What are Hypopressives?

Hypopressive exercises are a unique blend of posture and breathing techniques designed to reduce pressure in your abdominal and pelvic regions. These exercises offer a range of benefits, including:

 

  • Pelvic Floor Health: By lowering intra-abdominal pressure, these exercises help take pressure off the pelvic floor muscles, making them a great option for preventing, improving and rehabilitating pelvic floor dysfunction and organ prolapse.

     

  • Core Strength: These exercises gently activate your deep abdominal muscles, which indirectly helps support your overall core strength and stability.

     

  • Posture: Awareness of spinal alignment naturally improves your posture and will lead you to better overall body mechanics.

     

  • Stress Relief & Anxiety Reduction: The calming, rhythmic breathing used in hypopressives helps to soothe the nervous system, reducing stress and anxiety.

 

A key component of hypopressive exercises is the controlled apnoea, this is a breath-hold phase which helps amplify the changes in pressure that occur naturally throughout the breath cycle.

I have had issues with my pelvic floor since having children and perimenopause exacerbated the issue further. I had resigned myself to needing to wear a pad whenever doing activities like running, any form of exercise class and even for long walks. I decided to give Julie‘s Hypopressives course a go on the off chance that it might help a bit. After completing the course, I did notice an improvement but still wore pads for reassurance. Then, I went to a birthday party, where I danced  for the whole evening. At the end of the evening I realised I’d forgotten to wear a pad. Amazingly, my pelvic floor had held up and I hadn’t had any issue at all! I now have the confidence to do all forms of exercise pad free. The Hypopressives course has made a huge difference to me and I highly recommend Julie, and the course, to anyone wanting to strengthen their pelvic floor.  Julie is an incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate  and encouraging teacher. She creates a safe, inclusive environment and the exercises can easily be incorporated into your daily routine.
I think I have really benefited from the deep breathing. I find I am using it in different circumstances. I feel I have better control over both breathing and contracting my pelvic floor.  I like the freedom of using zoom and Julie was as efficient as ever in providing us with the links and the homework
I enjoyed Julie's new hypopressives online course which takes aspects of Pilates a bit further, focussing on breathing techniques to strengthen core muscles and the pelvic floor. I would definitely recommend it.
