Exercise Class Terms and Conditions
General Information
All our classes are led by an experienced and qualified Pelvic Floor/Women's Health physiotherapist.
All classes are suitable for anyone looking for an exercise class with a 'pelvic floor safe' focus. This includes at any stage of pregnancy and from 6 weeks post-partum.
If you are not a current client, prior to attending any of our exercises classes you will be required to make an appointment to see one of our Physiotherapists for a 1:1 clinical assessment.
During this appointment we will use a variety of assessment techniques to establish your current level of pelvic floor and musculoskeletal function.
All assessment information, specific goals and any musculoskeletal or pelvic floor issues are made aware to instructors prior to class to ensure you are able to exercise safely and so that exercises can be targeted to your goals.
Classes can usually be modified so they are safe for you to attend even if you have pregnancy related back pain, pelvic girdle pain or any pelvic floor concerns.
Our pre and postnatal classes are small group mat-based classes incorporating physio-led exercises. A great class for women who want to strengthen their body with a pelvic floor safe focus. Particularly good to prepare for labour or to recover after birth.
Please inform the physiotherapist prior to class if you have a change in musculoskeletal function such as a new injury.
Payment
Classes must be pre-paid. Packs of 5 or 10 are available as well as casual visits.
You can use your pack across any of the classes in our timetable (online and in person).
You may choose to book as many weeks in advance as per the pack purchased or you can book as you go (Please be aware some classes fill up so it is advisable to book your spot in advance).
All class bookings can be made ONLINE (Select ‘East Keilor’ location.
Receipts for attendance and payment are emailed following each attendance for private health claiming.
If you have purchased a pack during pregnancy then go on to have your baby, you are able to carry the classes over for use after the birth of your baby.

Are there any special considerations for exercising during pregnancy?
Whilst exercise during pregnancy is generally shown to be very beneficial, there are some conditions which may make it unsuitable for you to exercise during pregnancy. You will be screened for these conditions during your 1:1 assessment. If you wish to find out more we suggest you view the American College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists guidelines for Physical Activity and Exercise During Pregnancy and the Postpartum Period.
