Term 6 Evening Class (Mixed Ability)
This is a mixed ability postpartum Pilates class led by Women's Health specialist physiotherapist, Sarah Fellows.
Sarah’s intention with this class is to create a safe and nurturing environment where you feel comfortable to share experiences and to learn how you can re-connect to your body and re-build the foundations to return to maximal strength.
Sarah will be using Pilates as a method to achieve this, but will go beyond this using functional strengthening and plyometrics to progressively increase load.

Do I need to be assessed before I start?
No, not necessarily.
If you’ve had complications during pregnancy and birth and you feel you’re struggling in the post-partum phase then an assessment would be helpful. Please contact us to book this.
Ongoing assessment in the group setting will take place. Sarah will check for diastasis rectus abdominis and pressure regulation in your first class.
Who is the class for? How long should I wait post natural birth/C-section?
Current evidence recommends introducing exercise earlier than we originally thought. Everyone will feel differently about when they can start exercising but if lochia has stopped and any perineal or c-section wounds are sufficiently healed then you are safe to start exercising.
Are babies allowed?
It would be great if you could have this 45 minutes just for you but if you are struggling for childcare then babies are of course welcome.
Who is the teacher and what are their qualifications?

Senior MSK & Pelvic Health Physiotherapist

What will I get out of it?
You will feel more confident in your body and you will build fundamental foundations for ongoing strengthening and higher loading (gym work / HIIT / return to sports etc.)
What do I need to wear/bring?
Clothes you can move in and that you feel comfortable.
