DO YOU WANT HELP?
Janis will assess you and teach you how to change the relationship between the way you breath and the pelvic floor muscles. To maintain it you Janis will teach you the exercises to do at home. The body is complex and changing one thing in isolation does not work. The body works as a whole. The muscles work together. Janis will look at the way you breath in relation to your diaphragm and how you engage your muscles (or not). Hypopressives will take all of this into account and Janis will give you a plan and a progress report.
Let Janis show you how to improve your bladder problems by attending a 1-1 session with her or by attending one of her workshops.
