Stay Active & Confident Throughout Pregnancy

‍As Vancouver kinesiologists specializing in movement with moms on staff, we have the experience leading expectant mothers through their pregnancy journeys.

Why Vancouver Mothers Choose a Prenatal Kinesiologist

Expert-Led Safety

Each one of your sessions at Symmetrix is accompanied by a university-educated kinesiologist with training in the science of prenatal exercise.

We understand the physiological changes from pre- to post-pregnancy and so all movements are modified accordingly. Your kinesiologist will maintain communication with your healthcare providers when appropriate.

Evidence-Based Pain & Discomfort Relief

Between navigating Downtown Vancouver's hills and managing uncomfortable sleep positions, and all the hormones, pregnancy creates unique physical demands. Our targeted approach addresses:

Lower back pain from changing posture
Hip, pelvic, and extremities discomfort from hormonal joint changes
Upper back tension from weight changes
Circulation changes, especially during our hot summers

Pelvic floor awareness and coordination training
Breathing techniques for pain management
Core and hip stability for pushing efficiency
Recovery-focused movement patterns for postpartum healing

Personalization to Your Lifestyle

Whether you're continuing your SeaWall runs in your first trimester or adapting to more gentle exercises further along, we meet you where you are. Your program adapts to your fitness background, pregnancy timeline, and personal preferences.
