Studies and Scientific Evidence on Pelvic Floor Training

Pelvic floor training has a positive impact on health and well-being.

Does pelvic floor muscle training work?

Medical science is unanimous: regular, correctly performed pelvic floor exercises can relieve complaints such as bladder weakness, incontinence, erectile dysfunction or prostate problems in many cases.

Like any muscle, untrained pelvic floor muscles become weak over time. Consistent pelvic floor training helps to strengthen the muscles, improve circulation and increase conscious control.

Biofeedback training devices such as PelvicTool Home & Sport from Alonea offer an effective method of strengthening and training the pelvic floor muscles by providing precise and immediate feedback on muscle activity.

Therapeutic support is essential for people with pelvic dysfunction. Targeted pelvic floor rehabilitation and regular pelvic floor training can often successfully alleviate symptoms.

Studies on pelvic floor training with biofeedback

Studies of biofeedback pelvic floor training devices, which use the same physical measurement principle as Alonea’s PelvicTool (measuring the force exerted by the pelvic floor on a soft sensor tube), show that improvements in incontinence problems can be achieved.

This is documented, for example in master theses of the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), which were carried out in cooperation with the fitness chain «Kieser-Training» und dem City hospital Zurich, Triemli. These are exploratory studies.

„Although I lost the feeling in my pelvic floor muscles after a radical prostatectomy (RPE), I learned to control my pelvic floor muscles and reduce my incontinence symptoms with the help of PelvicTool. Seeing the progress on the app motivated me to continue.“

U. Rosendahl Huber

Improvements in muscle strength and control

Those who train regularly with the PelvicTool quickly achieve significant improvements in muscle strength and muscle control. Both are considered prerequisites for the successful therapy of incontinence problems.

Training progress is documented by automatically storing training data in the PelvicTool-App on the user’s smartphone or tablet. The results are clearly displayed both graphically and numerically. It is important that training results are tracked over time. Comparing individual results will of course show fluctuations as you do not always sit on the PelvicTool in exactly the same way and your own ‘daily form’ may vary slightly.

The PelvicTool helps you to become aware of, control and strengthen your pelvic floor.
