Product Information

Slovak, M., Chapple, C. R., & Barker, A. T. (2015). Non-invasive transcutaneous electrical stimulation in the treatment of overactive bladder. Asian Journal of Urology, 2(2), 92-101. One large electrode over the sacrum, i.e. the large, triangular bone at the base of the spine and above the coccyx The area between the pads is large enough to cover and stimulate all the motor nerves and sympathetic nerve fibres in question. The pelvic floor muscles are situated at the bottom of the pelvis, in a roughly horizontal orientation to support the pelvic and abdominal organs. There are two openings in men: one to allow the urethra to pass through on its way from the bladder to the penis and the other at the anus. Diagnosis So the smaller the electrode, the more concentrated the current and should be used forsmaller areas.

Caution: Insertion of the vaginal or anal electrode makes it unsuitable for use in children without clinical supervision If your aim is to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles then the Stress/SUI programs should generally have the correct parameters to start you off on. Please do not use electrical stimulation devices during pregnancy or in the presence of active cancerous growth.* This is one of the main ways you can manipulate the program to make it more user friendly. Pre-set programs have set ramps. Make sure the machine you buy allows you to change the ramp if you want the best effect. EMS is an acronym for Electrical Muscle Stimulation. EMS is a well-established method for treatment of pelvic floor weakness as it stimulates the nerves supplying the pelvic floor muscles to contract. These muscle contractions retrain the muscles, increase their effectiveness and improve their condition to build strength and tone, allowing users to develop their own muscle control

Incontinence affects 1 in 4 Australians. Pelvic Floor TENS machines can help treat this issue for both men and women. TENS pelvic floor devices help strengthen and tone the pelvic floor muscles to overcome urge, stress and mixed incontinence for both men and women following either birth, menopause, or prostate surgery. Supporting the organs within the pelvic region, including the bladder, rectum, and uterus (only in women).

During pregnancy, your pelvic floor works overtime to support your ever-changing weight, while the hormone relaxin softens and stretches the muscles, ligaments and tendons surrounding your baby to make space for a safe delivery. This can lead to a weak pelvic floor, which can sometimes last for months or even years after giving birth. Like weight training in the gym, these are designed to strengthen and tone your pelvic floor muscles, but require physical effort on your part. Urinary incontinence is common in men who have had surgery or radiation treatment for prostate cancer. Medical science continues to improve treatments to reduce the risk and extent of post-surgery and post-radiation incontinence.

AUTHORITY PRESCRIPTION

This unit will also run on a rechargeable 9V battery, please followinstructions in the manual for use. Safety duration override – unit will turn off after 20 minutes to ensure the pelvic floor muscle is not overworked Involuntary muscle fibres cannot be exercised manually - they are controlled by the autonomic nervous system via parasympathetic fibres (the brain does not have control of them at all). This factor is critical in some cases of incontinence, because the pelvic floor contains several involuntary muscles:

When electrical stimulation is applied to the body, it creates a flow or current of electrically charged particles, which in turn creates physiological changes in the tissue through which the charge flows. Therefore if you apply electrical stimulation to the pelvic floor muscles, you can create changes in these muscles.The beauty of TENS machines is that you control the amount and frequency of the pain relief so you can use it as much or as little as you need to during labour. Can a TENS machine be harmful?

Ischiocavernosus muscle - helps maintain penile erection and stabilizes the erect penis, by retarding blood from flowing out of erectile tissue

Although each programme is set for 20 minutes, it’s simple enough to change should you have less time available. By-passes the autonomic nervous system and applies direct electrical stimulation to sympathetic nerve fibresLow frequencies can also calm the nerves controlling the bowel and gut contractions can be reduced in cases of faecal urgency. When neural pathways are compromised or "lazy", they do not respond well to attempts at manual exercise
