It is NOT normal. You don’t have to live with back ache and a weak core, because no one helped you heal your abdominal separation. You don’t have to accept that it is totally normal to wee yourself whenever you sneeze, cough, laugh, jump or run. I’m here to tell you it doesn’t have to be this way. And I know it doesn’t have to be this way, because I have helped people of all ages and birth experiences change their “normal”. Pelvic floor dysfunction is COMMON. But it shouldn’t be normal. And it is about time that you were told that you don’t have to live with it anymore. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511440608-5BVMHVN4WR2I9YQV1WWR/Aro+Ha_0010+1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511743693-J3A8OYH6X8C7RXNU5K0J/20140301_Trade+151_0124+1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ec321c2af33de48734cc929/1618511467879-K5J9BYNACHJVDV3BNSFU/Aro+Ha_0387+1.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/bcdadffb-233e-4328-ac47-c24199131d5a/Kirsty+%26+co-54.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/1cea51df-09bd-4393-b03a-57460be6cbd5/Kirsty+%26+co-25.jpg Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/bcc8f960-9f05-4dae-bdad-d8cf0c94f29c/Kirsty+%26+co-36.jpg Home https://www.kirstyvictoria.co.uk/about daily 0.75 2022-11-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/1634146039339-BI948X3LEUEHAZCP4FDL/Kirsty+%26+co-63.jpg About - I’m Kirsty, a Pelvic Floor Health Practitioner, and I specialise in working with people just like you to say goodbye to the sneeze-wee for good!

Hypopressives are a low impact, breath lead programme that work by reducing the intra-abdominal pressure in the body, and effectively resetting your pelvic floor to work reflexively (as it did before pelvic floor dysfunction was an issue). What is pelvic floor dysfunction? Pelvic floor dysfunction includes: a lack of bladder control and leaking urine or poop (incontinence); and symptoms like a dull ache in the vagina, feeling like you’re wearing a tampon when you aren’t, a heavy dragging feeling in your lower back or abdomen, or seeing/feeling tissue fall down and/or appear outside of your body, which are a sign that one or more of the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus and/or bowel) has fallen below the pelvic floor (pelvic organ prolapse) abdominal separation (Diastasis Recti) pelvic pain and low back pain Why are they so good? Hypopressives are incredibly effective at reducing pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and incontinence. But they also assist in pelvic and core restoration, healing Diastasis Recti, and waistline recovery by virtue of the training the “core canister” goes through. Hypopressives are also used post prostatectomy surgery, and to relieve pain experienced in prostate cancer. How quickly will I see a benefit with Hypopressive coaching? It varies from person to person, but most people who are being coached in Hypopressives begin to see relief in their pelvic dysfunction symptoms in the first four weeks. Do you need to be qualified to teach them? In a nutshell, yes. My certification is with the International Hypopressives Council, and I am a Fully Certified International Hypopressives Council Trainer. It is imperative that you are only taught Hypopressives by a certified Trainer. https://www.kirstyvictoria.co.uk/contact-me daily 0.75 2023-06-28 https://www.kirstyvictoria.co.uk/privacy-cookies-policy daily 0.75 2023-02-06 https://www.kirstyvictoria.co.uk/postureassessment daily 0.75 2023-04-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/1637165206316-4GWAIZF1ED11VIQ9IPXY/shutterstock_1715919484.jpg Posture, Breathing & Pelvic Floor Assessments - Your posture has a direct impact on you in more ways than you think.

We focus on glute release, foot release, hands and ribs. Click here to buy the massage balls I recommend (as they come in three sizes suitable for the release work). You can do the release work with spiky massage balls, but they are a bit more intense!!!
