For which complaints is the PelvicTool suitable

Regular pelvic floor training can be very beneficial in cases such as urinary and faecal incontinence, bladder weakness, erectile dysfunction, back problems and postural issues.

Pelvic floor training is recommended by healthcare professionals and therapists both as a preventive measure and to ease existing complaints.

The PelvicTool by Alonea is a non-invasive aid that trains the pelvic floor gently and in a targeted way, without the need to insert anything. It consists of an ergonomic seat cushion and a soft sensor tube, which allow for pain-free training.

The training is supported by a dedicated app that can be installed on your smartphone or tablet. The PelvicTool uses the proven biofeedback method, in which muscle contractions are displayed in real time on the smartphone screen, making training easier and progress visible.

For sustainable strengthening and control of the pelvic floor muscles, regular training over a longer period – ideally over years – is important. As with any other muscle group, the pelvic floor requires continuous activation and strengthening to maintain its function.

The PelvicTool is designed for short training sessions that make it possible to improve the pelvic floor muscles without investing much time. In most cases, 2–3 sessions per week of about 5 minutes are recommended. The intensity and duration of the exercises can be adapted to individual needs and progress. Regular training is the key to achieving long-term results and optimising control of the pelvic floor muscles.

Where is the pelvic floor muscle located

The pelvic floor forms the lower boundary of the abdominal cavity; its muscles are directly connected to the bony pelvis.

How do I clean the PelvicTool?
