Exercises for pregnant women are very important for the following reasons: 

[to maintain muscular tone, joint flexibility and cardiovascular fitness

[to prevent incontinence (weak bladder control)

[to prevent or minimise back pain

[to provide additional muscle support for the heavier breasts and for the growing abdomen

[to prepare your body for the demands of motherhood

[to help regain your figure quickly after giving birth.

It is very important to learn relaxation techniques to assist you in having a stress-free pregnancy and childbirth. Childbirth is painful, but even more so when you are stressed. We encourage pregnant women to attend regular relaxation sessions at our Centre. Along with the relaxation exercises, you will be taught correct breathing techniques to assist you through the different stages of labour.

post natal exercises

Helping the new mother to regain her muscular strength and joint mobility, this is a gentle return to exercise. Classes have been structured with great consideration to the new mother who has had sleepless nights, and has to cope with the demands of a new baby. 

The Osteopathic Health Centre runs ante-natal exercise classes when a group of 4 or more participants can attend regularly.
