STOTT PILATES® Prenatal Pilates on the Cadillac

Moms-to-be require special movement considerations and exercise modifications. The multi-dimensional Cadillac trapeze table helps bring this special population from traditional Matwork variations to appropriate exercise adaptations with push-thru bar, roll-down bar, arm and leg springs. Drawing on the latest medical information and ACOG guidelines, exercises keep anatomical and physiological changes, risk factors and movement considerations in mind. These workouts, developed by the Merrithew^® team, are concentrated on second trimester concerns with appropriate positioning and resistance components discussed.
