👑 3 COMMON MYTHS ABOUT TRAINING WHILE PREGNANT 👑

Some of the most repeated pregnancy fitness advice isn't actually true. Let's clear it up 🤍

MYTH 1: "Don't engage your core, it can injure the baby."

Your baby is protected by amniotic fluid, the uterine wall, and the abdominal muscles themselves. Gentle, well-guided core activation doesn't put the baby at risk. What matters is how the core is engaged, not whether it is engaged at all.

MYTH 2: "Do not rotate your spine."

Rotation isn't dangerous in itself. What changes during pregnancy is load, range, and control, so rotation is modified in intensity and setup, not removed altogether.

MYTH 3: "Just sleep on your left side."

Left side sleeping is often recommended for circulation in later pregnancy, but it is not a rigid rule for every stage or every body. Comfort and individual guidance matter more than a single fixed position.

Pregnancy fitness myths tend to come from caution without context. The real answer is rarely "never." It's "modified, and guided by someone who knows how."

This is always a complement to the care of your doctor or midwife, never a replacement for it 🤍

Save this and share it with someone navigating their own pregnancy 🤍

As promised: here’s how we actually treat it. ❤️
If you saw my last post, you know the research — the thoracolumbar fascia is thicker and stiffer in people with chronic low back pain. So the plan can’t be “more crunches.”
What the tissue actually responds to:
🌀 Spiral movements — fascia is organised in diagonals, not straight lines. Rotation and side-bending load it the way it’s built to be loaded.
⏱️ Sustained stretches — fascia needs time under tension. Think 60 to 120 seconds with slow breathing, not the 30 seconds we use for muscle.
🔗 Latissimus dorsi–lumbar fascia work — your lats insert directly into this fascia. Overhead arm work and side stretches reach a link most back programmes never touch.
Save this and try it ✨

Normal scan, persistent pain. That combination frustrates thousands of people every single day.

A 2026 meta-analysis published in Sports Medicine – Open, pooling 14 studies and over 1,000 participants, added a missing piece to this puzzle: the thoracolumbar fascia of people with low back pain is measurably thicker and stiffer than in people without pain. And the thicker it is, the higher the pain they report.

Why does this matter? Because this fascia is the primary contributor to static spinal stability (acting even before muscle contraction) and it carries three times more pain nerve endings than muscle tissue does.

Pilates has been working this tissue intuitively for decades. Today, science explains why. 🧠

⚠️ Important: this is cross-sectional data — we still don’t know whether the fascial change causes the pain or results from it. But it’s good enough to assess better.

This week I’m posting the exercises that target exactly this. Follow so you don’t miss it. 💙
