Low Pressure Fitness (Hypopressive Maneuver):
Pamper your diaphragm with Hypos & Myo-fascial Stretching

  • LOW PRESSURE FITNESS AKA Hypopressives or abdominal vacuum- visceral deep abs- getting the deepest, innermost layers to lift/mobilize to optimal positions through a specific breathing maneuver that creates hypo pressure (upward vacuum), in different held postures. This is a system that manages the effects of intra-abdominal pressure in a way that helps reverse pressure-related problems. 

  • Very healthy for your diaphragm, as this important breathing muscle gets very tight, causing a host of dysfunctions. The hypopressive engages the diaphragm eccentrically (stretches it). 

  • The slow breathing helps improve heart rate variability (HRV) and improves C02 tolerance. This decreases stress, and helps you activate your parasympathetic nervous system (the system that cleans up and restores your body and mind.)

  • Great for reducing incontinence (leaky bladder), revitalizes a post-partum body by strengthening a diastasis (abdominal splitting), mobilization of abdominal scar tissue from any abdominal surgery, helps clear pelvic floor pressure/congestion issues, helps with prevention of hernias that are caused by poor intra-abdominal pressure management, hypertonic diaphragm (runners), aesthetically creating beautiful abdominal definition, and reestablishing your connection to your body’s inner-most layers of support. These also improve your posture and can decrease lower abdominal bloating
