Hypopressive exercise classes in the center of Madrid
We tell you that the word “Hypopressive®” was created by Dr. Marcel Caufriez in the 80s, it comes from the French “Hypo”, which means “less” and “presivo” (“pressure”). They are low-impact exercises to improve the abdominal girdle as an alternative to traditional abdominals that, when performed incorrectly, generate more pressure in the pelvic area and this leads to pathologies such as prolapses and incontinence. This was observed by Dr. Caufriez in women in the postpartum stage.
Men can also practice hypopressive exercises, as they are based on improving postural function and balance, treating cases of idiopathic scoliosis, sciatica, low back pain, and cervical pain. In short, it is a therapeutic training.
