Phyio-led Prenatal & Postnatal Exercise Classes Canberra
Meet Millie & Nat…
We’re Millie and Natalie—Canberra-based physiotherapists, women’s health specialists, and mums. With five children between us, we understand the challenges of pregnancy and postpartum. Like many other women, we discovered that our pregnancy, birth, and recovery journeys weren’t as straight forward as we had imagined.
In 2014 we founded Bub & Me Physio with a clear vision: to provide mothers with access to expert-led exercise and education. We believe every mother deserves to feel informed, strong, and supported throughout the remarkable and challenging journey of motherhood.
Physio-led exercise and expert education for every stage of pregnancy, birth and postpartum.
Prenatal Aquatic Classes
Exercising in water is one of the safest forms of exercise during pregnancy. Water-based exercise is one of the safest and most effective ways to stay active during pregnancy. The buoyancy of the water supports your growing belly, minimizing impact on your pelvic joints and floor. Regular aquatic workouts help manage the physical changes of pregnancy, contribute to a shorter labor with fewer complications, and promote a quicker recovery postpartum.
Classes are run Wednesdays at 5pm and 6pm
Hartley Hydrotherapy, 13A Wynter Place, Hughes
Prenatal Strength Classes
To join a class you must first book an Initial Women’s Health Consultation with our Women’s Health Physiotherapist.
Our pregnancy strength classes are about far more than staying fit — they are a powerful way to support your body through the physical and hormonal changes of pregnancy, prepare for birth and lay the foundation for recovery. Physiotherapist-led classes help reduce back and pelvic pain, support pelvic floor function, improve strength and endurance for labour, and lower the risk of common pregnancy complications. Just as importantly, they build confidence, body awareness and safe strength habits that carry into the postnatal period.
All consultations and prenatal strength classes are held at Together Strong Physio, 25 Mustang Ave, Canberra Airport (Majura Park Shopping Precinct).
Postnatal Strength Class
To join a class you must first book an Initial Women’s Health Consultation with our Women’s Health Physiotherapist.
Postnatal exercise is about more than “getting your body back” — it’s about restoring strength, rebuilding confidence and supporting long-term health after pregnancy and birth. Physiotherapist-led postnatal exercise helps retrain the pelvic floor and deep abdominal muscles, improve bladder control, reduce back and pelvic pain, and safely guide your return to lifting, running or higher-impact activity. It also supports energy, mood and overall resilience during a physically and emotionally demanding stage of life. Most importantly, it provides a structured, progressive pathway back to strength — not just for early recovery, but as a foundation for ongoing health in the years ahead.
All consultations and postnatal strength classes are held at Together Strong Physio, 25 Mustang Ave, Canberra Airport (Majura Park Shopping Precinct).
With 25 years of combined experience we provide expert care, tailored exercises for each trimester and postpartum, and all the support you need to stay strong and confident on your motherhood journey.
