Women’s Health Osteopath and Clinical Pilates Instructor, Rachel Natoli is now offering 1:1 clinical Pilates and Mums and Bubs Pilates at Maternal and Infant Wellbeing Melbourne.
Your program will be uniquely tailored to you! These exercises will focus on addressing the key postural changes occurring throughout pregnancy as well as help with labour preparation postures and positions. Postpartum clinical pilates involves a particular emphasis on pelvic floor and abdominal activation muscle retraining as well as rebuilding global strength and mobility. Whether you have had a vaginal or caesarean delivery, I want to guide and empower you on your recovery postpartum!
Benefits of clinical pilates during pregnancy and the postpartum period include:
Improves activation and endurance of pelvic floor and core muscles
Builds global strength and mobility
Improves balance and posture
Can help to relieve symptoms of pain and discomfort
Equips women with education and support
These exercises will require some equipment e.g. bands and weights but are also completely modifiable! You don’t need a reformer to do clinical pilates, but if you have one (YAY!). I will incorporate specific rehab exercises using whatever equipment you have available!
COST: $175 per private 45min session
