Most people aim to contract and consciously engage their pelvic floor in order to train the muscles.<\/p>\n

For quite a number of patients, however, the real challenge lies in relaxing the muscles<\/strong>. They have an overactive pelvic floor: the tension is pronounced, and the muscles cannot fully relax. This hypertonia<\/strong> (over-tension) can cause a variety of pain symptoms (pelvic pain, difficulties with bladder emptying, pain during intercourse, and more).<\/p>\n

The PelvicTool Home & Sport<\/a><\/span> also enables users to specifically train the relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles<\/strong> through the app\u2019s games. Physiotherapists report positive experiences in this regard. With biofeedback, users can immediately see how their muscles relax. This neuromuscular process of relaxation can therefore be learned more easily. Children\u2019s hospitals also report good results. In children in particular, the focus is on relaxation rather than contraction of the muscles.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, we recommend that in cases of pelvic floor hypertonia, the causes and possible therapies should first be clarified medically.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
