Perfectly personalised Pilates plans only from Perfect Bounce

BY SMITI JAIN NARAYAN

So you’re in the family way. Or have just achieved mom-hood. But as any woman who has been there, done that, knows – pregnancy and delivery take a huge toll on the body. That’s why Bangalore’s leading physiotherapy clinic Perfect Bounce, now brings you tailormade Pilates plans to strengthen your body for the delivery, and get back in shape after.

Core strengthening is the most important aspect in pre-natal and post-natal fitness goals. In the pregnancy stage the focus is on overall body maintenance with low intensity exercises, as well as prepping the body for the strenuous task ahead. In the postdelivery stage, the aim is to restore the fatigued and strained muscles and organs back to optimum health, nudging them gently into shape and rebuild the strength from within.

The pre- and post-natal Pilates programs at Perfect Bounce are a body-muscle exercise engagement in a relaxed style, customised to individuals taking into account their health history and their earlier

exercise routines. It prepares the body optimally to handle the stresses of this period, without jerky movements or overly intense exercising regimens. And the best part is that it can be done anywhere – in the Perfect Bounce clinic or in the comfort of your own home, or a combination of online and offline sessions.

There are some simple Pilates equipment like Pilates rings and medicine balls which are also available at Perfect Bounce which can greatly help, though even without the equipment there are many stretches and exercises that can be easily followed by anyone with minimal instructions. The Pilates physiotherapy exercises are commonly recommended to pregnant and post-partum women as part of the natal care plans in USA and other western countries. Group classes are also conducted in second and third trimesters. In India it is still in its nascent stage, so it is important to take up Pilates only under expert guidance and supervision.

At Perfect Bounce, a complete body assessment is done at first, and individual body modifications, weight loss and gain, any pre-existing conditions are all taken cognizance of, before a Pilates plan is personalised and prescribed. The response is tremendous and the body heals in a controlled and sustained fashion.

Dr Richa Singh has always been at the forefront of innovative ideas and concepts to help people in niche segments of physiotherapy, and this is yet another need of the hour which she has addressed for pre- and post-natal women at their most vulnerable stages and help them spring back to strength and health – with these perfectly packaged personalised Pilates to suit urban lifestyles.
