RESTORE YOUR PELVIC HEALTH and wellbeing
ARE YOUR SYMPTOMS RULING YOUR LIFE?
Are you missing out on the joys of life, from intimacy to exercising and socialising?
Does your prolapse and incontinence stop you from running, jumping and going on long walks?
Do you worry where the nearest toilet is and wish you could ditch the pads asap?
Fed up of feeling like you can’t do anything through fear of making your symptoms worse?
There is an answer…
HYPOPRESSIVES IS THE POSTURE AND BREATHWORK PRACTICE THAT’S GIVING WOMEN THEIR LIVES BACK
For more than 40 years this low-pressure exercise technique has been helping women restore their pelvic floor, core and supporting muscles. It was developed to help post-natal women reduce incontinence, prolapse, tension and diastasis recti, but it can also help prepare the body before pregnancy and relieve many other symptoms. It calms the nervous system, reduces the waistline and improves athletic performance.
Hypopressives practice is based around breath training, postures, myofascial stretching and neurodynamics. The breathing technique encourages the diaphragm and pelvic floor to not only contract and lift, but also lengthen and release. It trains the body’s muscle chains to function together. The breath hold and rib expansion, known as the apnea breath, cause a suction effect in the abdominal and pelvic areas, lifting the pelvic organs and creating an involuntary contraction of the pelvic floor and supporting muscles. The resulting improved postural alignment and stimulated vagus nerve have a huge impact on pelvic health, as well as encouraging a calm, meditative state.

HYPOPRESSIVES CHANGED MY LIFE
I’m Lucy, the founder of Bristol Hypopressives. I came across the practice after I’d tried every other trick in the book to improve my incontinence and rectocele prolapse. My symptoms began after giving birth to my children, but a lifetime of poor posture and bad breathing habits had also played their part. I could no longer walk without leaking, I couldn’t run after the kids, I’d dread going out through fear of pooing myself, and every cough and sneeze would be a brutal reminder of how much my pelvic health had changed. I was desperate for a natural solution, but medication and surgery seemed like the only options left until I found hypopressives.
I did a 12-week programme and then developed my own self-practice, and my symptoms started improving in ways I could never have imagined before. My rectocele prolapse, which is notoriously hard to improve, has been kept at bay, and my incontinence has reduced to the point where I can go for runs or dance around with my kids - a place I never thought I’d get to.
There’s no reason we shouldn’t be able to enjoy these things after giving birth. If, like me, you’ve been living with life-changing symptoms like these, don’t lose any more time trying other methods. I’ve done that for you, and I’m excited to help more and more people reclaim their pelvic floor. Hypopressives is the one!
