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/terms-conditions daily 0.75 2021-11-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/1d059a12-05a8-4ea1-b080-7964a1e9f323/IMG_5134.jpg Terms & Conditions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/6b5198db-9dc5-47be-b384-470a94c14d44/IMG_5135.jpg Terms & Conditions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/d84986b2-935f-4781-b839-4cc4eadd5383/IMG_5136.jpg Terms & Conditions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/f0b92d71-8bd2-47a6-aaf2-8b47c87d1076/IMG_5137.jpg Terms & Conditions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/13d264b2-e615-41ec-951c-4e63f6a64e7c/IMG_5138.jpg Terms & Conditions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.kirstyvictoria.co.uk/website-tou daily 0.75 2021-11-17 https://www.kirstyvictoria.co.uk/corporate daily 0.75 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/1675559289381-UY7WY1D63WJVML7ETQMX/GettyImages-1300343664.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/1675558330982-HE56YOI91ZDYIFRH0UZS/GettyImages-1360428328.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/1674164125126-MFIET9E377R1H3ZYQF8B/unsplash-image-NFvdKIhxYlU.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/1674164315059-6RO4NVADI53QPG4D708O/GettyImages-1141464027.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/1674164661313-BFYDLYO1WD292UTOOIMW/GettyImages-1135346386.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/1674165568152-LUD8KYAWF2K8ZXO37VVI/unsplash-image-T8S8nWophts.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/1674165811867-9CIZ67DB00C99W79EVUG/unsplash-image-t5YUoHW6zRo.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/2c70cfc7-08df-4eef-a67f-be23236f235e/shutterstock_1803989872.jpg https://www.kirstyvictoria.co.uk/menopausemasteryhome daily 0.75 2025-02-16 https://www.kirstyvictoria.co.uk/restoreyourfloorhome-1 daily 0.75 2025-02-16 https://www.kirstyvictoria.co.uk/before-you-start-runproof-1-1 daily 0.75 2025-02-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/1641741836624-Z0MM742RQPA06G3GTXOD/unsplash-image-Xruf17OrkwM.jpg Before You Start Run-Proof Your Pelvic Floor (Copy) (Copy) - Health Questionnaire Prior to beginning the programme, you must complete this questionnaire. If you have any questions or concerns, contact me directly and we will talk them through! I will check to see that you have completed this questionnaire - if you fail to complete it, I will restrict your access to the programme until you have completed the form. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6127fedbd831495ab6eee913/5aa99821-083f-46b1-904d-0dd82debac00/shutterstock_1945521175.jpg Before You Start Run-Proof Your Pelvic Floor (Copy) (Copy) - Warm up & equipment We will always start the sessions with some warm up and release work - if you can get yourself a set of massage balls (if you don’t already have any), it will be useful for your progression and releasing tension. 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!!!
