Jane Simons Physiotherapist - Fitness Centre

Pregnancy Health & Birth Preparation

E: jane@exercisejanesimons.com.au
W: http://www.pregnancyexercise.com.au

Show Info & Map

My thirty years providing pregnancy exercise classes has been a privilege, a joy, giving me keen insight into the pregnant women’s physical needs. With second generation daughters turning up at class with kind words of their own mum’s exercise experiences, our style of exercise has been very much influenced from years of physiotherapy as a delivery suite, support physiotherapist. Women generously shared their birth experience providing invaluable insight into the physical needs of motherhood and childbirth. This understanding is on-going in my new and proudest role, Annika and Oliver’s granny.

Our team of three, Melissa Chapman, Jo Willmott and I have an extensive obstetric background. Not only do we provide appropriate pregnancy exercise but as well are qualified and able to provide remedies for normal muscular-skeletal discomforts that can crop up with exercise.

Pregnancy heralds the most profound and wonderful change in any woman’s life as she becomes a mother. Our aim is to factor this in to our approach to exercise. We balance her needs with her unborn baby’s’ needs, modify our program to suit each woman and prepare her physically for her new role ahead.

Class needs to be attended on a drop in basis – pregnancy is unpredictable. As well we cater for working-women and busy mums. -  http://www.pregnancyexercise.com.au

Our exercises, influenced by various styles learned during our training, are based on an eclectic mix of basic physiotherapy, pilates, yoga, Feldenkrais and Tai Chi.
