The pelvic floor muscles support your organs and control continence. However, natural body aging, childbirth and menopause can cause the muscles to decondition resulting in continence problems such as leaking urine when coughing or sneezing.
The ALTHEA treatment uses HI-FREQUENCY ELECTRO MAGNETIC Energy (HI-FEM) to stimulate and strengthen all the pelvic floor muscles, not just the subset that can be exercised with voluntary contractions (Kegel exercises). These stronger pelvic floor muscles restore continence and the confidence to enjoy normal daily activities without fear of losing bladder control.
During each 30-minute session you sit comfortably on the ALTHEA CHAIR while it generates thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions. Each session is equivalent to doing 12,000 pelvic floor exercises but without the hard work!
The procedure is non-invasive, and you remain fully clothed throughout. No drugs or pain the most you will feel is a type of vibration during the treatment. With no recovery time needed you can leave immediately after each session and resume normal daily activity.
Clients normally have a course of eight sessions over a period of three to four weeks to see optimum results, with most people seeing and feeling results after just two or three treatment sessions.
