During pregnancy a hormone called relaxin is released in order to soften the joints and muscles/ tissues of the body in preparation for the birth of your baby. In some women, this softening becomes problematic causing pelvic joint pain or pelvic instability (PI). PI can be aggravated by inappropriate exercises such as high impact, bouncing, wide legged exercise or poor stretching exercises or technique. Fiona is careful to screen pregnant women for possible PI, and only instructs safe exercise. FunkyMamaAqua are particularly suitable for women with pelvic instability.
