6) Repeat the whole process three or

7) Over a period of time try to increase

between each squeeze for longer
periods.
squeezes are better than a series of
weak ones.
Do not worry if you find holding for 3
seconds difficult at first. Just squeeze
for as long as you feel comfortable to do
so. The more exercise you do, the
stronger the muscles will become and
the longer you will be able to squeeze.

Stimulation and has successfully been
used in medical rehabilitation and
training in competitive sports. EMS
produces
muscular contraction.
OF
In rehabilitation, EMS is a well-
established method for treatment of a
broad field
diagnoses as well as pelvic floor
weakness. Electrical stimulation of an
intact peripheral nervous system may
create motor responses in patients with
impaired or lost ability for voluntary
muscle activity.
EMS is a complement to other physical
therapy and

Kegel exercises (see section 4.2.).
