Pelvic floor electrical stimulation

 
 


EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) or NMES (neuromuscular electrical stimulation) devices
are widely used in physical therapy. They work by passing tiny electrical impulses through the nerves and muscle, via electrodes in pads placed on the skin or, in the case of specialist pelvic floor devices, via an internal probe inserted into the vagina or anus. The tiny impulses stimulate the nerves and muscles, causing the muscle groups of the pelvic floor contract and relax automatically. Stimulation devices are therefore often recommended for women and men who are unable to identify or contract their pelvic floor muscles voluntarily. They can provide either an alternative or supplement to pelvic floor exercises and other exercise aids.

Stimulation devices help to increase muscle strength, maintain or improve range of movement and increase and improve the blood supply to the muscle.
