WILL LIFTING AND CARRYING MAKE MY PROLAPSE WORSE?

The simple answer is……. IT DEPENDS!

Lifting and carrying can be thought to worsen pelvic organ prolapse by increasing intra abdominal pressure BUT if your system manages pressure effectively then this can mean less strain on the pelvic floor and the core. 

How you manage pressure can be affected by……

➡️ How you breathe

➡️ Your posture

➡️ The strength and tone of your muscles

➡️ The function and coordination of the diaphragm and core (including pelvic floor)

I always check how well clients manage pressure before starting hypopressives with them- this can be a really good indicator of how well the practice is working after 6 months, a year and so on. 

If when you cough your belly rises and falls then this shows your core isn't managing pressure as effectively as it could be. If your perineum pushes out this suggest the same for your pelvic floor. An abdomen and pf that engages and draws in reflexively shows the core and pf compliance is good and the pressure is absorbed. 

So how can you improve the compliance of your core and pelvic floor to manage intra-abdominal pressure? 

Hypopressives of course! 

This practice helps us manage pressure in a few different ways......

➡️ By changing the pressure in the system: we do this during lateral breathing by spreading the pressure of the breath around that whole canister and by decreasing pressure when doing the apnea

➡️ By improving the compliance of the core muscles through the postures and apnea 

➡️ By decreasing pressure through optimal postural alignment- pressure into the core and lower back decrease

➡️ Through myofascial stretching encourage in the poses and when breathing helping to decompress muscles and fascia. 

➡️ By increasing the strength and tone helping keep the body upright and in alignment

To get all of these benefits it's best to commit to a daily practice mixing loaded and unloaded postures. 

The best way to do this is through a live programme that adds in load gradually and where a coach gives feedback on your form and breathing.
