Exploring the Role of Fascia in Pelvic Health with MoonRise Therapies

One crucial aspect of our approach is the consideration of fascia, a connective tissue that plays a significant role in supporting and maintaining pelvic health.

In this article, we will delve into how working with fascia can assist in improving pelvic health

Understanding Fascia and Its Role in Pelvic Health:

Fascia is a complex web of connective tissue that surrounds and permeates all muscles, bones, and organs in the body, including the pelvic region. It serves as a communication network, providing structural support and maintaining the integrity of the pelvic area.

When fascia becomes restricted or dysfunctional, it can contribute to various pelvic health issues, such as pelvic pain, incontinence, and discomfort.

Therapies for Pelvic Health:

Hypopressives:

What is it?

Hypopressive exercises are a specialized set of techniques that focus on reducing intra-abdominal pressure and strengthening the core and pelvic floor muscles.

The Core Principles of Hypopressives

Hypopressives are characterized by specific breathing techniques and postures that work in synergy to achieve their goals. The primary principles include a deep diaphragmatic breath followed by a forced exhalation with the glottis partially closed. This combination creates a vacuum effect within the abdominal cavity, drawing the diaphragm upward and engaging the deep abdominal muscles. Meanwhile, the body is held in specific postures that elongate the spine and activate the pelvic floor muscles. The result is a holistic strengthening of the entire core, from the diaphragm to the pelvic floor, without putting undue pressure on the lower back or the pelvic region.

Benefits of Hypopressives
Hypopressives offer a multitude of benefits, making them a valuable tool for individuals seeking to improve their pelvic health, posture, and overall well-being. Some of the key advantages include enhanced core strength, improved posture, reduced risk of pelvic organ prolapse, alleviation of lower back pain, and increased respiratory capacity. Additionally, Hypopressives have been used to address issues such as urinary incontinence and even aid in postpartum recovery. This gentle yet highly effective approach to core and pelvic health has captured the attention of both fitness enthusiasts and healthcare professionals alike, offering a promising avenue for achieving a stronger and more balanced body.

Block Therapy:

The Mechanics of Block Therapy

Block Therapy sessions involve the use of bamboo blocks that are strategically placed under specific parts of the body while you relax into the pressure. The sustained pressure and deep breathing techniques employed during Block Therapy encourage the fascia to release and realign. As this process unfolds, individuals often report sensations of warmth, relaxation, and a deep sense of release in the targeted areas. The therapy focuses on restoring optimal posture, improving circulation, and increasing oxygenation of the tissues, all of which contribute to pain reduction and enhanced physical function.

Benefits of Block Therapy

Block Therapy offers a myriad of benefits, making it an attractive option for those seeking relief from chronic pain, improved posture, and a greater sense of well-being. This practice can alleviate tension and discomfort in various parts of the body, including the neck, shoulders, back, hips, and pelvis. It is also known to enhance flexibility, increase energy levels, and promote relaxation, making it a versatile and accessible therapeutic option for individuals of all ages and fitness levels
