Physio-led prenatal exercise class in Canberra

Prenatal strength classes

Our prenatal strength classes are designed to help women stay active, strong and confident throughout pregnancy. Led by a physiotherapist, these small-group sessions focus on building whole-body strength while supporting the pelvic floor, abdominal system and the physical changes that occur during pregnancy.

Exercises are modified to suit each stage of pregnancy, with an emphasis on safe strength training, mobility and preparing your body for the demands of labour, birth and early motherhood. Women receive individual guidance on technique and exercise modification.

Postnatal strength classes

Our postnatal strength classes support women as they recover from pregnancy and birth and return to exercise safely. Led by a physiotherapist, these small-group sessions focus on rebuilding strength, restoring confidence in movement and supporting long-term pelvic floor and abdominal function.

Classes incorporate progressive strength training and functional movement patterns to help with the physical demands of motherhood, including lifting, carrying and returning to the activities you enjoy.

A Women’s Health Physiotherapy Consultation is required prior to commencing a postnatal exercise class. We accept referrals from your pelvic health physiotherapist if you have already had a consultation.

Prenatal Aquatic Classes

Prenatal aquatic classes are the only Bub & Me program that can be attended without a prior physiotherapy consultation.

These classes are designed as a low-impact, pregnancy-safe entry point for women who want to stay active, manage discomfort, and move confidently during pregnancy in a supportive, physio-led environment.

Aquatic exercise is particularly suitable during pregnancy due to reduced joint loading, buoyancy support, and gentle resistance.

Who Can Join Prenatal Aquatic Classes

Women may attend prenatal aquatic classes without a consultation if they have an uncomplicated pregnancy, have been cleared for exercise by their GP or midwife. Women with pelvic pain, complex symptoms, or medical conditions are encouraged to book a physiotherapy consultation before joining.

Do I Need a Physiotherapy Consultation Before Joining?

We accept referrals from your pelvic health physiotherapist if you have already had a consultation. This consultation and the information gained from it helps guide the exercise you do during class and allows for safe progression over time.
