Pregnancy and Birth: The Biggest Challenges for Your Pelvic Floor
Strengthen pelvic floor muscles, monitor training progress via app: PelvicTool pelvic floor trainer
The pelvic floor is the support network for the internal organs in the abdominal cavity.
The pelvic floor consists of three superimposed layers of muscles that are connected by connective tissue. This muscular network forms the floor of the torso and closes the abdominal cavity downwards. It holds the organs and secures them in place. The pelvic floor must therefore be stable and elastic at the same time.
During pregnancy, the pelvic floor also bears the weight of the child and the increasingly heavy uterus and is therefore exposed to enormous challenges. The baby presses on the bladder, and the muscles also become looser and softer due to hormones.
How can the pelvic floor be supported during pregnancy?
With pelvic floor training, the pelvic floor muscles can be gently trained and strengthened. A simple method of pelvic floor training can be biofeedback training using an app. The great advantage of this is that the reactions of the pelvic floor muscle to the exercises are precisely measured and graphically displayed – without intimate contact. The training can be done fully clothed.
“After the birth of my third child, I began to feel a slight weakness in my abdomen. Thanks to regular training with the PelvicTool as a supplement to my sports routine, all my worries about the pelvic floor are completely forgotten.”
What happens to the pelvic floor during childbirth?
During pregnancy, the pelvic floor must primarily hold and close. At birth, the exact opposite is demanded of him: he must open himself as never before to let the child through. To do this, the pelvic floor muscles must relax and expand to up to two and a half times their original size. Women who have experience with pelvic floor training can target and release the pelvic floor muscles more easily.
In addition, trained pelvic floor muscles are also more elastic pelvic floor muscles.
If the pelvic floor is not elastic enough, this can lead to birth injuries to muscles, tendons and ligaments. This can lead to pain and poor pelvic floor function.
“As a midwife, I see every day the challenges women face with their pelvic floor during pregnancy, childbirth, and recovery. With the PelvicTool, I now have the perfect instrument to show women simple and effective ways to regain a high quality of life.”

How to restore the function of the pelvic floor after birth?
For most women, with time and proper training, the pelvic floor can recover from the strain. If, however, it is unable to resume its stabilising function of its own accord, there is a risk not only of bladder weakness but also of back pain, a lowered vagina or a hernia of the abdominal wall. Neuromuscular training via app and sensor feedback may then be appropriate options to avoid surgery.
How does training with the PelvicTool pelvic floor trainer work?
The PelvicTool training device is easy to use and effective. To train, place the soft, comfortable sensor tube with the supplied seat cushion on a flat stool and start the PelvicTool app on your smartphone or tablet.
Training involves contracting, holding and releasing the pelvic floor while sitting on the PelvicTool. The tube sends contraction values to your smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth.

Small effort, big effect!

The application is very simple: The training is done sitting on the PelvicTool, by tensing the pelvic floor, holding the tension and releasing the tension. Even small contractions affect the pleasantly soft sensor tube and are displayed as a training result via app on your smartphone or tablet.
PelvicTool App
The biofeedback method has proven to be ideal for pelvic floor training, as many people find it difficult to feel the right muscle and move it voluntarily at first. With the PelvicTool, the contraction values acting on the sensor are sent via Bluetooth to the mobile phone or tablet, where they are displayed graphically.
Varied training programmes support you in carrying out your training in a motivated and consistent manner.
