a great video explaining🫶🏻
So glad it was helpful ☺️
thankyou for this introduction. I heard about hypopressives during a NECTAR session with Carly Rae Beaudry. Had a search on here and came across your channel. I'm excited to try your videos!
Welcome - so lovely to have you here 💙
Hi Alice, thank you for this really helpful video series. Are these safe to do while using a pessary? Thanks ❤
Hi yes, fine to practice with a pessary!
this may be a dumb question but when breathing like this should it only be done when doing a type of exercise for this breathing? or should I start to breath like this when hiking, pilates, just living and breathing??? :)
Would this help me? I’m 15 months post hysterectomy and I feel my insides have dropped in my pelvic area which lols bigger and have developed a crease above my belly button. My core defiantly feels weaker.
Thank
Hello! Sorry to hear you've been having some issues following you operation. I'd highly recommend getting some individualised advice from a qualified hypopressives coach. Myself and my team work with women after hysterectomies. You're not alone and you should get some lovely improvements. Alice
I’m really struggling with the last bit of stretching the ribs but without breathing? I can’t seem to grasp it
Hi Hope - it can be tricky to get without personalised coaching. You want to make sure you are relaxing your tummy before you try and stretch your ribs towards your hands, but it can take a while to get the hang of! Alice
how do you expand the ribcage without inhaling ??
Tricky and can take a bit of practise / coaching - relaxing your belly before trying to do the rib stretch is essential!
Please explain how you stretch the ribs without breathing in? Whats the technique im getting so stuck lol
Lol - it can take a while to master - so do get in touch if you need help! Have a look at the video about how to do hypopressives in 3 simple steps - that will help explain the rib stretch 😊
Would you combine Hypopressives with the pelvic floor strengthening exercises in one day?
Hi Anna, do you mean Kegles alongside hypopressives? It really depends on the woman, her symptoms and what she has already tried for her pelvic floor. Most women we work with have already exhausted normal pelvic floor exercises training which is why they are coming to do the programme. For the Create Lift Programme, we monitor women's progress carefully which help to work out if hypopressives or hypopressives + something else is going to be most beneficial in terms of symptom management. Hope that helps, Alice
