What is High Intensity Pelvic Exercise?

High Intensity Pelvic Exercise (HIPEX) is one of the latest technology using electromagnetic energy to help patients suffering from stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The focused electromagnetic field is able to pass through all skin and fat to stimulate high intensity pelvic floor muscle contractions, similar to Kegel exercises. This is ideal for strengthening our pelvic floor muscle which helps to support our bladder and urethra. HIPEX is proven to be safe and effective. And best of all, there is no downtime after the treatment.

 

What is stress urinary incontinence?

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) refers to the involuntary leakage of urine triggered by any physical exertion on the bladder. This can occur during coughing, sneezing, laughing or exercise. It can affect men and women of any age but is most common after repeated pregnancy, menopause or prostate surgery.  The main cause of SUI is due to the weakening of pelvic floor which comprises of a group of muscles and ligaments to keep the urethra closed so that urine remains in the bladder. This can be made worse by conditions such as obesity, chronic coughing and constipation which put pressure on the bladder.

Undergoing HIPEX treatment

What do I expect from a High Intensity Pelvic Exercise session?

A single treatment session requires only 30 minutes. It is non invasive and there is no pain. You will be seated comfortably on our HIPEX chair while the device performs pelvic floor exercises for you. For best results, repeat the treatment 2 to 3 times a week. At the end of 6 to 8 sessions, you should start to notice improvements to your urinary incontinence. Thereafter, you have the option to continue the sessions on a weekly basis to maintain your positive results.

On a side note, there is also clinical evidence to support that pelvic floor exercises may help to improve sexual function in both men and women.

You may also want to combine your HIPEX treatments with our Electromagnetic Muscle Trainer (EMT) sessions for a more toned, sculpted and slimmer body.
