Pelvic floor – a taboo subject?<\/h2>\n
Although urinary incontinence is now openly discussed in many places, not all problems related to weakness or overstretching of the pelvic floor muscles<\/strong> are taboo. These include impaired bowel function, prolapse, pain during sexual intercourse<\/strong> or general pain in the bladder, vagina and rectum, which are in close proximity to the pelvic floor. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n![\"Pelvic](\"https:\/\/alonea.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Physio-225x300.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n“An overactive pelvic floor muscle is also not uncommon and should be treated with specific relaxation exercises”. Susanne Egli, physiotherapist, Medbase Winterthur, Brunngasse<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\nPelvic floor problems can affect all age groups, although the risk of incontinence problems in women increases with age. Working with children and teenagers requires additional specialisation in pelvic floor physiotherapy. Men are also affected by the problem, especially after prostate surgery<\/strong>. As a result, many patients lose self-confidence and reduce their mobility to the point of isolation, as even a simple trip into town can become a psychological burden.<\/p>\n<\/p>\nProfessional support for lasting treatment success<\/h2>\n\n\nThis makes it all the more important to put yourself in the hands of a professional for a thorough assessment. <\/strong> Susanne Egli will first carry out a vaginal or anal examination to determine whether and to what extent there is under- or over-activity and whether the person concerned is able to control the pelvic floor muscles selectively at all. <\/p>\nSusanne Egli points out: “About one third of those affected cannot feel exactly where the pelvic floor is and are therefore unable to contract and relax it or even compensate for movement by activating other muscle groups.” <\/em><\/p>\nIn the case of devices with pressure sensors, this can lead to patients receiving positive feedback on their training even though it is triggered by the wrong muscle groups. For Susanne Egli, it is therefore very important to work with patients over a number of physiotherapy sessions to develop the ability to contract muscles correctly. However, once this awareness has been developed, regular training at home can reduce symptoms and, in the long term, significantly improve quality of life within a few weeks. <\/strong><\/p>\n“Our aim is to sensitise patients over the course of several sessions to the training and use of the pelvic floor muscles in everyday life and then to release them into independence,”<\/em> says Susanne Egli.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/alonea.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/DSC_6141b.jpg\")

The Alonea PelvicTool is ideal for working with patients for a number of reasons, as the pelvic floor therapist explains: “As no sensor needs to be inserted into the body,<\/strong> patients need to exert very little effort, so the device can be used without much effort in everyday practice, even for shorter training sessions. “<\/em>The PelvicTool consists of the training app<\/a> and a seat cushion with a sensor tube in the middle, on which the patient sits in light training clothes. In biofeedback training, the contraction and relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles is measured by sensors and visualised in the PelvicTool app. <\/strong>This makes it possible to check in real time on the smartphone or tablet during the therapy session whether the patient is exercising at the right level. Individual settings for the training programmes are also possible, as is guided or free training. <\/p>\n<\/p>\nThe Alonea PelvicTool provides targeted training, whether you are treating pelvic floor weakness or excessive tension. Its ease of use makes it ideal for lending to patients: It is easy to use and motivates patients to train independently with short, varied training sessions with progress monitoring. <\/p>\n
Because, says pelvic floor physiotherapist Susanne Egli: “In order to achieve and maintain long-term improvement, pelvic floor training must be integrated into everyday life forever.”<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n ALONEA PELVICTOOL SHOP<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nMedbase Winterthur Brunngasse<\/h4>\n
