Many conventional exercise methods operate on a HyPERpressive principle, elevating internal pressure as their primary mechanism. However, this heightened pressure tends to pinpoint vulnerabilities in the body. Consequently, issues such as urinary incontinence, hernias, and pelvic organ prolapse can emerge from factors like injuries, excessive training, or childbirth. Traditional exercises, relying on conscious muscle engagement, often fall short in addressing these concerns.
Contrastingly, HyPOpressive exercises aim to diminish internal pressure across the thoracic, abdominal, and pelvic regions. These exercises recondition the core muscles, crucial for managing pressure both consciously and subconsciously. They enhance the resting tone and involuntary function of these muscles, allowing the core, including the pelvic floor, to naturally resume its intended functionality—operating seamlessly without conscious effort.
The core's unique design enables it to function subconsciously, ensuring effectiveness not only during exercise but also in everyday activities. Whether sprinting for a bus or swiftly lifting a fallen child, the core needs to activate automatically without conscious thought.
While HyPOpressive exercises can be easily learned with the right guidance, it's crucial to find a qualified instructor to avoid potential mistakes in execution.
