Hypopressives for
Mens Health

There’s a common misconception that only women need worry about their pelvic health.

In fact, one in four men over the age of 40 will experience some sort of bladder control issues and a recent study found that 38% of elite male athletes experience urinary incontinence.

Core and pelvic floor muscle dysfunctions, brought about by abdominal surgery, overload from strenuous activity or unsuitable training regimes are the primary causes. Other factors such as IBS, constipation and respiratory problems can also contribute to strain on the core system, which frequently shows up as;

      • Abdominal wall/inguinal hernias
      • Altered breathing & lack of aerobic endurance
      • Back/pelvic/groin pain
      • Digestive Issues
      • Frequent/urgent/involuntary urination
      • Sexual dysfunction

In many cases Hypopressive exercise with simple tweaks to lifestyle, can prevent, improve or get rid of these symptoms.

By stimulating reflex activation of the endurance muscle fibres which make up 75-80% of our core, Hypopressive exercise restores the balance, coordination and function of the pelvic floor and core system as a whole.
