Should I buy a "Kegel" machine?

Hello Friends,


Pelvic floor therapy is NOT all about kegels, but having a coordinated pelvic floor can be helpful for some people. Dr. Mora and her team recommend coming in for a pelvic floor muscle assessment to see how your pelvic muscles are working and create an individualized plan of care before jumping straight to just kegels.

Some people still ask if they should buy a pelvic floor muscle trainer. Our answer...if your pelvic floor therapist wants you doing pelvic floor muscle contraction exercises, this can be a helpful tool for biofeedback of what the pelvic floor is doing. It is ONE component of treatment, and not a replacement to a skilled therapist walking you through your personalized journey.


When appropriate, Dr. Mora likes to recommend a Perifit pelvic muscle trainer. This is a device designed to help individuals strengthen their pelvic floor muscles through interactive exercises and biofeedback. Someone might need a Perifit pelvic muscle trainer to strengthening the pelvic floor, manage urinary leakage, aid in postpartum recovery, improve sexual appreciation, assist with pelvic organ prolapse, learn pelvic muscle coordination and stay motivated to do their home exercise program.


If you're wondering if a Perifit is right for you, check in with your pelvic floor therapist at your next visit. You can use the link below to get our practice discount if you're looking to buy one.

Perfectly Yours,
