Welcome
Welcome to Forest Flow Pilates & Physio, your dedicated space for nurturing body and mind. Specialising in physiotherapy-led ante-natal and post-natal Pilates classes, designed to support new mothers through gentle rehabilitation and effective technique.
Ante-Natal Pilates
Move with confidence and strength through every stage of pregnancy
Congratulations on Your Pregnancy!
I’m here to support you in feeling strong and confident through your exciting journey toward childbirth. Ante-natal Pilates classes are suitable from 12 weeks of pregnancy*. No prior experience is necessary. Classes are 45 mins long with herbal tea served after to allow time to connect with other mums to be.
*Unless advised otherwise by your healthcare provider.
Class Focus:
-
Connecting with your pelvic floor muscles
-
Maintaining and enhancing strength and alignment to support your growing bump
-
Gentle stretching and breathing techniques to leave your body feeling revitalised and nourished
Ante Natal Pilates can also:
-
Promote relaxation
-
Prepare you for labour
-
Alleviate back and pelvic girdle pain
-
Accelerate postnatal recovery
Post Natal Pilates Classes
Genlte movement, powerful recovery
Postnatal Pilates classes are appropriate from six weeks after childbirth, as long as you have received clearance from your GP to resume exercise. Allow me to guide you gently back to strength by reconnecting with your pelvic floor, breath, and body.
We encourage you to bring your baby along to these relaxed classes - feel free to take a break to feed or soothe your little one whenever needed.
We start with a 6 week Post-natal Foundation course to cover the essentials, then we progress to Post-natal Flow classes to continue to build your strength. Classes are 1 hour long with herbal tea served after to allow time to connect with other new mums.
