Prenatal Pilates

6m 22s
The Pelvic floor is arguably the most talked about muscle group in pregnancy and childbirth. Here we learn about a technique called "The Knack". More than just a strong Kegel squeeze, the Knack can be incredibly effective in supporitng the pelvic floor during functional tasks or activities that cause you to be symptomatic (i.e leaking).
This short video clip discusses what the Knack is, how to begin using it and what results to expect.
This video is ideal at any stage of the postnatal journey, particularly if you find yourself experiencing signs or symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction.
If you're unsure whether youre doing the Knack or pelvic floor contractions correctly, or if you have any additional symptoms like pain or discomfort, incontinence or pelvic pressure while exercising please contact your LMC/Physio who can guide you further.
