Hypopressives are a series of exercises, postures and breathing techniques wrapped up neatly into a short, flowing routine that are really easy to fit in to your day. They really are core, pelvic floor and postural training for the 21st century. Who could benefit? Everybody can benefit from Hypopressives because they are all about retraining your core muscles to work as they were designed to. However, they can be particularly helpful to people in the following groups: Those suffering with pelvic floor disorder such as incontinence, sexual dysfunction or prolapse, or those wanting to prevent any of these from happening. If you are looking to strengthen your core, without causing unwanted and problematic pressure to your pelvic floor. Women wanting to prepare their bodies for pregnancy, or recover pelvic floor strength after giving birth. Anyone looking to decrease their waist size, improve posture, flatten your abdominals, improve circulation or improve athletic performance. Why are they different to most traditional core and pelvic floor exercise? The term ‘HYPOpressive’ refers to decrease or reduction in pressure, whereas most traditional exercises, including abdominal exercises are HYPERpressive – they increase internal pressure in our bodies. The thing about pressure though is that it will find your weakest spot. That’s why pressure caused from injury, too much training, or having a baby can lead to urinary incontinence, hernias and even pelvic organ prolapse.
