At Exceed Health Hub, we believe that osteopathy and myotherapy are extremely beneficial and integral throughout pregnancy for pain reduction and labour preparation. Throughout the incredible journey that is pregnancy, the body undergoes enormous changes to accommodate a growing bub (or two!) and to prepare for delivery. Due to many reasons including posture changes, presentations such as back pain, sciatica, rib pain, pelvic girdle pain, pubic symphysis pain, insomnia, swelling, fatigue and high blood pressure can occur. Our osteopath’s understand these presentations well and are able to provide safe and effective care to facilitate a smooth pregnancy. From gentle hands-on treatment to home management strategies and advice, we can’t wait to be a part of your pregnancy journey.
Our experienced practitioner’s who would love to help with your pregnancy:
In an ideal world, the pain and discomfort experienced during pregnancy lessens dramatically directly after birth. Whilst this is the case for the lucky some, unfortunately this is not the reality for many new mothers. Whilst such a heavy focus is put on your new precious baby, it is important to practice self-care as a new mum and identify pain and discomfort. Pregnancy brings significant changes in how you carry yourself and your centre of gravity. This, coupled with holding and feeding your growing baby can result in a range of musculoskeletal presentations.
It is common for new mums to experience the following postpartum:
At Exceed Health Hub, our experienced osteopaths will work with you in a safe manner help relieve pain, improve mobility and posture and resolve any strains / sprains present. Further to this, we look to prevent any longer-term issues that may arise and aim to arm you with appropriate home management strategies to manage your new life with a baby.
Our experienced practitioner’s who would love to help you with life after birth:
At Exceed Health Hub, we are pleased to offer Clinical Pilates tailored specifically to expecting and new mums. Clinical Pilates is a great way to stay active during and after pregnancy. Benefits include strengthening your core, pelvic floor, upper body, legs and glutes. These are all important muscle groups that are needed during pregnancy, childbirth and then for life as a mum.
Despite how you feel, 30-45 minutes of exercise is recommended during pregnancy as it provides several health benefits including reduced musculoskeletal pain, improved mood and weight control. It can also reduce the risk of more serious pregnancy-related complications such as hypertension and pre-eclampsia. Through pregnancy and patient-specific exercises, your Clinical Pilates program will help prepare the body for childbirth whilst also keeping you moving throughout your pregnancy. As our Clinical Pilates services are individualised and heavily guided, all Pilates exercises assigned to our pregnant women are deemed safe during pregnancy. Our qualified Clinical Pilates instructors are able to modify any exercise that causes you pain or discomfort.
After bub has arrived and you’ve been given the “all clear” to return to exercise, our experienced instructors will guide you through a brand new personalised program aimed to assist you with the physical challenges of early motherhood.
Beyond the physical benefits associated with Clinical Pilates, our classes at Exceed Health Hub offer expecting and new mothers the opportunity to relax in a supportive and social environment, offering the chance for you to share your journey with other women going through similar life stages.
