You've probably heard of hypopressive exercises, but you're not sure what they're for. The same goes for the Winner Flow: you might have heard its name, but you don't know exactly what it is or what it's used for.
Both hypopressive exercises and the Winner Flow aim to activate the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles to better control breathing and, in this way, provide numerous benefits to the body. Want to know how? Then keep reading!
What are hypopressive exercises?
Hypopressive exercises are a set of postural techniques whose goal is to cause a decrease in intra-abdominal pressure and an activation of the pelvic floor and abdominal muscles. They are very common in postpartum rehabilitation for pelvic floor recovery, as well as for abdominal diastasis; that is, the separation of the rectus abdominis muscles.
What are hypopressive exercises for?
Hypopressive exercises manage to reduce the pressure inside the abdomen to protect the organs located in that area and produce a reflex contraction of the pelvic floor muscles. Hypopressive exercises are used to:
- Increase pelvic floor tone.
- Strengthen the abdominal wall.
- Strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
- Reduce abdominal circumference.
- Decrease visceral descent and the risk of urinary incontinence.
- Improve and correct body posture.
- Increase flexibility.
- Reduce abdominal diastasis.
- Decrease back pain.
Winner Flow: what is it and how is it used?
The Winner Flow helps us perform deep and controlled breaths with the goal of activating and causing abdominal stimulation. It is an easy-to-use tool dedicated to working the pelvic floor and deep abdomen.
It is a blower or mouthpiece, similar to a whistle, that relies on deep and involuntary breathing for the activation of all the muscles. This is achieved by activating the transverse abdominal muscle and the pelvic floor muscles. Likewise, the Winner Flow regulates resistance with the help of a screw between the inner and outer part of the blower.
Winner Flow: what is it for?
The main goal of the Winner Flow is to retrain the abdomen so that it correctly manages intra-abdominal pressures and pressure on the pelvic floor in everyday life and unconsciously.
How to use the Winner Flow with hypopressive exercises?
The Winner Flow helps to activate more pelvic floor and abdominal muscles, helping to slow down the release of air, so that, in the exhalation phase, both the pelvic floor and the abdomen are activated much more.
This is why it is perfect to use while doing hypopressive exercises, since it limits the release of air and the abdomen has to work harder to get it out. Complementing hypopressive exercises with Winner Flow allows you to regulate breathing, master it, and stimulate it.
