Prenatal Fitness

Safe, Strong, and Supported Moms to-be

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. Sometimes complimented by aquatic therapy, Symmetrix prenatal fitness kinesiology sessions in our tranquil Yaletown and Burnaby Heights studios are scientifically-backed, mom-led, trimester-appropriate movement therapy adapted for your changing body.

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

Birth Preparation & Recovery Optimization

Labour is a physically rigorous undertaking for many moms; confidence in your physical capacity is paramount in helping you feel prepared for the finish line. This miraculous endurance event requires strength, durability, mobility, and breath control – all physical skills that we help you train. Our prenatal sessions include:

  • 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.

Your Prenatal Kinesiology Journey

1. Prenatal Initial Assessment

Your journey begins with a holistic consultation about your health history, exercise experience, physical challenges, and birth preparation. Your assessment is a baseline to customize your program to your unique needs.

2. Personalized Movement Strategy

Based on your prenatal assessment, we'll develop a tailored plan to address your specific needs, build functional strength, enhance mobility, and evolve with your changing body throughout your pregnancy.

3. Expertly Guided Private Sessions

In our comfortable, climate controlled studio environment, each 60-minute prenatal session has instruction, hands-on guidance, and education. You’ll get feedback on technique, proper alignment, and your changing body mechanics. Most clients schedule weekly or bi-weekly throughout their pregnancy.

4. Continuous Support

Your support extends beyond our studio walls, you also have access to a digital exercise program, video demonstrations, and guidance on integrating movement into everyday life.

Beyond Birth: Postnatal Rehabilitation

Your wellness journey continues after delivery with our specialized postnatal services:

  • Diastasis Recti Recovery – Rehabilitation of abdominal separation
  • Pelvic Floor Restoration – Support and coordination with your pelvic health team
  • Postural Retraining – Strengthening for nursing and carrying
  • Progressive Return to Activity – Safe reentry to your regular exercise routine
  • Functional Parent Movement – Biomechanically sound techniques for baby care
