The most common intervention format was an 8-week Pilates programme with two 50- to 60-minute sessions per week. Practical protocols suggest 50- to 60-minute Pilates sessions two to three times weekly for 8 to 12 weeks. Pilates is described as a low-impact mind-body exercise method focused on core stability, muscle control, breathing, strength, flexibility, and posture. Prenatal Pilates may activate deep stabilising muscles through lateral breathing and targeted core engagement. Clinicians should screen for absolute contraindications to exercise during pregnancy before patients start Pilates.
