Affordable and discreet digital therapeutic core and pelvic floor training

Wed, Mar 16, 2022

We all know the dreadful feeling of needing the bathroom suddenly to empty the bladder while having coffee with friends or while out shopping, and how humiliating and embarrassing it is to be caught short and leak urine. Imagine the awful feeling with an overwhelming urge to empty your bladder, or needing to cough or sneeze and not making it to the bathroom in time and leaking urine. Worse still is the fear of not being able to control stool or gas. New mothers (and some not so new mothers) up and down the country are dealing with these awful problems. Help is available to give yourself back your freedom without fear of bladder leaks.

Progressive pelvic floor muscle training is recommended as a first line treatment for incontinence (CG171 NICE Guideline 2016). Two thirds of women with any type of incontinence who have pelvic floor muscle training see improvements or cure, with 75 per cent of women reporting resolution of symptoms such as episodes of incontinence (National Institute of Research doi:10.33310/signal-000702). That is, two out of three women will be cured of incontinence with pelvic floor muscle training.
