How to start exercising during pregnancy


Watch highlights from the Pregnancy & Exercise Webinar with Alana Smith, and Amrita Pinto. Alana and Amrita provide guidelines to help you get back to exercising during pregnancy. They review F.I.T.T guidelines (Frequency, Intensity, Time, Type) and how they relate to exercising in pregnancy.

Alana is a caring and experienced physiotherapist who has a passion for pelvic health. She has completed several specialized courses in this area and has advanced training in treating diastasis recti, incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, overactive bladder, pelvic girdle pain, and much more. Alana has a special interest in working with and empowering women on their pregnancy journey, which is why she co-founded this program.

Amrita is a Chiropractor as well as an Active Release Techniques (ART)® and Medial Acupuncture Provider. Dr. Pinto has advanced training in perinatal chiropractic care & exercise for pregnant and postpartum women, and has adopted a unique approach for managing these populations, with an emphasis on research-informed & active care. Her own two, fit pregnancies and postpartum periods sparked an interest in pre and post partum care, and inspired the creation of Athlete Care’s Fit Pregnancy & Postpartum program.

Appointments with Amrita and Alana can be made at Athlete's Care in the Beach at 1971 Queen Street East. The Fit Pregnancy & Exercise Program is also available through a Virtual Care platform.
