• Pain in your pelvic area

HYPOPRESSIVES IS PROVEN TO HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT ON BOTH THE TREATMENT AND PREVENTION OF INCONTINENCE.

Hypopressive abs consists of generating a hypopression in the abdominal cavity. Following a combination of postures and a special respiration (apnea), to elevate and activate the diaphragm as well as elevating the vagina, urethra, bladder, rectum and intestines.  If done correctly this also causes a contraction of the abdominal muscles and the pelvic floor.

FOR THE PREVENTION AND TREATMENT OF THE FOLLOWING:

• Bladder and Pelvic Floor Weakness
• Pelvic Prolapse
• Diastisis Recti  (A recent study carried out in the Quirón Hospital of A Coruña (Northern Spain) found an improvement of diastasis recti in a post-partum group after ten weeks of training).
• Overactive Bladder
• Weak Core
• Back Pain and disc problems
• Poor Posture
• Prostate Issues
• Breathing & Respiratory Problems
• Sexual Dysfunction

HOW WE CAN HELP YOU

With Hypopressives we can teach you how to change the relationship between breathing and the pelvic floor muscles and give you exercises to do at home to maintain it.  The body is complex and changing one thing in isolation does not work.  The body works as a whole, and the approach needs to take into account your breathing, the tone of your abdominal muscles, the abdominal pressure you use when coughing, sneezing etc, the tone of the fascia covering your abdominals, the strength of your back muscles and scapula musculature around the shoulders and the tightness or your diaphragm.  Hypopressives will take all of this into account and Janis or Martin will assess you when you decide to learn more about pelvic floor training or attend one of their workshops.

Even if you have seen your GP, Gynaecologist or Women’s Physiotherapist it is unlikely that they have mentioned hypopressives to you because they don’t know about it.
