Antenatal Exercise Program
Antenatal exercise is widely recognized as a safe and effective intervention to support maternal health, optimise fetal growth, and improve the likelihood of a natural delivery when medically appropriate. Structured, supervised programs play a key role in enhancing physical preparedness and maternal confidence during pregnancy.
At Annapurna Physiotherapy – Evolve Fitness & Wellness, the antenatal exercise program is firmly grounded in the internationally accepted Lamaze protocol, a globally practiced, evidence-based approach to childbirth education and labor preparation.
At Annapurna Physiotherapy – Evolve Fitness & Wellness, the antenatal exercise program is offered exclusively after referral from a treating obstetrician or gynecologist, ensuring medical safety and individualised care.
