Pregnancy is a time of profound transformation—not only for your baby, but for your body, mind and emotions. While preparing for birth, it is equally essential to nurture maternal health. Recent research shows that clinical Pilates during pregnancy combined with prenatal education (CPE & PE) can significantly improve mental, physical and sexual health for women in pregnancy and postpartum.
At BPS Tensegrity, we’ve witnessed these benefits firsthand. With our physiotherapist-led prenatal programs and clinical Pilates classes tailored for expecting mothers, we help you move with confidence, manage discomfort and prepare both body and mind for motherhood.
Why Clinical Pilates at BPS Tensegrity Matters
Unlike generic fitness classes, our clinical Pilates for pregnancy is customised by physiotherapists who understand the unique changes your body undergoes while expecting. Every movement has purpose:
- Strength & Stability – Targeted exercises support your pelvic floor, spine and growing belly, giving you foundational strength.
- Pain Relief – Safe strategies to ease common challenges like low back pain, pelvic girdle pain and fatigue.
- Confidence & Control – Education about how your body is changing, how labour may proceed, and what recovery looks like builds a sense of control.
- Mental Well-being – Gentle, mindful movement paired with breathwork reduces stress and supports emotional health during pregnancy and postpartum.
The Science Behind It
A 2023 study followed 159 women, comparing those who practiced clinical Pilates and prenatal education with those who did not. The results were clear:
- Lower depression scores (improved mindset)
- Reduced low back pain (less discomfort)
- Improved muscle strength (stronger body for pregnancy & birth)
- Better sexual health scores (greater confidence and comfort)
- No adverse effects for mother or baby
These findings align with broader research showing that Pilates during pregnancy is a safe and effective method for improving sleep quality, reducing pain and enhancing maternal health outcomes.
At BPS Tensegrity, our prenatal clients move into motherhood with greater ease, balance and empowerment.
