CLAIRE'S PILATES

You deserve to take time to care for your body and feel refreshed and healthy during this unique phase of transition.

Welcome to my Physio led Pilates class for Mums who are 2-12 months post natal.

Safe and effective exercises to support where you are in your post natal recovery, including postural correction, spinal mobility, abdominal strengthening, pelvic floor strengthening, and general fitness.

Classes limited to 12 so that I am able to effectively monitor, correct and adapt exercises for participants.

Babies are most welcome.

I am an experienced musculoskeletal physiotherapist, with many years experience having qualified in 2006. Throughout my career I have completed various courses with the Australian Physiotherapy & Pilates Institute (APPI) including Matwork Levels 1/2/3, Matwork exams, Ante and Post natal Pilates, Pilates for the Pelvic floor, Pilates for Menopause, and Healthy HIIT Cardio Pilates.

Please ensure you have had your 6-8 week check with your GP or midwife and have been cleared to exercise before attending.

If you have any particular post natal issues such as diastasis recti (abdominal muscle separation), pelvic floor dysfunction or prolapse, or pain in your lower back or pelvic region- please see a specialist Women's Health or Pelvic Health physiotherapist prior to attending.

Please bring a mat for yourself, water, something soft for your baby to lie on and any toys to keep them happy. You are welcome to feed, give snacks, change nappies, or stop at any point for their needs during the class. You are also welcome to bring someone along to help with baby if you wish.

Please wear clothing you are comfortable to exercise in that doesn't restrict movement. Pilates socks with grips are useful but not essential.

The class is held in St Francis Centre on St Francis Rd. There are steps to enter the studio but I will ensure a buggy friendly entrance at each class- instructions will be outside. You are welcome to bring your buggies into the studio and anything else you need, so if your baby is sleeping on the move, you can keep them close by.
There are toilets, baby change, and also access to a kitchen should you need this.
There is pay and display parking in the surrounding roads and on North St, or you can park in Aldi for free for 90 minutes.
I am a Mum, and want to make this easy for Mums. Anything I can do to help, always ask.
