HYPOPRESSIVES TRAINING
Restore your corewith Michelle Burrows
Established in Europe in the 1980s, Hypopressives is a unique whole body training approach using breathing and postural techniques to create positive changes in the core, pelvic floor and posture.
Most pelvic floor and core exercises train conscious core control, however, hypopressives works differently by decreasing internal pressure in the abdominal and pelvic areas of the body therefore re-programming the core muscles to work again as they were designed to – without you having to think about it.
Diaphragmatic breathing also has a powerful effect on your nervous system and in addition to reducing stress and tension, can also reduce inflammation in the body leading to the easing of pain.
Due to the powerful changes in your core, hypopressives is as relevant for athletes looking to improve their inner strength as it is for postnatal Mums, menopausal ladies, gentlemen with prostate issues, those with back pain or individuals looking for postural realignment due to our everyday living.
Michelle Burrows
Michelle is one of only 8 senior UK Hypopressives trainers and she offers one-to-one sessions in addition to small group classes.
Having her own pelvic floor complications after childbirth added to a thoracic spine injury years previously, Michelle was inspired to become a trainer and enable others to reclaim their confidence by restoring their posture, core & pelvic floor and enjoy the freedom of getting back out there, loving exercise and having a full social life again!
‘Your symptoms needn’t stop you doing the things you love. It’s entirely possible to become the author of your own health and safely and naturally address the underlying cause, not simply treat the symptoms.’
Benefits include:
- Assistance in the prevention and treatment of incontinence and prolapse.
- Increases inner core strength and anaerobic capacity for sports performance.
- Improves posture (including the upper back ‘stoop’ so many of us have).
- Increases abdominal and pelvic floor muscle tone (average 58%).
- Reduces waist size and naturally flattens the abdominal wall (contrast to abdominal crunches that can dome the abdominal wall).
- Eases back pain due to the natural anti-infammatory effect of the breath work.
- Rasies metabolism and activates the sympathetic nervous system – leaving you energised, alert and ready to conquer the day.
- Strengthens the core deeply to better allow your body to withstand day to day HYPERpressive activities (e.g. sneezing, lifting an item, playing golf, running) without causing pelvic floor weakness.
Hypopressives can be taught either in person at the Get Inspired Studio or online from the comfort of your own home, with both methods proving to have very effective results.
