PelviX training requires no effort and has a stronger effect than traditional pelvic floor exercises or stand-alone training. It also helps to establish and improve the connection between the brain and the pelvic floor. Therefore also helping people who find it difficult to consciously activate their pelvic floor or who cannot fully activate it. There are additional frequencies that can calm the nerve signals (reducing urge or pain symptoms) and others that help relax the muscles. This is an additional benefit compared to classical training.

Most users notice the benefits of PelviX training fairly quickly. The degree of improvement is not completely the same for each person, but most feel an improvement after about the fifth session, some a little sooner and some a little later.

There is some evidence that combining additional pelvic floor exercises with magnetic stimulation may further increase the effectiveness of training. However, positive results are also seen without additional exercises. It should be considered on an individual basis, what is right for you.   PelviX™ training allows clients to feel their pelvic floor earlier and more clearly than with conventional exercises. One advantage is that a better awareness of the pelvic floor muscles can be developed relatively quickly and this can better enable self practice.

Studies on common problems of a weak pelvic floor (such as incontinence) have shown that the positive effects (reduction of symptoms or improved quality of life after magnetic stimulation training) may last for up to 1 year after the training is completed.

However, there is no clear answer to this question. How long the effects of PelviX last depends, among other things, on the general condition of the customer and whether the training is followed by independent training or physical activities.

PelviX training is the first choice for training a weak pelvic floor and is scientifically proven. PelviX training is similar to classic pelvic floor training, but with a number of significant benefits. PelviX magnetic field training trains the pelvic floor muscles in a simple, comfortable and effective way.

Functional Magnetic Stimulation" (FMS) of the pelvic floor with PelviX is based on the principle of "Repetitive Peripheral Muscle Stimulation (rPMS)".In the last 10 years, much new research has been conducted in this field and the results show that FMS and rPMS are an effective form of training, that can be used in a wide range of populations.

In addition, research has shown that FMS of the pelvic floor is particularly effective for those who do not benefit from pelvic floor exercises alone. This is understandable as there can be barriers to doing pelvic floor exercises alone, such as difficulty in specifically activating the right muscles and difficulty in coordinating muscle groups so that they can work together. All of this can be overcome through FMS of the pelvic floor.

It is not recommended because it can lead to overexertion and does not bring any additional positive effect. As a rule, a training session of up to 22 minutes is optimal for success

It is possible that there will be an initial deterioration within the first 10 training sessions. This is due to the fact that the already weak pelvic floor is now additionally challenged by the training. However, this gives the muscles a positive impulse to build up, which only happens during the rest phase. We do advise if this reaction is noticed to reduce the intensity of the training so that you give you muscles more time to adapt and get used to the training.

A good analogy is: if you do strength training, e.g. push-ups, you cannot do the same number of push-ups the same day and the next day because the muscles are exhausted.

In addition, it may be that the pelvic floor was hypertensive and has now become normotensive again due to the stimulation. In this case it will need to get used to the new situation before an improvement is seen.

In general, for customers with weaker pelvic floors, functional strength training (focusing on the pelvic floor or core) is better before the PelviX session. However, this is not always essential (see below):   Customers with an initial lower level of strength clearly have a tired pelvic floor after a PelviX session and are not able to do endurance training effectively. This is clearly evident during conscious pelvic floor training with the biofeedback chair when performed after a PelviX session, as opposed to before. For this customer group, it is therefore recommended to do the additional pelvic floor training before the PelviX session OR on another occasion.   Training before the PelviX session also can provide the added benefit that PelviX brings additional relaxation effects to the muscles (e.g. could reduce the likelihood of muscle soreness if done afterwards).   For higher functioning clients it is still possible to do training after a PelviX session and it is NOT counterproductive. In fact, some athletes report feeling that immedicately after a PelviX session they can lift more weight or have improved performance. This would likely be due to their core muscles being switched on and efficiently used.

Yes, using PelviX during menstruation is generally safe and not a problem. Some users choose to pause during their period, as the stimulation may increase blood flow and feel more intense. However, others report that the session actually helps relieve cramps and tension due to the muscle-relaxing effect. As always, it comes down to personal comfort and preference. Research also shows that using PelviX over the month can also help to reduce menstrual cramps during the time of the period and that the hormonal levels related to this are positively influenced.

The PelviX Chair is designed for all genders. While pelvic floor issues are often associated with women, men also benefit greatly from targeted pelvic floor training.

Pregnancy is a contraindication. It is a precautionary measure because there are no studies involving pregnant women with magnetic field training (they are always excluded).   For this reason, the customer should use contraception as long as you are using the PelviX. Pregnancy is always contraindicated no matter how advanced. If you are "actively" planning, i.e. no longer using contraception, then PelviX should not be used and other forms of pelvic floor training should be explored

Copper and gold IUDs are absolute contraindications for PelviX training because they are metal and therefore we can not rule out the potential of heating and possible tissue damage. A customer with a copper or gold IUD should therefore not train with PelviX Hormonal IUDs are a relative contraindication, meaning that with certain measures they may use the PelviX device. This is because there is no danger of heating. However we must inform the customer that the IUD position can theoretically slip and thus contraception is not guaranteed. It is  recommended to use other contraceptive methods during the training period and check the IUD position with their gynaecologist or healthcare professional before relying on it again.

Knee replacements are not a contraindication. It is only when a metal extension (nail) protrudes into the thigh bone that  it will be affected by the magnetic field.

Therefore, it is necessary to always point out that no metal should be present further than approx. 10 cm above the knee.

E.g. If it is a normal knee replacement with no metal extension (TKR), it is not a problem. Also, a partial prosthesis or a patella replacement are no problem.

Yes. This is a contraindication. The stem in the femur is made of a titanium compound which unfortunately can heat up. Generally all hip implants are an absolute contraindication

Decompensated heart disease means that: a)     the customer has a diagnosis of heart disease, e.g. heart failure, arrhythmia, chronic coronary syndrome, etc., and is currently acute. b)     The customer also has acute symptoms because of it, e.g. leg or lung oedema, shortness of breath, angina, etc. c)       However, if the customer is well adjusted to the medication, i.e. their condition has been stable for weeks, and they do not currently or recently need medical treatment, then their heart condition is compensated and therefore they can undergo ‚PelviX‘ training, as long as there are no other contraindications. In case of doubt, you should consult with the attending physician or with us.

Neither polyneuropathy nor fibromyalgia are likely to cause side effects and they are not contraindiciated.

Yes, it is no problem.

It is not an absolute contraindication. As a rule, clients with hyperthyroidism are on medication so that they have a balanced metabolism and therefore no symptoms.

It is important to distinguish between diverticulosis and diverticulitis. The former are protrusions (small pouches or sacs) that form and push out from the colon and can be completely asymptomatic. However, they can also become inflamed, in which case they are called diverticulitis and often require antibiotic treatment.   Customers who have diverticulosis can also suffer from diverticulitis more than once. This is a bacterial infection, which is why we advise against training in the acute stage. It also falls under the relative contraindication "acute infection with fever", even if the affected persons, especially older ones, do not necessarily have to have a fever. It is better to wait until the infection has healed before training on the PelviX.   It is important to ask the customers exactly whether they are currently being treated for diverticulitis or whether they have diverticulosis that is harmless.

If you currently have a blood clot, it’s best to wait until it’s fully resolved before using PelviX. The device increases blood flow, which might not be safe while a clot is active.

If you’re on blood thinners, it’s important to check why. Since blood thinners can affect how your blood flows and your risk of bruising, we recommend getting your doctor’s approval before starting PelviX.

Also, open wounds are contraindicated. This means if you have any open cuts, wounds, or skin irritation in the pelvic area, you should wait until those heal, because PelviX increases circulation there.

When unsure, it’s always safest to pause and consult a healthcare professional first.

In general, neuropathy is not a contraindication for using PelviX.

However, because nerve damage can affect how your muscles respond, the training might take longer to show results or may not have the expected effect. It’s important to keep this in mind and communicate openly about your condition.

You should switch off your diabetes sensor during the session and make sure it is not in the Magnetic field.

If it is on your arm, then you can rest your arm on the chair’s armrest—not on your lap—to avoid any interference.

If it is in a place, like the upper thigh, that is in the magnetic field, then the sensor would need to be fully removed before the session.

People are generally considered healed from Cancer after being in remission for 5 years without recurrence. If you are medically deemed as healed then you can use PelviX now.

If you would like to start PelviX training because you are cancer free, but you do not have an official diagnosis of being healed, then you will need signed approval from your doctor to ensure it’s safe for you.

If you have active cancer anywhere in the body, then you cannot use PelviX at this time. If you are still undergoing active cancer treatment—such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or similar therapies—PelviX must not be used. This is also considered an absolute contraindication (you cannot use PelviX). Once treatment is completed, your doctor can help assess the right time to begin.

Yes, PelviX can generally be used by people with osteoporosis. The training is performed in a seated position and is low-impact, which makes it gentle on the bones and joints. However, if you have advanced osteoporosis or a history of fractures—especially in the pelvis, spine, or hips—we recommend checking with your doctor before starting.

Comfort and safety should always come first. If there is any uncertainty, it’s best to contact a healthcare professional.

There are many ways to reduce the intensity of the session and make it comfortable for your customer. For example:   1) Use a folded towel for your customer to sit on.... Fold it as many times as necessary to make the stimulation painless and comfortable.   2) Make sure the sitting position is a relaxed, reclined position. (The stimulation is felt less intensely when the sitting position is reclined).   3) Move the focus away from the painful area. For example, if the customer has back pain, move the coil setting until it is more comfortable or if you are using BACK change to a programme with a more spread out focus that has less time in the sensitive back area, like TRAIN.   4) Reduce to a lower frequency range by changing the programme (e.g. VITALIZE).   5) Reduce the active:pause setting to a lower stimulation (e.g. to 6:4 or 4:4).

Yes, customers typically feel the impulses during the session. The sensation is often described as rhythmic tapping, toggling, or deep vibrations in the pelvic floor area. It’s a new and unusual feeling for many, but not painful. You will feel the full contraction of your pelvic floor—not just parts of it—because the stimulation reaches deep into the entire muscle group. PelviX uses Functional Magnetic Stimulation (FMS), not electrical stimulation. Unlike EMS (electrical muscle stimulation), which requires direct skin contact and only targets the muscles, FMS works through clothing and stimulates both nerves and muscles—making it neuromuscular. The system sends repetitive magnetic impulses at varying frequencies, designed to activate the pelvic floor in different ways throughout the session.

It’s important to find an intensity level that feels comfortable. More intensity is not always better. You should feel comfortable during the session and also afterwards. If you feel pain or soreness during or after, the intensity might be too high and should be lowered. Start with a low intensity and increase it slowly. Only raise it by a maximum of one level each session, or even less if needed. When you move to more advanced programs, the intensity might feel stronger. In that case, it’s a good idea to lower the intensity to start with. Some people are more sensitive than others. If you feel nervous or unsure, start low and tell your provider how it feels.

It is positive to sit supported with the back rest and foot rest and feel comfortable. You can adapt the chair position if needed for this.   The stimulation should also ideally be felt centrally in the pelvic floor area. It is common to perceive it slightly more on one side, as muscular imbalances are normal. These may also balance out with training.   However, if possible, aim for a centered sensation. If you feel it more strongly on one side, try shifting slightly toward that side to balance the effect.

PelviX training requires no effort and has a stronger effect than traditional pelvic floor exercises or stand-alone training. It also helps to establish and improve the connection between the brain and the pelvic floor. Therefore also helping people who find it difficult to consciously activate their pelvic floor or who cannot fully activate it.

PelviPower can also be offered as a maintenance training, in which case sessions do not need to be carried out as regularly.

PelviPower training is a safe and conservative method for training a weak pelvic floor and is scientifically proven. PelviPower magnetic field training trains the pelvic floor muscles in a simple, comfortable and effective way using a Functional Magnetic Stimulation Technology.

Functional Magnetic Stimulation" (FMS) of the pelvic floor also known as "Repetitive Peripheral Muscle Stimulation (rPMS)" has an increasing evidence-base. In the last 10 years, much new research has been conducted in this field and the results show that FMS/ rPMS are an effective form of training, that can be used in a wide range of populations. For an up-to-date overview of the FMS studies across indication take a look at our Full Studies List in the downloads section.

In addition, research has shown that FMS of the pelvic floor is particularly effective for those who do not benefit from pelvic floor exercises alone. This is understandable as there can be barriers to doing pelvic floor exercises alone, such as difficulty in specifically activating the right muscles and difficulty in coordinating muscle groups so that they can work together.

It is important to distinguish between diverticulosis and diverticulitis. The former are protrusions (small pouches or sacs) that form and push out from the colon and can be completely asymptomatic. However, they can also become inflamed, in which case they are called diverticulitis and often require antibiotic treatment.   Customers who have diverticulosis can also suffer from diverticulitis more than once. This is a bacterial infection, which is why we advise against training in the acute stage. It also falls under the relative contraindication "acute infection with fever", even if the affected persons, especially older ones, do not necessarily have to have a fever. It is better to wait until the infection has healed before training on the PelviPower.   It is important to ask the customers exactly whether they are currently being treated for diverticulitis or whether they have diverticulosis that is harmless.

If you currently have a blood clot, it’s best to wait until it’s fully resolved before using PelviPower. The device increases blood flow, which might not be safe while a clot is active.

If you’re on blood thinners, it’s important to check why. Since blood thinners can affect how your blood flows and your risk of bruising, we recommend getting your doctor’s approval before starting PelviPower.

Also, open wounds are contraindicated. This means if you have any open cuts, wounds, or skin irritation in the pelvic area, you should wait until those heal, because PelviPower increases circulation there.

When unsure, it’s always safest to pause and consult a healthcare professional first.

In general, neuropathy is not a contraindication for using PelviPower.

However, because nerve damage can affect how your muscles respond, the training might take longer to show results or may not have the expected effect. It’s important to keep this in mind and communicate openly about your condition.

You should switch off your diabetes sensor during the session and make sure it is not in the Magnetic field.

If it is on your arm, then you can rest your arm on the chair’s armrest—not on your lap—to avoid any interference.

If it is in a place, like the upper thigh, that is in the magnetic field, then the sensor would need to be fully removed before the session.

People are generally considered healed from Cancer after being in remission for 5 years without recurrence. If you are medically deemed as healed then you can use PelviPower now.

If you would like to start PelviPower training because you are cancer free, but you do not have an official diagnosis of being healed, then you will need signed approval from your doctor to ensure it’s safe for you.

If you have active cancer anywhere in the body, then you cannot use PelviPower at this time. If you are still undergoing active cancer treatment—such as chemotherapy, radiotherapy, or similar therapies—PelviPower must not be used. This is also considered an absolute contraindication (you cannot use PelviPower). Once treatment is completed, your doctor can help assess the right time to begin.

Yes, PelviPower can generally be used by people with osteoporosis. The training is performed in a seated position and is low-impact, which makes it gentle on the bones and joints. However, if you have advanced osteoporosis or a history of fractures—especially in the pelvis, spine, or hips—we recommend checking with your doctor before starting.

Comfort and safety should always come first. If there is any uncertainty, it’s best to contact a healthcare professional.

There are many ways to reduce the intensity of the session and make it comfortable for your customer.

For example:  
1) Use a folded towel for your customer to sit on.... Fold it as many times as necessary to make the stimulation painless and comfortable.  
2) Make sure the sitting position is a relaxed, reclined position. (The stimulation is felt less intensely when the sitting position is reclined).  
3) Move the focus of the coil away from the painful area.
4) Reduce to a lower frequency range by changing the programme   
5) Reduce the active:pause setting to a lower stimulation (e.g. to 6:4 or 4:4).

Yes, customers typically feel the impulses during the session. The sensation is often described as rhythmic tapping, toggling, or deep vibrations in the pelvic floor area. It’s a new and unusual feeling for many, but not painful. You will feel the full contraction of your pelvic floor—not just parts of it—because the stimulation reaches deep into the entire muscle group.

PelviPower uses Functional Magnetic Stimulation (FMS), not electrical stimulation. Unlike EMS (electrical muscle stimulation), which requires direct skin contact and only targets the muscles, FMS works through clothing and stimulates both nerves and muscles—making it neuromuscular. The system sends repetitive magnetic impulses at varying frequencies, designed to activate the pelvic floor in different ways throughout the session.

It’s important to find an intensity level that feels comfortable. More intensity is not always better. You should feel comfortable during the session and also afterwards. If you feel pain or soreness during or after, the intensity might be too high and should be lowered. Start with a low intensity and increase it slowly. Only raise it by a maximum of one level each session, or even less if needed. When you move to more advanced programs, the intensity might feel stronger. In that case, it’s a good idea to lower the intensity to start with. Some people are more sensitive than others.
If you feel nervous or unsure, start low and use client feedback to guide you. Additional information can be found in the full intensity Guidelines available in the downloads section.

It is positive to sit supported with the back rest and foot rest and feel comfortable. The chair will automatically start in a reclined and supported position. This is typically a good palce to stay, especially if the client has back pain or prolpase as less pressure on the spine and pelvic floor from gravity is ideal here during training. 

You can however adapt the chair position if needed for your client. You may find an adpated position gets a more positive feedback and response. 

The stimulation should also ideally be felt centrally in the pelvic floor area. It is common to perceive it slightly more on one side, as muscular imbalances are normal. These may also balance out with training.   However, if possible, aim for a centered sensation. If you feel it more strongly on one side, try asking your client to shift slightly toward that side to balance the effect.
