PelviPower
What is PelviPower? What can I expect?
PelviPower is a comfortable, non-invasive system that uses magnetic stimulation to activate and train the pelvic floor and surrounding muscles.
Treatment takes place while you are seated and fully clothed. During the session you will feel the muscles contracting as they are stimulated. There is no recovery time or downtime afterwards.
PelviPower offers a range of targeted programmes depending on your individual needs, including pelvic floor strengthening, incontinence, women’s and men’s pelvic health, back support and general fitness.
Incontinence
A weak or poorly functioning pelvic floor can contribute to problems with bladder and bowel control.
PelviPower provides targeted programmes for different forms of incontinence, including stress, urge and mixed urinary incontinence, as well as bowel incontinence. The programmes are designed to activate and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and improve pelvic floor function.

Women’s Pelvic Health
The pelvic floor has an important role in bladder control, core stability, sexual function and women’s health throughout different stages of life.
PelviPower offers programmes for pelvic floor activation and strengthening, postnatal recovery, menopause and pelvic floor support. Treatment is comfortable, non-invasive and carried out while fully clothed.

Back Pain & Stability
The pelvic floor, core and back muscles work together to provide support and stability.
PelviPower has dedicated programmes for the back, including programmes aimed at acute and chronic back problems and programmes combining back, pelvic floor and core activation. Specific programmes also address the piriformis and sciatic region.

Fitness, Core & Pelvic Floor Strength
Pelvic floor training isn’t only for people experiencing symptoms. PelviPower can also be used as part of a general strengthening and fitness programme.
The PelviPower fitness programmes range from introductory pelvic floor activation through to regular training and more intensive strengthening and maintenance programmes. They can help train the pelvic floor together with surrounding core and supporting muscles.
What does a session involve?
You simply sit comfortably on the PelviPower chair wearing your normal clothes. The system stimulates the targeted muscles, producing repeated contractions during the programme.
The programme and intensity can be adjusted according to your individual needs and goals.

What our clients say…
“Your clean and friendly clinic ‘The Form Practice’ has liberated me. After years of rushing to find the nearest loo, and sadly not always getting there in time, I found you. After conquering my initial embarrassment (why feel like that when there are millions of us) I made an appointment and am so very glad that I did. I was welcomed and given clear information on what to expect and to achieve.
The PelviPower sessions has made a massive difference to me. I can now go out with confidence and without worry. I would encourage anyone who is suffering with incontinence to make an appointment. It is not an exaggeration to say that I enjoy my outings so much more now. I recommended the treatment to my friend and she, too, is pleased with the results. A big thank you from me.”
