Personalised Support for Your Pregnancy & Recovery
Our private sessions are designed to give you undivided attention, with exercises tailored exactly to your stage, needs, and comfort level. Whether you’re preparing for birth or regaining strength after delivery, you’ll have a safe, supportive space to move and feel your best.
Prenatal 1:1 Pilates
During pregnancy, your body changes rapidly — hormones like oestrogen, progesterone, and relaxin soften pelvic ligaments, while the extra load on your spine and core can create tension or discomfort.
Your tailored session will:
Strengthen and support your core (abdominals, back, pelvic floor)
Improve posture and spinal alignment
Ease muscle tension
Maintain mobility safely
Postnatal 1:1 Pilates
Safe to begin:
6 weeks after a normal delivery
12 weeks after a C-section
(Always follow your consultant’s advice.)
Postnatal sessions focus on:
Restoring core and pelvic floor function
Supporting posture while lifting and caring for your baby
Rebuilding overall strength and mobility

Louise has an obvious passion for physiotherapy and pilates that’s well matched by her depth of knowledge and individualised treatment approach.
Love my visits here. I attend pre and post natal Pilates with Teresa and find the class so beneficial. I also attend Louise for physio and have made huge progress. Could not recommend more highly. Lovely staff, safe and hygienic premises, if you haven’t gone – go! 5 stars ⭐️
Just back from my first visit with Louise I can honestly say it was the best experience I have ever had from start to finish such a lovely lady I would highly recommend anyone to go visit. I will definitely be returning again thanks 👍
Just had my 2nd session with Carolina, she is so professional and the exercise programe given for in between sessions are excellent. Overall excellent experience.
I cannot recommend Louise O’Rourke & her staff enough, had a Physio session for TMJ this morn’, cannot believe the relief after 1 session. I also cannot stress how effective reformer classes are, my change in body mobility is like day & night, Carolina Pacheo & all the physios, thank you 👍
