Pelvic Floor Strengthening — Incontinence Treatment

Urinary incontinence — the involuntary leakage of urine — affects a significant proportion of adults, with stress incontinence (leakage during coughing, sneezing or exercise) and urge incontinence (sudden strong need to urinate before reaching the toilet) being the two most common forms. Both types are associated with weakened pelvic floor musculature: the network of muscles and connective tissue that support the bladder, uterus and rectum, and that play…

Conventional first-line treatment is Kegel physiotherapy — voluntary contractions of the pelvic floor. The limitation of Kegel training is that it requires patients to correctly identify and isolate the pelvic floor muscles (many do not) and to sustain a high weekly training volume over several months. Compliance is poor and many patients do not achieve sufficient results through exercise alone.

The REDOX device bypasses the voluntary pathway entirely: focused electromagnetic pulses penetrate the pelvic floor musculature and induce supramaximal contractions — muscle recruitment at a level that voluntary effort cannot achieve. Each 25-minute session produces approximately 52,000 contractions, delivering the equivalent of thousands of perfectly executed Kegel exercises in a short, supervised session. The patient sits or lies with the applicator…
