Frequently Asked Questions
The pelvic floor muscles support the pelvic floor organs and control continence. However, natural body aging, childbirth, and menopause can cause this group of muscles to decondition, resulting in continence problems such as leaking urine when coughing or sneezing.
The Pelvic Floor Trainer uses High Intensity Focused ElectroMagnetic Energy (HIFEM) to stimulate and strengthen all the pelvic floor muscles, not just the subset that can be exercised with voluntary contractions (Kegel exercises). These stronger pelvic floor muscles restore continence and the confidence to enjoy normal daily activities without fear of losing bladder control.
During each 28-minute session, you sit comfortably on the Pelvic Floor Trainer chair while it generates thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions. Each session is equivalent to doing 11,000 pelvic floor exercises, but without the hard work!
The procedure is non-invasive, and you remain fully clothed throughout. No drugs are required, and the most you will feel is a slight tingling during the treatment. With no recovery time needed, you can leave immediately after each session and resume your normal daily activities.
The Pelvic Floor Trainer repairs and tightens the pelvic floor, helping men and women to regain bladder control. Strengthened pelvic floor muscles improve women's sexual satisfaction and their ability to achieve orgasm.
Your exact treatment plan will be tailored to your needs. For optimum results, most people need a course of six sessions, with two sessions per week over a period of three weeks. Most clients start seeing and feeling results after just two or three treatment sessions.
In extreme cases, further sessions are required, but otherwise, a maintenance session every three to twelve months is enough.
Most people see and feel results after just two or three treatment sessions. Mild signs and sensations may be noticeable after your first session, but it will take several sessions before you begin to observe the full effect on your symptoms.
Men can also suffer from incontinence and pelvic floor weakness. Pelvic surgeries such as prostatectomy or bladder surgery, in particular, can cause incontinence or erectile dysfunction. Incontinence in Men typically present with a small amount of dribbling during workouts or at the end of the day.
Chronic cough or high impact work or pursuits can put pressure on the bladder and lead to stress incontinence. The Pelvic Floor Trainer is less likely to be successful if incontinence follows pelvic radiation treatment for cancer.
Some men suffer from urge incontinence-a need to urinate frequently or dribble when the bladder is full-The Pelvic Floor Trainer can help improve symptoms.
Treatment with The Pelvic Floor Trainer can lead to increased sensitivity during sexual intercourse and possibly offer relief from erectile dysfunction.
How long the effects of your treatment last depend on the severity of your symptoms at the start. Most people will notice a positive effect on their symptoms for up to one year.
