About
A type of exercise routine designed to support two key systems in the body:
The Lymphatic System
Responsible for draining excess fluids, filtering waste, and supporting immune health. Unlike the circulatory system, it doesn’t have a pump like the heart, so it relies on movement, breath, and muscle contractions to keep lymph fluid moving.
The Pelvic Floor & Core Muscles
The deep stabilising muscles at the base of the pelvis and trunk that support the bladder, bowel, reproductive organs, spine, and posture. A strong and balanced pelvic floor also helps with continence, sexual function, and overall core stability.
What the workout usually includes:
Gentle, rhythmic movements (such as bouncing, rebounding, twisting, or dynamic stretching) to stimulate lymphatic flow and reduce fluid retention or swelling.
Breathing techniques (like diaphragmatic breathing) that create internal pressure changes to naturally "pump" lymph fluid and engage the deep core.
Pelvic floor activations (such as Kegels, reverse Kegels, or coordinated squeezes and releases) to improve strength and relaxation of these muscles.
Core exercises that emphasize stability and connection (e.g., bridges, modified planks, Pilates-inspired moves) rather than heavy straining, which could put pressure on the pelvic floor.
Gentle mobility and stretching to support circulation and reduce stiffness.
Benefits:
Encourages detoxification and reduced bloating/swelling
Supports recovery after pregnancy or surgery
Improves continence and pelvic floor function
Enhances posture, spinal support, and core stability
Boosts energy and overall well-being
