All our postnatal pilates classes are led by a highly qualified chartered physiotherapist.

Mums are often very keen to get back in to shape following the birth of their babies. However, rushing back or doing the wrong type of exercise risks injury to your joints, pelvic floor muscles and abdominals. In addition, the postnatal period involves much feeding, bathing, lifting and changing of your baby which places a lot of strain on your neck, back and upper body. Regular pilates during this time will help to strengthen your back and arm muscles, improving your core stability and posture, minimising the risk of strains and injury.

The weight of the baby during pregnancy and the effects of the hormones that soften your ligaments and muscles will have resulted in your pelvic floor muscles becoming weaker. Pilates focuses on exercising your pelvic floor muscles, thereby improving their strength and safeguarding you against incontinence and prolapses.

Postnatal pilates is safe, it can be started relatively early in the postnatal period and can accelerate your postnatal recovery.

Based at our luxurious private hospital in St John's Wood, London, we provide discreet services in a comfortable and clean environment.
