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
