WHO ARE WE?
Hi, I'm Kiera. Founder of Hypopressives South West. A teacher, personal trainer and mum to a 6 year old boy and 2 year old little girl.
Having experienced pelvic floor dysfunction after the birth of my first child, I struggled to find the right support and options to suit me. At the time, I felt like I would not be able to be the active person I had always been and like I had been given a miserable life sentence. I am happy to say, this is not the case!
Hypopressives changed my life, I want to share the benefits with you and support you to maintain good pelvic health or heal your core and pelvic floor without having to go through the challenges I faced.
I work with people at all stages of life including pregnancy, postnatally and menopause. I am passionate about making your healing journey positive and fun so you can feel strong and amazing to do all the things you love without pelvic floor symptoms dragging you down.
I am happy to share my own personal experiences and success stories from people I have worked with of how Hypopressives has worked for me and others. Feel free to ask any questions during a free call!
WHAT ARE HYPOPRESSIVES?
Hypopressives are an exercise technique to strengthen your whole body, retrain your core muscles and create optimal function of the pelvic floor. Also known as "Low Pressure Fitness," they are a specialised exercise technique that focuses on strengthening the core muscles and pelvic floor while simultaneously reducing intra-abdominal pressure. Unlike traditional abdominal exercises that can increase pressure within the abdomen, Hypopressives aim to decrease this pressure. They're widely used in other parts of Europe for birth recovery, pelvic floor issues and to improve athlete performance but not so well known here in the UK. We are on a mission to change that!
Through a series of specific postures, breathing techniques, and controlled movements, Hypopressives encourage the activation of deep core muscles, including the transverse abdominis and pelvic floor muscles. This approach can:
-
improve posture
-
reduce back pain
-
enhance pelvic floor function
-
create a slimmer more toned waist
-
eliminate any leaking or prolapse symptoms (such as heaviness)
-
actively LIFT your pelvic floor and any prolapse
-
improve your core strength
-
stop you going to the toilet so often
-
eliminate constipation
-
improve posture and alignment of the body
-
improve your sex life!
On top of all of that, Hypopressives breathwork calms the nervous system, relaxes your body to help you feel calm.
Hypopressives are suitable for various fitness levels and can be tailored to individual needs. They are often used as a part of rehabilitation and strengthening programs for postpartum women, athletes, and individuals seeking to address core and pelvic floor issues.
Pelvic floor symptoms are common at all stages and ages (you're not alone!), but not normal - we shouldn't have to put up with them. Hypopressives can help you improve your quality of life.
