Safe, physiotherapist-led Pregnancy Pilates in Penrith
One-on-one sessions. Personalised programs. Expert pelvic health care.

You Deserve to Feel Good During Pregnancy

Pregnancy changes your body rapidly. Back pain. Pelvic discomfort. Poor sleep. Fatigue. Anxiety about what exercise is safe.

The right exercise program can make a huge difference.

Research shows that exercising during pregnancy can:

• Reduce back and pelvic pain
• Lower risk of gestational diabetes and high blood pressure
• Reduce rates of pre-eclampsia
• Support mental wellbeing
• Improve sleep and energy
• Decrease the likelihood of assisted delivery

But not all exercise is created equal.

Why Choose Pregnancy Pilates at Penrith Physiotherapy?

Our sessions are not generic gym sessions.

They are clinically guided, evidence-based and led one-on-one by a trained women’s health physiotherapist, Emily Standen or Sarah Brown.

That means you get:

• Exercises tailored to your trimester
• Pelvic floor guidance and education
• Modifications for pain or discomfort
• Individualised progression as your body changes
• Your physiotherapist’s full attention in a one-on-one session

Start With a Personalised Assessment

Your first session is a thorough assessment with one of our women’s health physiotherapists.

We assess:

• Your posture and movement
• Core and pelvic floor function
• Any pain or injury concerns
• Your goals for pregnancy and birth

From there, we design a program specific to you.

This ensures you feel confident, safe and supported from your very first session.

Benefits You Will Feel

Many of our mums say they notice:

• Less back and pelvic pain
• Improved posture as their bump grows
• Better awareness and control of their pelvic floor
• Increased confidence going into labour
• Smoother postnatal recovery
• A sense of being supported

This is about more than exercise.

It’s about feeling strong in your body during one of life’s biggest transitions.

Suitable for All Stages of Pregnancy

Whether you are:

• Early in your first trimester
• Managing discomfort in your second trimester
• Preparing for birth in your third trimester
• Returning to exercise after previous pregnancies

Our Pregnancy Pilates program can be tailored to you.

Even many high-risk pregnancies can safely take part under physiotherapy guidance.

If you are unsure, we can discuss your individual circumstances.
