Many women experience persistent back pain after pregnancy, and yes—Pilates can be a powerful, natural solution to help relieve it. For mothers in Regents Park and nearby Queensland suburbs, dealing with physical discomfort after childbirth can feel isolating, exhausting, and frustrating. You’re not imagining it. You’re not alone. And most importantly, you don’t have to live with it.
At Get Better Physiotherapy, we understand how deeply back pain can impact your ability to care for your baby, return to work, or simply enjoy your day. Our studio offers clinical and reformer Pilates programs tailored specifically for postpartum recovery. Unlike general fitness programs, our classes are rooted in evidence-based physiotherapy principles to target the true source of pain—not just the symptoms.
Why Postpartum Back Pain Happens
During pregnancy, your body undergoes significant changes. Your abdominal muscles stretch, your posture shifts forward, and your pelvic floor and core stability are compromised. Add to that the strain of carrying, feeding, and lifting your newborn, and it’s no surprise that pain becomes a daily companion.
In particular, the lower back and sacroiliac joints often bear the brunt of these changes. Hormonal fluctuations can leave your ligaments more lax, while weakened muscles around the spine and pelvis struggle to compensate. These leads to muscle imbalances causing swelling around the joints and muscle tightness. This can lead to deep, nagging pain that worsens when you bend, lift, or sit for long periods.
How Pilates Targets the Root Cause
Unlike standard exercise routines, Pilates is designed to activate the deep stabilising muscles that support your spine, hips, and pelvis. Clinical Pilates, especially on the reformer, is gentle yet highly effective. It engages the transversus abdominis, pelvic floor, and gluteal muscles—the essential trio for postnatal strength and recovery.
When guided by a qualified physiotherapist, these workouts become a form of therapeutic movement. They’re not just for fitness—they’re part of your treatment plan. Reformer Pilates uses spring resistance to build strength without overloading the joints, making it ideal for postpartum women who are managing instability or recovering from pregnancy-related injury.
The Benefits You Can Expect
Many women in our Regents Park classes report relief from pain within the first few weeks. But Pilates offers much more than just symptom reduction. As you progress through your tailored training plan, you can expect to:
- Improve posture and spinal alignment to reduce daily strain
- Strengthen your core without crunches or risky movements
- Enhance flexibility and control, particularly in the hips and spine
- Regain pelvic floor function, reducing incontinence and discomfort
Over time, these benefits translate to more energy, more freedom of movement, and greater confidence in your own body again. Our Pilates studio is not just about getting “back into shape”—it’s about reclaiming control over your body.
What Makes Our Regents Park Studio Different
At Get Better Physiotherapy, we don’t do cookie-cutter treatment. Each woman who walks into our studio is given individual attention. We begin with a comprehensive 1-on-1 physiotherapy assessment to understand your back pain, your goals, and your history—including past injuries, birth experience, and fitness level.
From there, we design a customised Pilates program, whether that means 1:1 reformer sessions or small women-only classes in a supportive, private space. Unlike gyms or large group classes, our focus is on clinical precision, real outcomes, and your comfort.
The 3-Step Pilates Recovery System
Here’s how we help you move from pain to strength:
Step 1: Personalised Physiotherapy Assessment
This session identifies exactly what’s contributing to your back pain. We assess your pelvic floor, spinal alignment, and core engagement with real-time feedback and clinical testing.
Step 2: Individualised Pilates Program
We create a plan that fits your unique needs. Whether it’s reformer-based Pilates, mat work, or a hybrid model, each session is tailored, tracked, and adjusted as you progress.
Step 3: Ongoing Supervision & Results Tracking
Recovery isn’t a one-off. We monitor your progress, provide hands-on physiotherapy when needed, and update your training program to ensure sustainable results that last beyond your sessions.
Real Pain Relief Without the Guesswork
Generic exercise plans won’t fix structural issues. Many mums who come to us have already tried gym workouts, yoga classes, or online routines—only to find themselves stuck, or worse, injured again. The missing piece is a plan that actually understands what your post-baby body has been through.
That’s why our reformer Pilates sessions are led exclusively by trained physiotherapists. We know how to safely rebuild your core, restore pelvic floor strength, and treat back pain from its root cause. And we do it all from our welcoming Regents Park location, so you’re never too far from the care you need.
Our Commitment to Women’s Health
We believe that recovery is personal. That’s why we offer private treatment rooms, female practitioners, and women-only Pilates classes. Whether you’re two months postpartum or two years, you deserve support that adapts to your life, not the other way around.
We’re proud to serve the local community of Regents Park, Browns Plains, and surrounding QLD suburbs. Our clients come to us for pain relief, but they stay because they feel heard, supported, and empowered. Your pain is real. Your recovery should be too.
