Breath, Posture & the Pelvic Floor
Presented by Turi Hetherington
Did you know 50% of women experience some degree of incontinence and/or pelvic organ prolapse?
If you're in this group (or want to prevent being in it), join us to learn about Low Pressure Fitness, a research-backed hypopressive training system that helps you regain control of your pelvic floor, strengthen your core, and so much more!
Low Pressure Fitness (LPF) is a series of breathing and postural exercises that safely strengthen your deepest core muscles. These are the muscles that create the foundation for upright posture and joint stability. They also help you control normal bodily processes and function of our bladder, bowels and sexual health. Oftentimes, these inner muscles can be affected from an injury, surgery, pregnancy, illness or sedentary lifestyle.
LPF exercises turn on these muscles by reducing the pressure through your thoracic, abdominal and pelvic cavities. It's a whole body routine administered in a specific sequence, with postural cues and a unique breathing pattern called hypopressives. This change in pressure along with maintaining the postures are key to the effectiveness of LPF exercises.
Join us to learn the more about this innovative practice and how you can integrate it into your daily routine to
Tone & strengthen deep core & pelvic floor muscles
Improve urinary incontinence problems
Reduce the effects of organ prolapse
Posture & respiratory re-education
Enhance sports performance
Decrease abdominal girth
Enhance sexual activity
Reduce back pain, and more!
