Pilates Plus was established in 2010, bringing you Pilates designed and instructed by qualified physiotherapists. Tess and Laura are the co-founders of Pilates Plus. Since 2009 the team has grown since then, and they are now a team of 10. They all share a passion for Pilates and are qualified physiotherapists and Pilates instructors.
Why Postnatal Pilates?
Our postnatal classes are designed specifically with mums in mind. Whether you are looking to get back into exercise or feel like you need some postnatal rehabilitation this is the class for you. You can begin classes as early as 6 weeks (post GP check). The classes will help your body adapt to the postural demands of having a baby, while at the same time you gain pelvic floor control and abdominal strength in a safe and graded environment. Physiotherapists have had additional expert training in postnatal rehabilitation (including diastasis recti separation, pelvic floor muscle control and pelvic girdle stability) and have designed the classes to focus on recovery from the demands of pregnancy and childbirth. They will help you regain your pre-pregnancy figure, and help you prepare for life with a little one.
Is Postnatal Pilates for me?
The aims of the class are to help you regain the strength of your core and pelvic floor from the initial postnatal stages to getting you ready/fit for exercise again. The exercises are progressive over 8-weeks, we can also adapt exercises for pre-existing complaints/conditions as well as modify and increase the difficulty for those with more experience, allowing for progressions in endurance, strength and stability. You can bring your baby along to the class. Small equipment will be used within the class, allowing the instructor to add variety to the class, and increase the difficulty of the exercises. You will receive a supplementary booklet with the class following the 8-week programme for exercises at home.
What can I expect?
The classes are mat based, varied and adapted to specific postnatal rehabilitation needs. We encourage postural and spinal alignment, deep abdominal and pelvic stability work in a variety of positions – standing, high kneeling and seated. A basic level of fitness is preferable. You will be closely monitored by our Pilates instructors, all of whom are physiotherapists. This allows them to tailor the exercises to your needs, and adjust any exercises which you are having difficulty with. Prior to commencing the class you will be asked to fill in a medical screening form (this is standard procedure for all participants).
What should I bring?
All equipment is provided. Dress as you would for a fitness class, we do the class in bare feet or socks. Bring a bottle of water to keep hydrated! Please bring a mat and some entertainment for your baby. Please note on your first class, we ask that you arrive at least 10 minutes early (or stay a few minutes behind at the end). This is to allow you enough time to discuss any issues with the instructor and also complete a quick assessment.
