Safe, Supportive Pilates in Wonersh, Guildford & the Surrey Hills
Pregnancy is a time of incredible change in the body. Pilates is one of the safest and most effective forms of exercise during pregnancy, helping to support both mother and baby through every stage.
Pilates is widely recommended during pregnancy because it supports the musculoskeletal system while remaining gentle and adaptable.
Pilates supports the baby indirectly by improving the health and wellbeing of the mother.
A healthy, supported mother creates the best environment for baby development.
Pregnancy causes important changes in the body. Pilates is specifically designed to support these changes safely.
As the baby grows, the pelvis tilts forward and the spine curve increases. This can cause lower back pain, tight hip flexors, shoulder tension and reduced core stability.
How Pilates helps: Restores balance by strengthening postural muscles and improving alignment.
The rib cage expands during pregnancy to allow space for the growing uterus and changes in breathing mechanics.
How Pilates helps: Teaches lateral breathing techniques that improve rib mobility, reduce tension and support relaxation.
The abdominal muscles stretch to accommodate the growing baby, which can lead to reduced core strength and stability.
How Pilates helps: Safely strengthens deep abdominal muscles without strain, supporting the spine and pelvis.
Changes in breast size and posture can place increased strain on the neck and shoulders.
How Pilates helps: Strengthens upper back and shoulder muscles, improving posture and reducing discomfort.
