Can pelvic floor training help with incontinence?

Yes, a weak pelvic floor is often responsible for urinary incontinence, especially when laughing, coughing or sneezing. Targeted, regular training of the pelvic floor muscles is considered the most important therapy for incontinence.

In many cases, training can improve bladder control and reduce incontinence.

An effective option is pelvic floor physiotherapy: patients learn how to reduce strain on their pelvic floor in daily life, for example by lifting and carrying correctly.

In addition, specific exercises are performed to strengthen, relax and increase awareness of the pelvic floor muscles. Training aids such as the PelvicTool Home & Sport by Alonea can support this process: thanks to its biofeedback function, the device enables precise monitoring and awareness of muscle movements, which increases the effectiveness of the exercises.

The app-based control offers individualised training programmes that can be easily integrated into daily life. Moreover, the PelvicTool is suitable for all age groups and genders  as it can be used comfortably and without internal application, making it particularly hygenic and user-friendly.

Guide

Pelvic floor training can not only help prevent bladder weakness. Stronger pelvic floor muscles can also help with back pain and enhance a more pleasurable sex life.
