Women sometimes ask me if a hypopressive program will help them improve the tone of their pelvic floor.. They are often dealing with leaky bladder and other pelvic floor dysfunctions.
The answer is yes. You have the power to alter this. Mastering the hypo 2/3 times a week, with postural corrections, for 8 weeks has proven benefits. The consistency of the maneuver and live postural correction cues are key.
See the effects of a hypopressive program in this 2019 scientific study, based on an 8-week program of as little as two 20-minute guided sessions per week: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10107869/
The hypopressives learned in Low Pressure Fitness (LPF) regulate the tone of the diaphragm, deep abdominals and pelvic floor. 70 % of the muscle fibers in your pelvic floor are slow-twitch endurance fibers, intimately connected to our breathing. This type of muscle fiber needs a certain type of stimulation. The LPF method of slow breathing, postural correction & hypos engage these fibers, giving them the slow, deep, internal work that is needed. Vaginal and pelvic floor strengthening is a benefit to this practice as well as teaching you to better regulate your breath, the gateway to your coherence as well as enhanced ventilatory function.
The different postures of LPF sessions will get this inner system toned and create better lift and support. LPF promotes multi-directional eccentric engagement of the alba line, the divider of right and left abdominal halves, helping to improve the functional strength of a diastais by thickening the connective tissue (fascia) of the linea alba.
There are reasons to learn this technique that go beyond your sensuality, from strengthening the inner core, improving breath efficiency, to improving depression symptoms with this meditative breath and posture centered movement. One on one coaching will bringing you out of postures of collapse and dysfunction and offer you mental health benefits and self connection.
Sometimes we need to workout a little differently to benefit other vital systems in our bodies. Schedule a discovery session today (see above link at the very top) to learn how you may personally benefit from a one on one program.
