Elvie The Pelvic Floor Trainer

Why pelvic floor exercise matters

The pelvic floor is a very important set of muscles, but a lot of people are fairly uneducated about them. They sit like a hammock between your tailbone and pubic bone. When healthy and toned they protect your body against the effects of pregnancy, childbirth, ageing menopause, impact sport and much, much more. If your pelvic floor muscles do become weakened or damaged it can lead to bladder and bowel incontinence, pelvic pain, prolapse and even a lack of intimate sensation. Despite what many tv adverts may suggest, you don’t have to accept the risk of leaks every time you cough, sneeze or laugh. 

Pelvic floor exercises, or Kegels, are commonly recommended by experts to prevent or treat pelvic floor problems which you can do anytime by squeezing the muscles, however, the muscles are hidden which makes it difficult to know whether you are exercising them correctly as there is no indication that you are doing the right thing. That’s where Elvie comes in, it is your really personal trainer…

Why Choose Elvie, the award-winning Kegel exercise tracker?
