

• Gradual progression – from gentle activation to more dynamic movements

• Confidence in movement – so you can return to the activities you love

💜 Why Choose Physio-Led?

Unlike general fitness or Pilates classes, our sessions are run by specialist physiotherapists trained in antenatal and postnatal Pilates. That means:

• Every class is safe and tailored to your stage of pregnancy or postpartum recovery

• Small groups for personalised attention

• Access to expert advice if you have concerns like pain, diastasis recti, or pelvic floor issues

• A welcoming, supportive space to connect with other mums
