The Athena Pelvic Floor Exerciser uses electrical stimulation to contract and relax your pelvic floor strengthening and retraining the pelvic floor muscles.
The pelvic floor is a large muscle that sits at the base of your pelvis. It supports your bladder and other organs. Like any muscle, the pelvic floor needs regular exercise. Unfortunately the pelvic muscle weakens with age and can be affected by changes in our lives.
Childbirth can damage the muscle, tissue and nerves and the menopause can cause further weakening as our oestrogen levels drop. High impact exercise and weight gain including pregnancy can also place extra strain on your pelvic floor.
The good news is that, like any muscle, the pelvic floor responds well to exercise and it’s never too late to start. At some point in your life you have probably been advised to do your pelvic floor exercises (Kegels). Put simply, the Athena Pelvic Floor Exerciser does these for you. It uses a gentle electrical impulse to stimulate the nerves and to contract and relax your pelvic floor muscle. It is totally safe, discreet, simple, and convenient to use because it is the ONLY wireless device of its kind.
The trainer portion of the Athena Pelvic Floor Exerciser will automatically run for 15 minutes. Many women use the Athena twice a day and have found results in just 8 to 12 weeks. You should notice a difference in just a matter of weeks. The Athena Pelvic Floor Exerciser can be used less frequently for maintenance after you find you are back in control of your bladder.
