Exercise and Pregnancy

• Are you currently pregnant, needing safe guidance with your exercise?
• Are you longing to feel fit, toned & confident with your body following-pregnancy?
• Are you exercising post-pregnancy yet still feeling discomfort in your lower back, shoulders, hips or knees?

At Bodyrefine, pre-natal client care is our priority. We’ll therefore prescribe safe, effective, yet enjoyable exercise suited to the mother’s stage of pregnancy and the postural, as well as physiological changes, which occur.

Post-natally, our primary aim is to ensure your body functions correctly again, free of muscular discomfort and postural misalignments.

Efforts by many post-natal ladies to develop their ‘core strength’, flexibility or running stamina often result in injury due to the extensive muscular and postural alignment changes which pregnancy brings with it. Therefore, prior to resuming exercise, such misalignments and any tight, weak, or dormant muscles must be identified and effectively addressed using corrective strength and flexibility exercises.

As specialists in corrective exercise, we know the disadvantages that a ‘generic’ group exercise approach can have due to a significant variation in the posture, strength and flexibility of participants. This explains why classes such as Pilates can help some people yet hurt others.

At Bodyrefine, we always precede pre and post-natal personal training with a detailed, bespoke, biomechanical assessment. This helps identify misalignments and the resulting inability of muscles to activate and correctly align your body during exercise and normal daily activities such as walking.

Following selective, bespoke exercises to strengthen, stretch and re-balance your body we’ll then train you so you excel with your exercise and fitness, feeling happier once again with the shape and physical functioning of your ‘post-baby bump’ body!

Post natal-efforts to develop ‘core strength’, flexibility or running stamina, inevitably result in injury if postural misalignments and muscle imbalances aren’t initially identified and addressed.
