Here are 5 good reasons to use a biofeedbackbased smart kegel trainer to strengthen your pelvic floor.

Being active in your exercises with biofeedback

One of the main advantages of biofeedback based smart kegel trainers is that they allow you to train your pelvic floor actively while playing games with your pelvic floor The user must voluntarily contract their pelvic floor to strengthen it.

Conversely, with electrostimulation probes, the woman is passive in the contraction. In this case, it is an electrical current that mechanically stimulates the pelvic floor.

Visualizing real-time pelvic contractions

Biofeedback is based on the principle of “feedback”. When a woman contracts her pelvic floor, the pelvic floor will detect the strength of the contraction while playing fun games with er pelvic floor muscles.

The signal will then be sent and displayed on a screen where the pelvic contraction will be visualized by a curve, an object, or a character. The woman can then control if her contraction was correctly executed.

Biofeedback technology provides real-time feedback on pelvic floor contractions. When a woman performs her exercises at home with a connected trainer, all she needs i sher this will be d her smartphone or tablet. This allows for a real awareness and learning of pelvic floor contractions to establish good habits in her daily life.
