Pelvic Floor Trainer | ELANEE – Strengthen & Train the Pelvic Floor

Pelvic floor trainer from ELANEE

Abdomen, legs, buttocks – training programs for women focus on all sorts of body parts. However, the pelvic floor rarely features in them. Until our first pregnancy, most of us barely give this muscle group a second thought, even though it plays a key role in our lives. But how do I improve something I don't even know where it is or how to activate it in a controlled way? Our pelvic floor training products, along with detailed instructions, guide you through various exercises that help you consciously perceive and strengthen your pelvic floor muscles.

Our pelvic floor trainers support you in every situation: Whether you're young or old, pregnant or going through menopause, a weakened pelvic floor can lead to various problems. With our products and precisely tailored exercises, you can prevent, alleviate, or even eliminate these problems completely. So you can once again fully focus on the wonderful things about being a woman!

Our pelvic floor training products

Our pelvic floor training range includes two types of products: vaginally inserted (invasive) and externally applied (non-invasive) devices, which together form an effective team. These help you rebuild and strengthen your pelvic floor muscles.

Strengthening the pelvic floor: tasks and training levels

With our pelvic floor training products, you can directly target the affected muscle group in four problem-solving steps: from awareness of the pelvic floor muscles to conscious muscle control and muscle building to stabilization. To gradually train and strengthen the three layers of the pelvic floor, combine our ELANEE training aids with the exercises.

Feel the pelvic floor muscles

In the first problem-solving stage, you'll identify your pelvic floor muscles and learn to consciously perceive them. This will help you perform the exercises with precision—experience has shown this to be an important factor for the success of pelvic floor training. Different muscle groups often work together to trigger a specific movement. However, you rarely actively tense the pelvic floor muscles and therefore have no sense of them. In the first stage, you'll learn to differentiate the pelvic floor muscles from other muscle groups.

Use our Phase I active pelvic floor training aids.

These products are a medical device and an approved medical aid, and can be prescribed by a gynecologist or urologist. They are even free of charge for women with stress incontinence.

Conscious muscle control

Now that you've become aware of and activated the muscle group, it's time to learn to consciously control it. In Stage 2, you practice contracting the pelvic floor muscles in a targeted manner without tensing surrounding muscle groups, such as the gluteal muscles. Regular exercises with the Phase I Active pelvic floor training aids ensure this. The training is based on the biofeedback principle. If you find insertion difficult, use the intimate hydrogel.

Build pelvic floor muscles

The third step is to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles through regular training. Targeted exercises can strengthen the different muscle layers of the pelvic floor, similar to weight training. The reflexive contraction of the pelvic floor muscles and the progressive increase in weight ensure effective muscle building.

Our tip: If you can easily hold the heaviest cone from Phase I, use our intimate hydrogel to increase the difficulty! The cones focus on the outer and middle muscle layers. Also, check out our carefully curated exercise program. It will also help you strengthen your pelvic floor, especially the inner layer.

The pelvic floor training aid Phase II is used for long-term follow-up training of the pelvic floor muscles.

Like the Phase I cones, it focuses on the outer and middle layers of the pelvic floor—but through passive stimulation. Two freely swinging balls inside the cone vibrate gently with each movement, thus activating the pelvic floor.

Feel free to use our intimate hydrogel to make inserting the cone easier.

Stabilization

Like any muscle, the pelvic floor muscles will eventually atrophy without training. To stabilize the pelvic floor and permanently counteract stress incontinence, you should regularly check your pelvic floor with the Phase I Kegels. If your muscles have weakened again, start training again. Stabilization is achieved through further pelvic floor exercises—with or without training aids—and the repeated use of the Phase II Kegels.

Everything you need to know about the pelvic floor

What is the pelvic floor?

The pelvic floor is a plate-like structure composed of three layers of muscle and connective tissue. About the size of the palm of your hand, elastic and flat, it is located between the pubic bone, coccyx, and ischial tuberosities. The urethra, vagina, and anus penetrate the pelvic floor muscles.

The outer layer (corpora cavernosa and sphincter layer ) surrounds the urethra and anus like a figure eight. It extends from the pubic bone to the coccyx.

The middle layer (urogenital diaphragm) plays a key role in closing the urethra and contracting the vagina. It lies fan-shaped between the ischial tuberosities in the anterior part of the pelvis and below the bladder.

The inner layer (pelvic diaphragm) forms the center of strength in the midsection of the body—it bears the main weight of the organs. This particularly broad and stable muscle runs from the pubic bone to the coccyx.

What functions does the pelvic floor have?

The functions of the pelvic floor are already hidden in its name: As the floor of the pelvis and abdominal cavity, it bears the brunt of the organs located there. It supports the hips and legs—and ensures that we can stand upright in the first place. This muscle group also controls the closing function of the bowel and bladder. The pelvic floor muscles:

ensures that the bowel and bladder only empty when desired.
holds the internal organs of the abdominal and pelvic cavity.
carries the weight of the child during pregnancy.
is relevant for pain-free sexual intercourse.
stabilizes posture.
tenses reflexively when coughing, sneezing, laughing or carrying heavy objects.

What are the typical symptoms of a weak pelvic floor?

A healthy and strong pelvic floor is very important – but with age, pregnancy, or an unhealthy lifestyle, this muscle group loses strength and elasticity. The consequences of pelvic floor weakness can severely impact quality of life:

Stress incontinence
Urge incontinence
Fecal incontinence or constipation
Pain in the abdomen and/or back
poor posture
Malposition of organs in the abdominal cavity
Uterine or vaginal prolapse
Bladder or bowel prolapse
Perceptual disturbance and disturbance of the sense of pleasure

Stress incontinence means that the pelvic floor muscles can no longer compensate for sudden pressure. When you laugh or cough, this can lead to involuntary bladder emptying or, in rarer cases, bowel movements.

When can I train my pelvic floor?

During pregnancy

During an uncomplicated pregnancy, you can exercise your pelvic floor at any time, as long as you feel comfortable doing so. This will directly prevent any problems that can arise from weakened pelvic floor muscles. The weight of your growing child rests primarily on this muscle group, so strengthening it makes sense.

After birth

Strong and well-trained pelvic floor muscles are crucial for the health and well-being of women of all ages. The Pilates ring is an excellent training tool specifically designed to effectively...
