What Exactly is Pfilates??
Pfilates is a program of neuromuscular conditioning based on extensive EMG recordings taken from the pelvic floor. Pfilates was created by an American Urogynecologist to provide a method of home pelvic floor fitness training accessible to a broad population.
The Pfilates program is a simple program consisting of ten movements presented in the same order in three different phases (beginning, intermediate, and advanced). Each of the Pfilates movements includes a series of repetitions followed by a hold phase and a pulse phase at the point of peak engagement of the pelvic floor. As such these movements encourage the development of the three essential elements of neuromuscular performance: strength, endurance, and coordination.
Pfilates is intended to be preventative but also a therapeutic alternative for those already experiencing symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. For patients that have already had surgery, Pfilates can help protect the investment and reduce the chance for recurrent symptoms.
This class is a great pre and postnatal fitness option and can also work to help restore some cases of diastasis. Please check with your doctor as to whether a fitness program is appropriate for you.

Private sessions can be booked for $50 per hour.
You can come to the studio or I can go with you to your gym or home.
It is recommended that you see a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist or medical professional to understand the health of your pelvic floor if you are experiencing problems prior to beginning the program. This is beneficial for both of us so we know the best way to work with your circumstances. Please contact me for more information.
