What is PelviX for? Pelvic floor and core training

PelviX uses functional magnetic stimulation to produce muscle contractions. Its programmes target the pelvic floor and related core areas, with additional approaches for the back, buttocks and thighs. The appropriate goal depends on the individual.

How the technology works

Stimulation is delivered through a chair. The magnetic field induces electrical currents in tissues that can activate motor nerves and produce contractions. This differs from placing electrodes on the skin.

For timing, preparation and the visit itself, read what to expect at a first session at Pelvi CR.

Which goals the programmes address

The training materials distinguish activation and awareness, strength training and maintenance. They also describe programmes focused on particular areas. This offers different training goals, but does not mean each programme treats every symptom associated with that area.

Urine leaks, sexual function and back discomfort each need their own explanation.

Training a muscle and treating a condition are different

One person may want to recognise their pelvic floor more clearly. Another may have a diagnosis of incontinence. Even if they ask about the same equipment, their needs and alternatives are not identical.

Clinical recommendations for pelvic floor exercises do not, by themselves, establish the effectiveness of magnetic equipment. Research findings cannot automatically be applied to every symptom, programme or person.

Setting realistic expectations

Before starting, agree on an observable goal: which situation you would like to improve, how you will track it and when to review the plan. There is no universal number of sessions that guarantees results.

Comfort and the response during and after each application matter more than pursuing the highest intensity. Pain should be reported and the application reviewed.

Choose the topic that matters to you

Read who may consider PelviX for the suitability review. If your interest is appearance, the strength and toning guide separates that goal from specific pelvic floor work.

Frequently asked questions

Does PelviX replace exercises?

That depends on the goal and the individual plan. Learning to coordinate the pelvic floor in everyday activities remains different from receiving induced contractions.

Are results guaranteed?

No. Individual response and the cause of symptoms affect what can be achieved.
