What is the Better Pelvi Chair?
The Better Pelvi Chair uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles more fully than voluntary contractions alone for many people.
During a single session, the chair causes thousands of deep pelvic floor contractions, helping strengthen muscles that support:
- The bladder
- The bowel
- The uterus (in women)
- The pelvic floor muscles in men, including those affected by prostate surgery
- The core and pelvis
Unlike traditional pelvic floor exercises (Kegels), no effort is required from you. Simply sit fully clothed in the chair while the treatment works.

What Can the Better Pelvi Chair Help With?
Many people experience pelvic floor dysfunction without realising effective treatment is available.
The Better Pelvi Chair may help people experiencing:
Urinary Incontinence
- Bladder leakage when coughing or sneezing
- Leaking during exercise or running
- Urgency to reach the toilet
- Frequent urination
- Mild bladder control issues
Pelvic Floor Weakness
- Following pregnancy and childbirth
- After menopause
- Age-related muscle weakness
- Reduced pelvic stability
Core Weakness
The pelvic floor forms part of your body’s natural core alongside your:
- Diaphragm
- Deep abdominal muscles
- Multifidus muscles
- Pelvic floor
Improving pelvic floor function can contribute to improved core stability and support.
Men's Pelvic Health
Pelvic floor strengthening may benefit men experiencing pelvic floor weakness, and it is sometimes used to support recovery of the pelvic floor muscles following prostate surgery, where clinically appropriate. It does not treat the prostate itself.
A consultation helps determine whether this treatment is suitable for your individual circumstances.

Benefits of Better Pelvi Treatment
Patients choose Better Pelvi because it offers:
- Completely non-invasive treatment
- No surgery
- No injections
- No internal examination during treatment
- No downtime
- Comfortable sessions
- Fully clothed treatment
- Suitable for both women and men
- Fast 28-minute appointments
How Does It Work?
The Better Pelvi Chair delivers precisely controlled electromagnetic energy that stimulates the nerves supplying the pelvic floor muscles.
These repeated muscle contractions help:
- Strengthen weakened muscles
- Improve muscle coordination
- Enhance neuromuscular control
- Increase pelvic floor endurance
Many patients find they are unable to perform an effective pelvic floor contraction themselves, making technology-assisted strengthening particularly valuable.
What Does Treatment Feel Like?
Most patients describe the sensation as a strong but comfortable muscle contraction.
You remain fully clothed throughout the appointment and simply sit on the chair while the treatment is delivered.
There is no recovery period, allowing you to return immediately to normal daily activities.
How Many Sessions Will I Need?
Your chiropractor or pelvic health practitioner will recommend a treatment programme based on your assessment.
Many protocols involve multiple sessions over several weeks to allow progressive strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles.
Results vary between individuals depending on factors including muscle weakness, lifestyle and overall health.
Who is Suitable?
The Better Pelvi Chair may be suitable for adults experiencing:
- Stress urinary incontinence
- Urge urinary incontinence
- Pelvic floor weakness
- Reduced pelvic stability
- Post-pregnancy pelvic weakness
- Age-related muscle weakness
- Core weakness
During your consultation we will assess your symptoms, medical history and goals to determine whether Better Pelvi is appropriate for you.
Who Should Not Have Better Pelvi Treatment?

- Certain metal implants around the pelvis

FAQ's
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Better Pelvi painful?
No. Most patients find the treatment comfortable and describe it as repetitive muscle contractions.
Do I need to remove my clothes?
No. Treatment is performed fully clothed.
How long is each appointment?
Treatment typically lasts around 28 minutes.
Is there any downtime?
No. You can return to normal activities immediately afterwards.
Can men use the Better Pelvi Chair?
Yes. The treatment is suitable for both men and women where clinically appropriate.
Is it better than doing Kegel exercises?
Many people struggle to correctly activate their pelvic floor muscles. The Better Pelvi Chair delivers thousands of supramaximal contractions in a single session, which may achieve a greater training stimulus than many people can produce voluntarily. It should be considered part of a broader pelvic floor rehabilitation programme rather than a replacement for professional assessment or exercise where indicated.
