For the Moms
-
Hormone fluctuation: relaxin loosens ligaments and readies the body for birth delivery, joints are less stable and at risk for injury.
Postural imbalances: develop as belly grows, uterus expands and pelvis compensates by moving anteriorly, abdominal muscles stretch, glutes and hamstrings lengthen and can weaken, pregnancy weight gain increases rounded back and shoulder, and forward head positioning.
Breath: baby takes up space, makes it harder to get a deep breath in or to exhale fully, back tightens to offset weight, necessary to focus on back and side expansion with breath during pregnancy.
Balance: with hormone changes and as body weight shifts center of gravity balance can be thrown off.
Only to name a few!

The goal of our “For the Moms” program during pregnancy is to take a proactive approach through ongoing musculoskeletal screening and check ins. We will provide trimester specific guidance and instruction related to modification of activities of daily living that can become difficult, provide safe modifications for exercise, and implement targeted therapeutic exercise programming to address muscle imbalances arising from postural changes and demands of child care.
We also hope this program helps to build overall self confidence and empowerment.

Membership: Includes musculoskeletal and pelvic health evaluation options, physical therapy, in studio pre/postnatal Pilates programming, push prep, access to our home program app and on demand video library, and so much more! Understanding the demands of being a new mom, we offer this program on a flexible, monthly basis. This means you can try 1 month, or you can keep up with the program through pregnancy and into your postpartum recovery. We are here to support you for as long as you need. We will pause your membership at any time for prescribed medical reasons and any unused prenatal sessions are carried over for use postpartum.
Signature Visits: These individualized sessions go beyond typical childbirth education classes to empower you with hands-on support and real time practice, these sessions are aimed to address specific pregnancy or postpartum concerns with a drop in session. Signature visits make great registry listings and gift options for new moms. Our membership offers more comprehensive and ongoing support.
If you decide to pursue the membership option after a single visit session, the cost of the single visit session will be deducted from the first month of membership.
