Evidence-informed hypopressives for prolapse symptoms, bladder leaks & core recovery

If pelvic floor exercises haven't improved your prolapse or bladder symptoms, you're not alone.

Many women I work with tell me they were beginning to lose hope before discovering hypopressives.

Whether you've been living with your symptoms for a few months or many years, there is another way to approach pelvic floor and core rehabilitation.

Hi, I'm Alice!

After developing a pelvic organ prolapse following the birth of my third baby, I spent almost two years searching for answers before discovering hypopressives.

 

Recovering from my own prolapse completely changed the direction of my career, and today I help women improve or eliminate prolapse symptoms, bladder leaks and core dysfunction through evidence-informed hypopressives.

Is your pelvic floor stopping you living life the way you'd like to?

Living with pelvic floor symptoms affects so much more than your body.

It can stop you exercising the way you used to, make you think twice about lifting your children, leave you quickly searching for the nearest toilet, or make you worry about what the future holds.

Whether your symptoms started after childbirth, developed during menopause or have gradually appeared over time, you deserve to feel confident in your body again.

"I don't think about my prolapse anymore, I'm symptom-free most days" ~ Natalie

You're far from alone.

Pelvic floor symptoms are incredibly common. Around half of women experience pelvic organ prolapse after childbirth, and one in three experience urinary incontinence.

If any of these sound familiar, you're in the right place.

✓ Prolapse heaviness or bulging

✓ Feeling like a tampon is falling out

✓ Bladder leaks when coughing, sneezing or exercising

✓ Needing to pee frequently or urgently

✓ Diastasis recti after pregnancy

✓ Difficulty opening your bowels

✓ Pelvic floor tension or pain

✓ Feeling nervous about exercise

When pelvic floor exercises alone haven't been enough, hypopressives offer an evidence-informed, non-surgical approach to pelvic floor and core rehabilitation

When pelvic floor exercises haven't been enough

If you've already tried pelvic floor exercises, searched endlessly online or been told to simply "live with it", it's understandable if you're feeling frustrated, overwhelmed or as though you're running out of options.

Many of the women I work with tell me they thought they'd tried everything before discovering hypopressives.

Over the past eight years, I've supported hundreds of women across the UK and internationally who wanted to avoid surgery, return to exercise, stop worrying about bladder leaks and feel confident in their bodies again.

About Create Lift

Watch Kegels vs Hypopressives on ultrasound scan:

The dark area in the centre is the bladder.

You'll see on the scan how much 
more the bladder lifts with a hypopressives apnoea breath compared to a Kegel. 

The average improvements in prolapse symptoms & quality of life reported by women with our Create Lift Programme® is 73%.

And women with leaking are reducing their symptoms or eliminating them completely.

ABOUT CREATE LIFT®

Every woman's journey is different, but many tell me they start in exactly the same place: worried, overwhelmed and unsure whether anything could really make a difference.

The aim of Create Lift® is to help you to reduce or eliminate your symptoms in everyday life, so you can live your life without constantly thinking about, or worrying about your pelvic floor.

Why choose Create Lift®?

Learning hypopressives is one thing. Knowing how to use them to improve your symptoms is something else entirely.

 

That's why I spend 4 years developing Create Lift® - a symptom improvement programme using hypopressives for women with prolapse and leaking symptoms, using a data-supported framework.

Create Lift® is designed for women who want a personalised approach. Combining private one-to-one coaching, our data-supported Create Lift® Framework and anytime support - every stage is tailored to your symptoms, your goals and your progress.

How Create Lift® works

Every woman starts in a different place, which is why Create Lift® is tailored to your symptoms, goals and progress. Our Create Lift Programme® is based on our data-supported framework where 140 women with prolapse got on average a 73% improvement in symptoms over 14 weeks.
