Biofeedback Pelvictrainer

Test, determine starting point

Every patient has its own pelvic floor characteristic, based on strength and control.

For a correct zero provision the pelvic floor muscles are tested three times by contracting and relaxing them.

Sit still and upright, breath in a relaxed way.

Don't use the belly or breathing to enforce extra pressure on the pelvic floor.
