Core Trim Station Introduces Maternity Conditioning Program

Core Trim Station, a conditioning studio specializing in back pain, has launched a new initiative designed specifically for women experiencing back pain during and after pregnancy. Operated by Core Trim Corporation, a subsidiary of Japan Sigma Max Co., Ltd, this program aims to support mothers-to-be and new mothers facing physical challenges rooted in pregnancy.

Understanding the Impact of Back Pain

Research shows that many women struggle with back pain during pregnancy, which can hinder daily activities like household chores and childcare. It can also create anxiety related to returning to work or considering additional pregnancies. To address these concerns, the new program seeks to enhance women's well-being, allowing them to lead healthier lives as they navigate this pivotal period.

Core Trim Station's approach combines cutting-edge medical research with specialized conditioning techniques tailored to the unique challenges faced by pregnant and postpartum women. The decision to launch this program follows its evaluation as part of the Sports Agency's 'Sport in Life Promotion Project' for 2024, signifying its effectiveness and potential impact.

Overview of the Maternity Conditioning Program

Available at the Hiroo location, the Maternity Conditioning Program is structured to assist both expectant and new mothers. Trainers, well-versed in identifying the causes of back pain, guide participants through effective exercises and techniques that lessen the strain on the back, particularly during pregnancy and while caring for a newborn. The studio provides a comfortable environment with designated nursing spaces and baby areas, ensuring mothers can easily participate without needing to leave their infants behind.
