HYPOPRESSIVES

Did you know that Core refers to the "most central, innermost, or essential part of something"? When it comes to your body, your core is a complex system that is responsible for Circulation, maintaining Continence, Digestion, Phonation, Posture, Support for Internal Organs (prevention of Pelvic Organ Prolapse or Hernias), Sexual function, Stability, and Respiration all while balancing and counterbalancing pressure changes from within.

​​​​

Its not hard to see why training your core should be a priority!

Hypopressive exercise was originally created by Marcel Caufriez as a breathing technique to be used in a clinical setting – a tool Therapists could use to help post-natal women prevent and/or recover from pelvic floor dysfunction (incontinence or prolapse)

​

Hypopressive training has evolved into a Low Pressure Fitness program that is being used by people of all genders and ages who are seeking to not only restore their pelvic health but to train the true function of their core. Traditional approaches to pelvic health and core exercise focus too much attention on one segment of the core at a time when the function of the core needs to rely on the synergy of deep muscles such as the Multifidus, Pelvic Floor, and Transverse Abdominals.

​

Hypopressives is a global postural and breathing technique that considers the functional tensegrity of the human body and address the true essence of the core to perform synergistically as intended.
