Healthy Mum, Little Smiles Program

Trying to fall pregnant but having difficulty?

Currently participating in an IVF program and can’t find a trainer who understands the process?

This program is focused on future mums who are trying to conceive children and are struggling to fall pregnant. Often potential mums will engage in rigorous exercise and many in conjunction with expensive IVF programs.

Although the research strongly supports exercise as part of this process, the problem we often see is that an over enthusiastic training regime has the capacity to actually prevent the IVF program from achieving its results.

AHSA is able to provide specialised guidance for this population and ensure a clinically appropriate balance of exercise, reflective of the hormonal fluctuations typically present during the typical fertility cycle.

Not sure how much fitness training is deemed safe in order to provide the highest opportunity to fall pregnant, without being counter productive?

Don’t want to risk spending thousands of dollars on IVF Treatment for it to be compromised by a trainer pushing too hard at the wrong times of the cycle? Allied Health Services Australia provides high quality Fitness Consultants that understand the journey you are taking towards creating your little bundle of joy!

Our consultants are dedicated, gentle in their approach and are educated with the latest evidence-based knowledge surrounding the area of exercise and fertility.
Don’t compromise your opportunity to bring a new life into this world, by either under or over training. Be professionally guided along the way by a Fitness Consultant and their supporting team of Allied Health clinicians.

Clinical Pilates – Core Strength & Pregnancy Programs

Core Strength for a Strong Spine

Clinical Pilates is a form of physical exercise that focuses on posture, core stability, balance, control, strength, flexibility, and breathing. The Pilates Method was developed by Joseph Pilates in the early 20th century in Germany. These days, Clinical Pilates is often used in conjunction with physiotherapy as a means of treating a variety of injuries, particularly those of the neck and back. This is based on literature that demonstrates strong evidence to support the use of therapeutic exercise in the management of patients with injuries, particularly low back pain.

Recent research advocates the retraining of the deep stabilising muscles for patients with low back pain. Clinical Pilates focuses on the retraining and recruitment of these stabilizing muscles (core stability) as well as improving posture, strength and flexibility.

Clinical Pilates and Pregnancy

Pregnancy brings many changes to your body which can create discomfort and alter your participation in work and daily tasks, physical activity and leisure. The hormone relaxin affects your muscles and joints, making them more flexible which in turn can increase your risk of injury. Normal weight gain during pregnancy is also a significant change for your body – not only is your weight increasing but most of this is obviously around the abdominal area, meaning your centre of gravity is now in a different position which can affect your balance and increase muscular demand. Your abdominal muscles will have to stretch considerably and some women may develop a diastasis, which is a separation of the abdominal muscles. Because of this stretch you will find that your abdominal muscles will not work as effectively.

Clinical Pilates during pregnancy

Clinical Pilates is easily able to be tailored to meet the changing demands of pregnancy. If you are not already participating, most women find it easier to commence during the second trimester when they are no longer feeling as tired and unwell. You will have a comprehensive assessment with your physiotherapist and a program will be developed which can be modified as your pregnancy progresses. We will also monitor you for any signs of a diastasis or other issues. Clinical Pilates can be performed all the way up to the birth of your baby. If you are experiencing any pregnancy related complications we suggest you discuss this with your physiotherapist and also your doctor or midwife.

Clinical Pilates after pregnancy

You can start gently working on your abdominal muscle and pelvic floor activation even while you are still in hospital. The hospital physiotherapist should visit you to discuss what you can do depending on your delivery – please speak to the midwives/nurses/doctors if you have not seen a physiotherapist before going home. Once you have received the all clear from your doctor at the 6 weeks postnatal check up, you can return to Clinical Pilates. An individual session will be required to give you the time and privacy to discuss your delivery and recovery and to check on your ability to perform your program. Once your Clinical Pilates instructor is confident you are sufficiently safe and well you can return to the supervised group setting, where your program can be modified and progressed as your body recovers. Babies who are not yet crawling or moving around are welcome to attend with you. Recovery will take some time so we encourage relaxed expectations regarding return to good abdominal muscle function, physical activity and body shape.
