Many expectant mothers become less physically active during pregnancy, usually due to pain, but in many situations, exercise is the solution to their pregnancy-related aches and pains.

  • Appropriately modify programming as the pregnancy progresses 
  • Target interventions to greatly reduce low back pain 

Long gone are the days of bed rest for all expecting mothers, you’ll uncover specific stabilizing and pelvic floor exercises that lead to significant improvements in overall outcomes: lower incidences of gestational diabetes, preterm birth and cesarean delivery, just to name a few.
