  1. 3 Steps to Leak Free Gym Sessions

    3 things you can do to stop leaking at the gym.    

    Do you leak when you exercise? Do you make an excuse not to attend if your gym session includes running, skipping or, even worse, double unders and box jumps?

    This is called Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) and you are not alone, but there are solutions!

    A recent study1 of over 4500 women found that 46% had stopped exercise they previously enjoyed due to their pelvic floor symptoms. Of these, 41% reported the reason to be SUI.

  2. Aquaflex is no longer available - what are the alternatives?

    Aquaflex is no longer available - what are the alternatives?

    Aquaflex Pelvic Floor Exercise System has been a favourite easy- to -use set of pelvic floor or kegel weights for decades.
    Sadly production was recently ceased without warning and I have been fielding many questions as to what do we use now?!

    There have always been many alternatives so let's look at what you might want to consider whether for yourself, or if you are a clinician, for your patients.

    For a long time we have had a pelvic floor weight comparison chart on our website which you can view here.
    I created this in response to the "which vaginal weights are best for me / my patient?" question. The answer to that is .....it depends.
    There never has been just one brand that is best.

    Tattoos and TENS. Yes or No?

    Tattoos date back to Neolithic times and have great cultural significance however in recent times they have become popular worldwide with several estimates stating that 36% of adults under 40 and 10% of the wider western world population have at least one tattoo.

    Tattooing is the depositing of ink pigment, via a needle into the epidermis and dermis of the skin which are the outer two layers. It penetrates about 0.6 to 2.2 mm deep. Only the ink deposited into the dermis is permanent. The epidermal layer sloughs off as it is replaced with new cells during healing.

    A literature search revealed numerous articles on the dermatology consequences of tattoos, along with the possible toxicity of some pigments. Tattoo ink migration has even been shown to turn up in sentinel nodes, giving the appearance of metastatic melanoma.

    Permanent tattoo inks are made up of pigments and additives derived from animals, plants and metals. At risk tattoos

    Reading instructions can be boring and, sometimes, hard to understand or picture in your head.
    Even more difficult when you are trying to learn how to use a device or product designed for intimate use - like those we sell on Pelvic Floor Exercise. Asking questions about these types of products isn't always easy and not necessarily something you may feel comfortable doing over coffee with a friend (although we hope one day these topics won't be so taboo).

    The Ins and Outs of Pelvic Floor Electrodes- FAQ

    How do I know if an electrode is compatible with my machine?

    All of the internal / insertable  electrodes we sell on Pelvic Floor Exercise are compatible with all of the machines we sell (stimulation and EMG)
    Electrodes couple to a machines leads via 'male' and 'female' connections. The male connection is a pin and the female connection is recessed. The male fits into the female ( wonder where that came from?)
    Most electrodes have pins which fit into the lead which in turn connects to the machine.
