Client Story
Amanda came to a workshop in East London in 2022 and has been really committed to her practice and comes to one to two live classes every week. She joined re-centre in September 2021.
Why did you join re-centre and what were the symptoms you were facing at the time? Can you talk a little bit about how your symptoms improved?
Rectocele prolapse, all pelvic organs feeling very low and uncomfortable post second child age 40. Regularly experienced bulging and discomfort especially when walking, etc. Symptoms improved somewhat after using Squeezy app (religiously for 6 months!) but I still felt the fundamental issue hasn't been resolved. Hypopressives helped significantly improve overall symptoms - I no longer experience the same level of discomfort and have much more confidence in how my pelvic floor feels generally.
How have your symptoms improved since joining re-centre?
I have noticed significant improvements and my symptoms are almost gone.
How did Hypopressives help alleviate your symptoms and what other changes have you noticed on a personal level, such as posture, waistline, mental health or other?
The feelings of heaviness / bulging in the pelvic floor are significantly better. I have experienced improvements in overall quality of life & my mental health from this too. I had a long episode of neck pain with a compressed nerve and the posture work also aided my recovery from this too.
Would you recommend re-centre to all mothers?
Yes
What advice and tips would you share with women who have just joined re-centre. What would you recommend they do as they start getting into the practice?
Baby steps! Take your time, do a little at a time and really work on getting the technique right. Don't be discouraged - it's not an overnight fix but well worth persevering.
What type of routine works best for you?
One or two live classes and a 10-15 min self-practice a couple of times a week. Sometimes additional 5 min practices (in the kitchen videos).
Did you have any doubts before you started? If so, what were they?
No - Simone and the practice came highly recommended by a mutual friend!
How were doubts alleviated? For instance, through the fundamentals session, a one-to-one chat with me or by doing the classes and immersing yourself in the practice.
The one-to-one at the start was really helpful and reassuring to get the technique, but I loved it all from the beginning and had no doubts that it would be beneficial.
