How can this class benefit me?
Initially developed as a non-surgical treatment for women with pelvic floor health issues, over time, this once specialized technique has evolved as an essential body health maintenance system.
Beneficial for:
General Heath and wellbeing
Lower back pain
Shoulder girdle pain
Pelvic floor dysfunction (including pelvic organ prolapse, urinary stress incontinence i.e. leaking when you cough/sneeze/jump/run etc.)
Post-partum recovery and Diastasis Recti
Slimming the waist line
Improving posture and respiration
Balancing the autonomic nervous system
What is Hypopressives/ LPF (Low Pressure Fitness)?
This is a complete movement system, a series of breathing and poses that is an alternative approach to traditional core training.
It is based around respiratory training focusing on lateral rib cage movement, specific poses, myofascial release and neurodynamics, restoring posture and enhancing myo-fascial mobility.
It uses posture and breath, to involuntarily and safely strengthen our deepest core stabilizing system, restoring function to the pelvic floor, abdominals, postural muscles and the diaphragm. (No Kegels, curl ups, hundreds or planks involved).
Hypopressives translates to ‘reduced pressure’. A hypopressive or abdominal ‘vacuum’ is used in this system to reduce pressure throughout the abdomen and pelvic girdle.
In addition to the benefits to the pelvic floor/core and surrounding muscles, this system can be used as a general body maintenance class for improved postural alignment, regulating and calming the nervous system due to the stimulation of the Vagus nerve and slimming the waist. Beneficial also to singers, dancers and athletes to enhance performance.
We learn how to train and balance our breathing, our muscles, and our connective tissue in order to better manage these day-to-day pressures to feel, move and perform at our absolute best
