Hypopressives Technique - Low Pressure Fitness Explained
Вставка

- Becky Keller is a leader in Low Pressure Fitness/Hypopressive technique space. I had a great chat with her and continue to love and practice hypopressives every day!
Low Pressure Fitness/Hypopressives is a comprehensive movement system that targets the core and pelvic floor muscles (coordinating and toning the muscles), restores posture and myo-fascial mobility and helps to improve breathing by focusing on diaphragm and lateral rib cage movement and position. A hypopressive or abdominal vacuum is often used while performing the technical poses and movements within Low Pressure Fitness creating reduced pressure throughout the abdomen and pelvic girdle.
Hypopressives have been used in certain yoga practices for hundreds of years. During the 1980’s in Europe, Dr. Marcel Caufriez started researching the use of hypopressives for women to help improve pelvic floor dysfunction such as pelvic organ prolapse. By 2006, Dr. Tamara Rial and Dr. Piti Pinsach continued to expand on the research of Dr. Caufriez, developing a comprehensive workout, exercise and postural system built on the hypopressive techniques, and in 2014, Low Pressure Fitness was created. The goal was to create a whole body workout and routine easily accessible for the general public to help improve pelvic floor dysfunction and combat some of the negative effects traditional popular sports can cause. How come you haven’t heard of this yet? It started in Spain and quickly spread to Latin American countries. So if you You Tube LPF, many examples are in Spanish. In Spain it has become the preferred method of training postpartum moms. It is beginning to take root in North America, first in Canada and more recently in the US. With increased awareness, the prevalence of Pelvic Floor dysfunction (according to the NIH, 1in 3 women experience some form of pelvic floor dysfunction), and education availability more practitioners including Pelvic Health Physical Therapists are incorporating the techniques into their treatment plans. To become Low Pressure Fitness certified you need to complete all 3 levels of training as well as take a competency exam.
Hypopressives means reduced pressure. So let’s take an example of a crunch or sit up, when we perform these we are actually creating a HYPER-pressive environment in our core, increasing pressure that will effect our deep core structures and eventually that pressure over time can exacerbate already weakened structures. Pressure working toward the abdominal wall can create an abdominal hernia, pressure heading backwards toward the spine can cause increased disc pressure contributing to a herniated disc and finally pressure that travels through the pelvis can cause pelvic organ prolapse or pressure on the bladder causing urinary dysfunction or incontinence. Hyper-pressive situations occur all day long as we move, lift our children, pick up things and even go #2. With hypopressives, we reduce the pressure while improving spinal alignment to better adapt our bodies to handle daily pressures as we function.

I just started training with an LPF coach to improve my core and pelvic health. I am also a bodybuilder and so is my LPF coach. This video was so amazing. I feel so much more knowledgeable about the training I am doing which is opposite from the pelvic floor training I had been doing that focused more on diaphragmatic breathing and pelvic lengthening. Thank you for sharing this knowledge.
amazing!!
What an awesome informative interview! I have been doing Hypropressives for about 6 months. I went from 138lbs to 117lbs. Sooo excited to see my transformation. Had a hysterectomy in 2002 and a bladder lift ..it was dragging down the sidewalk😝. Over the years and menopause my bladder decided it was time to skip on the sidewalk, but this time I took it into my hands and started doing these exercises. WOW! They absolutely work! And my cookie is no longer crumbling 😅. Also after being married for 32 years our sex life is better than ever! Ty ladies for your educated time❣️💋
amazing!
Did you have a teacher in person who specializes in hypopressives? I'm wondering if it's possible to learn on your own - at home... I sure wish I had someone in person who is passionate about teaching people like me.
@@lynne3989 I teach the technique in my buff muff membership
@@lynne3989 you can do anything if you have the passion and discipline. ❣️💋
Thank you for this video
Most clients are super tight in their rib cage so how can you get the apnea if they aren’t very body aware.
Thank you, Kim and Becky! FINALLY, I think I've found what I've been looking for! This session was very informative. Kim, do you know of anyone in the Hamilton area who teaches Hypopressives and or Low Pressure Fitness? I'm very interested in learning more and incorporating these techniques into my life.
I don't but you can look at the hypopressives canada website :-)
Does the USA have a website?!
Really interesting. Thank you!
Thanx a lot it helped lors n lots
Thank you so much Kim and Becky. That was amazing. I learned so much from listening to this conversation between the two of you - as both a pelvic floor owner and health practitioner. I came to this wanting to learn more about pelvic floor health, but I can see so many other benefits to learning and practicing this technique for both men and women. Pelvic floor, bladder, posture, gut-brain health, vagus nerve/stress management, pain management and so much more. Becky, can you recommend anyone in Australia for referrals?
So glad you enjoyed it! You can check out lowpressurefitness.com for a list of trainers.
@@vaginacoach This website is in Spanish. How can I find a trainer around the Chicago area in USA?!
@@lynne3989 check out lowpressurefitness.com or try google
Great podcast. Can this help with intersicial Cystis ?
it may help manage symptoms
Thanks!
I am excited to learn more about this technique and wondering if it may help relieve my abdomino-phrenic dyssynergia. I would love a referral to a pelvic floor PT around Portland, OR as I have been suffering for over 6 years. Thanks in advance! Excellent video.
let me now how you make out! I would google pelvic floor portland and see who comes up.
I'm curious how this would work for someone who's had a radical cystectomy (full removal of the bladder) with creation of an orthotopic neobladder. I'm sure these techniques would be beneficial for general strengthening, and for me specifically in dealing with previous prolapse issues...but curious about the added complexity of recovering from RC surgery which, I'm guessing, removes some of the nerve routes to the bladder she's talking about here? Do you think it would help address hyper-continence if one doesn't have a natural bladder?
there could still be benefit for you!
Do you teach men too and what issues can it assist?
I personally don't work with men but yes men can do this too....great for posture and digestion and fascia.
Can a stage 3 uterine/bladder prolapse respond to hypopressives and be symptom free eventually?
yes it is possible to improve it and possibly reverse your symptoms. Hypopressives and buff muff exercises and pelvic floor physical therapy
