FITMUMS Physio | Physiotherapy, Exercise Classes & Clinical Pilates for Women

FITMUMS Physio understands the importance of staying active and maintaining overall well-being during and after pregnancy. Their team of dedicated professionals is driven to empower women with the knowledge and tools to navigate this transformative period in their lives.

For expectant mothers, FITMUMS Physio offers prenatal exercise classes that are carefully supervised by a Women's Health Physiotherapist. These classes not only focus on the mother's health but also prioritise the well-being of her unborn baby. Regular exercise during pregnancy has been shown to reduce the risk of medical complications, such as gestational diabetes and high blood pressure, while also preparing the body for a smoother delivery. If you're unsure about exercising during pregnancy, they suggest consulting with trusted medical professionals.

Once the little one arrives, FITMUMS Physio recommends waiting until the 6-week postpartum review before resuming more intense exercise. However, they encourage new mums to engage in gentle walks and pelvic floor exercises starting as early as day 2 post-birth. These early activities help kickstart the recovery process and promote overall health.

FITMUMS Physio offers two types of small group exercise classes tailored to the specific needs of both prenatal and postnatal stages. With the guidance of a Women's Health Physiotherapist, participants can exercise with confidence, knowing that their well-being and safety are being prioritised. In addition, members gain access to comprehensive step-by-step guides and ongoing support that help them learn how to properly care for their bodies during pregnancy, as well as effectively recover post-baby. Plus, babies are welcome to join in on the classes, fostering a supportive and inclusive environment.

Beyond exercise classes, FITMUMS Physio offers a range of specialised care for conditions unique to women. Pelvic girdle pain, a common issue affecting about 20% of pregnant women, is just one example. The physiotherapists at FITMUMS Physio are experienced in diagnosing and creating tailored management plans for this discomfort, ensuring expectant mothers can navigate their pregnancy journey with ease.

Aside from the valuable physiotherapy services, joining FITMUMS Physio also means becoming part of a strong and supportive community of like-minded mums in the local Melbourne area. This community provides a network of support and understanding, creating an invaluable sense of camaraderie during the pivotal prenatal and postnatal stages of motherhood.

So, if you're a mum-to-be or a new mum looking to prioritise your health and well-being, FITMUMS Physio is the place to be. With their expert knowledge, comprehensive care, and uplifting community, you'll find the support and guidance you need to thrive during this incredible journey.
