Pregnancy Core Essentials
Feel Connected.
Move Safely.
Reduce Separation.
Your body undergoes some incredible changes during pregnancy. However, nothing changes quite as much as your core. As a physio-led program, we are passionate about helping you to keep your core strong and connected with pregnancy-safe exercises and workouts.
How does your Core Change during Pregnancy?
During pregnancy, your uterus will expand from 70g to up to 1kg. As your baby grows, your abdominal wall has to stretch and lengthen. The linea alba (a strong band of connective tissue) thins and widens, resulting in increased abdominal separation. Between 72%-100% of women will experience rectus diastasis in their third trimester. This is a normal part of pregnancy required to ensure your baby has space to grow. However, safe pregnancy core exercise can help reduce the degree and depth of separation you experience.
What is the EMP approach to Core Exercise in Pregnancy?
Maintaining a strong and connected core will help reduce your chances of experiencing long-term complications and abdominal separation. It is also incredibly important for your postnatal recovery. The Empowered Motherhood Program will help you keep your core feeling strong through every stage of your pregnancy.
