PelvicTool – supports awareness, control & strengthening of your pelvic floor
Easy training
Training with the PelvicTool Home & Sport is very simple: sit in an upright, relaxed position on the comfortable seat cushion with the soft sensor tube. With the help of the PelvicTool app and biofeedback programmes, you will learn to tension, hold and relax your pelvic floor muscles in a targeted manner.
During biofeedback training, the barely noticeable movements of the pelvic floor muscles are detected by sensors and displayed as visible signals in the app. This is particularly helpful because the pelvic floor muscles are located inside the body and many people initially find it difficult to consciously feel and control them. Biofeedback has therefore proven to be the ideal method for pelvic floor training.
First-time use of the PelvicTool Home & Sport
The PelvicTool Home & Sport is almost ready for use after unpacking. All you need is a smartphone or tablet. It is important that you proceed as follows before using the device for the first time:
- Charge the sensor tube for at least 1 hour beforehand using the supplied USB power adapter.
- Download the free PelvicTool app onto your smartphone or tablet.
- Make sure that Bluetooth is switched on and that location services are activated.
To start training, ‘wake up’ the PelvicTool by briefly squeezing the soft turquoise part in the middle of the sensor tube with your thumb and index finger. When you squeeze it, the training device switches to the active state and connects to the smartphone/tablet. Let’s go!
Why do I need the PelvicTool app?
The PelvicTool pelvic floor training device only works in conjunction with the PelvicTool Home & Sport app.The app makes pelvic floor training with the PelvicTool visible. While the sensors of the PelvicTool measure the movements of your pelvic floor muscles, the PelvicTool app visualises the exercises in real time. This way, you can see on your smartphone or tablet whether you are tensing and relaxing the right muscles, and you can easily monitor your training performance and progress.

Frequency and intensity of training
Training the pelvic floor muscles is not fundamentally different from training other muscle groups. The muscle becomes stronger and more controllable if you build it up continuously through regular training.
However, with the pelvic floor muscles, it is often not so much pure muscle strength that is in the foreground as its control: more attention needs to be paid to the neuromuscular aspects.
As with all training, it is generally recommended to start with lower intensities and fewer training sessions per week, and only then to increase the frequency and intensity. The muscles should gradually get used to the training.
Maximum muscle strength is usually not the main focus
In the less common case that maximum muscle strength needs to be increased, the muscle must be heavily loaded. The training takes place just below maximum strength. The high load stimulus triggers biochemical processes that ultimately lead to muscle growth and greater strength. The growth takes place during the regeneration process after training.
It makes sense to limit this type of training to about 2–4 minutes and about 2–3 repetitions.
Better control of the pelvic floor muscles
In most cases, users of the PelvicTool aim to achieve better control of the muscles. In this case, it is less about maximum strength and more about neuromuscular control of the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor muscles should be able to be tensed and relaxed both quickly and slowly. Another important goal is to maintain a stable, approximately equal tension over a longer period of time. As a rule, an intensity of about 50% – 80% of the ‘maximum strength’, i.e. the strength during calibration, is useful for this. It is about a tension at which the training (game) can be carried out well.
When calibrating at the beginning of each training session, the programme automatically selects the force range of approx. 80% of the force (‘maximum force’) used during calibration. However, you can easily select a different force range for each game. What is important is not the absolute value, but a range that allows you to perform the training/game well while exerting the tension or force at a level that suits you.
Avoid tensing your pelvic floor muscles convulsively. On the other hand, it is important that you really do tense your pelvic floor muscles noticeably. You can also customise the speed, difficulty level and duration of the individual training programmes.
Training recommendations for beginners
Frequency: approx. 2 – 4 training sessions of 4 – 6 minutes per week
Speed, difficulty, game duration: low – medium (50 % – 100 %)
Training recommendation for advanced
Frequency: approx. 3 – 7 training sessions of 5 – 15 minutes per week
Speed, difficulty, game duration: medium – high (100 – 150 %)
These are rough guidelines, most people feel whether they can and want to train more frequently and intensively or whether they prefer a slower training build-up. Well trained muscles allow frequent training.
