insert the probe into your vagina, in
the same way as you would a
tampon, until only the plastic rim at
the base of the probe is visible.
5) The metal parts
electrical pulse and should be in
contact with the main part of the
muscle at all times. The tissues close
to the entrance are more sensitive,
so you should avoid stimulating
them.
Ensure that the probe is aligned so
that the contact plates are to the
sides and the longer sides of the
positioning end rim are vertical.

6) The Liberty Loop probe has a pointer
attachment which enables you to
visually monitor the successfulness
of your pelvic floor contractions (the
probe can be used without the
pointer).
The pointer demonstrates
strength and duration
contraction, whether caused by
stimulation or performed manually.
For example, weak contractions are
defined by little or no movement in
the pointer.
Assemble the pointer and attach to

14.4. TRAINING SESSION

1) Press and hold the POWER button
on the control unit for 3 to 5 seconds
to switch the control unit on.
2) You can select from the five preset
programmes. Details in section 11
will help you identify the best
programme to suit you.
To change
programmes, press the programme
selector.
3) With the required
selected, you can adjust the intensity
of the muscle stimulation until you
reach a comfortable level. Once you
have reached a comfortable level, 5
seconds after you stop pressing the
button, the intermittent work/rest
phase will start. The machine will
take itself to 0 mA for a rest period
and then take itself back up to the
level of intensity you chose, to work
the muscle. This cycle will continue
for the 20 minutes of the programme.
Note: The strength required
varies widely between users -
some will use the Alivia at full
power – 99 mA. The Alivia strength will
go up at 1 mA increments.
