Understanding the Pelvic Floor and How the Pelvic Floor Chair Works
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder, bowel and, in women, the uterus. These muscles play a key role in continence, core stability and overall pelvic health. Over time, they can weaken due to factors such as pregnancy, childbirth, ageing, hormonal changes or reduced muscle engagement.
The Pelvic Floor Chair works by using focused electromagnetic energy to stimulate deep pelvic floor contractions. These contractions are far stronger than what most people can achieve through voluntary exercises alone, allowing the muscles to be activated, strengthened and retrained without physical effort.
Who this treatment is best suited for
The Pelvic Floor Chair is suitable for individuals experiencing bladder leakage, reduced pelvic strength, postnatal changes, or a general decline in pelvic stability. It can also be helpful for those who struggle to correctly engage their pelvic floor muscles through traditional exercises.
A common misconception
Many people believe pelvic floor weakness can always be corrected with Kegels alone. In reality, a large number of people are either unable to engage the correct muscles or unknowingly over-activate the wrong ones. Strengthening the pelvic floor effectively requires precision, consistency and correct muscle recruitment.
Why assessment and practitioner guidance matter
While the technology delivers the muscle contractions, it is the practitioner’s role to determine suitability, positioning, treatment progression and frequency. A considered approach ensures the muscles are supported safely and effectively, rather than overstimulated or incorrectly targeted.
Pelvic health is an important part of overall wellbeing, and understanding how the body works is the first step toward caring for it properly.
