Postnatal & Prenatal Pilates...
...Safe, tailored Pilates to support your body through pregnancy, recovery and life with your new baby..
Pregnancy is an amazing journey, and your body goes through a lot of physiological changes. This does not mean pregnancy is the time to give up exercise, however exercise needs to be adapted to keep you and your baby safe, and this is where pregnancy Pilates comes in! Having an active pregnancy is important for physical and mental well-being.
As an Osteopath I am familiar with pregnancy related issues, as well as having a deep understanding of the changes the body goes through to accommodate your growing baby. Whether your baby is born naturally or via caesarean, it is important to allow your body time to recover post birth. While there are some gentle and effective exercises that you can do straight after birth, I usually recommend 8 weeks before coming back to / starting Pilates.
Emily has in depth understanding of the recovery process as well as the physical demands of caring for a new-born.
Kibworth Osteopaths & Pilates is based in Tur Langton, within easy reach of nearby villages and towns including Market Harborough, Kibworth, Fleckney, Foxton, Great Bowden, Desborough, Corby, Kettering, Oadby, Wigston, Uppingham and Oakham.

During Pregnancy
Benefits of pregnancy Pilates for your changing body and growing baby
- Gently strengthens your tummy, hips and glutes to support your growing bump and lower back.
- Builds pelvic floor strength to help support your bladder and bowel, and reduce the risk of leaks.
- Improves posture and balance as your shape changes, easing common pregnancy aches and pains.
- Keeps your whole body moving, helping stiffness, circulation and general comfort.
- Focuses on breathing and relaxation to support you in late pregnancy and during labour.
- Supports a healthy, active pregnancy with safe, low-impact exercise.
After Pregnancy
Rebuilding strength, support and confidence after birth
- Helps your abdominals recover after 9 months of stretching and supports healing from diastasis recti.
- Strengthens your pelvic floor after birth, whether you had a vaginal delivery or caesarean.
- Supports faster post-natal recovery so you can return to everyday activities more comfortably.
- Builds strength in your back, hips and core to ease common post-pregnancy aches and pains.
- Gently stretches tight areas from feeding, lifting and carrying your baby.
- Prepares your body for returning to more intensive exercise when the time is right.
- Gives you protected “you time” to focus on your own health and wellbeing.
Emily is so attentive, kind, and genuinely cares. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.
