The Power of the Belly Pump
The Belly Pump, an abbreviation for Core Breathing Belly Pump, by definition is “a rhythmic inhaling and exhaling that maintains activations of the Diaphgram, Trasversus Abdominis and Pelvic Floor to dynamically coordinate intra-abdominal pressure, so that the core may assist in stabilizing, accelerating, and decelerating any movement or exercise.” At Armonia Mama, we believe that every expecting and postpartum mom should implement this powerful tool into her daily life. Here are some of the benefits:
Helps to support and stabilize spine and pelvis throughout the changes of pregnancy and postpartum, decreasing the chance of low back and pelvic pain;
Helps to maintain a connection to the deep core muscles that gets stretched out with the growing baby;
Decrease the chance of an injury-based Diastasis Recti (abdominal separation), regulating correctly the IAP (intra-abdominal pressure);
Provides more stability and a faster healing process in the postpartum phase;
Diaphragmatic breathing helps the expecting woman to stay in a parasympathetic system, which decreases stress to her body and baby.
These are just some of the amazing benefits of this powerful and yet simple tool. Tap into a deeper connection with your body and mind, and enjoy your magical motherhood journey!
