Your pelvic floor supports your posture, your control and your pleasure
Strengthening it means more freedom and wellbeing at every stage of life. 22 minutes seated, fully clothed and painless. Intue Pelvix works the pelvic floor through electromagnetic stimulation, in the same studio where you train.
What it is
A chair that activates the pelvic floor through neural stimulation
Pelvix generates an electromagnetic field that triggers deep contractions of the pelvic floor muscles, far stronger and more numerous per session than you could achieve voluntarily. You sit down and the chair does the work.
22 minutes per session
One to three times a week, depending on your phase.
Fully clothed
No need to undress or prepare. You arrive, sit down and leave.
Painless
It is non-invasive and does not hurt. You feel the contraction, nothing more.
No downtime
You walk out and carry on with your day as normal. It can be combined with your class.
What it is for
Strengthening and improving pelvic floor function
To prevent, to improve and to recover. These are the situations where it can help.
Urinary incontinence
Improving bladder control and reducing unwanted urine leakage.
Postpartum recovery
Restoring pelvic tone and function after childbirth.
Sexual satisfaction
It can support greater sensitivity and pleasure in intimate moments.
Pelvic stability
Helping to prevent pelvic organ prolapse and maintain overall pelvic health.
Bladder control
Reducing urinary frequency and urgency.
Sexual performance
It can help improve erection firmness, control and libido.
Prostate health
Support in recovery after prostate surgery and in maintaining pelvic health.
Core stability
Strengthening the deep core, helping to prevent back pain and improve physical performance.
Who it is for
You don't need a problem to start
In fact, half of the people who come do so as prevention. These are the most common situations.
After childbirth
Rebuilding your foundation before returning to intense training. What happens to the pelvic floor after childbirth is rarely explained well enough.
Even if you are strong
Running, jumping or lifting weights without leaks. You do not need a condition to benefit from it.
Peri and postmenopause
The changes of this stage also affect the pelvic floor. Preventing now saves repairing later.
Staying independent
Keeping control, without depending on where the nearest toilet is.
From 45 onwards
Bladder control, prostate health and performance. Work that is rarely talked about and makes a real difference.
The process
Three phases, and you always know where you are
The programme is not open-ended: it has a beginning, a development stage and a maintenance stage. It is adjusted in your first session to your starting point.
Activate
Four sessions. Waking up and reconnecting muscles that often have not been working properly for years.
Train
Four sessions. Progressively increasing pelvic floor strength and endurance.
Maintain
Eight sessions. Consolidating your progress and spacing out sessions without losing what you have achieved.
How it fits in
Come just for Pelvix, or add it to what you already do
Pelvix is a stand-alone service: you do not need to be a studio member or have a membership to use it. It is booked per session or as a pack, and managed separately.
And if you already train with us, it fits perfectly: reformer and strength work need a pelvic foundation that responds, especially if you do impact work or lift weights.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
No. You will feel your pelvic floor contracting, which is an unusual sensation the first time but not uncomfortable. The intensity is adjusted with you throughout the session.
No. You sit on the chair fully clothed. It is non-invasive and requires no preparation.
It depends on your starting point. The full programme is 16 sessions over three phases, but at your first visit we assess your situation and tell you what makes sense for you.
One to three times a week, depending on the phase. As each session lasts 22 minutes, most people fit them in before or after their class, or during a work break.
Not during pregnancy. After childbirth, you need to wait until you have been signed off and follow your midwife’s or doctor’s advice. Write to us and we will help you work out when it would make sense to start.
Yes. In some situations, for example if you have metal implants or electronic devices such as a pacemaker, it is not suitable. That is why we always ask a few health questions before your first session.
No. It is muscle strengthening work, not a treatment. If you have a diagnosis or are seeing a specialist physiotherapist, the best approach is for us to work in coordination with them.
No. There is a specific programme for men, especially from 45 onwards, for bladder control, prostate health and performance.
