Let's delve into a topic that often flies under the radar... pelvic floor health. It may not be the most glamorous subject, but with studies showing that more than 25 million men and woman in the US face some kind of pelvic floor concerns, it's a conversation we need to have. While it's usually discussed in hushed tones, it's time to bring it into the open. In fact, this issue is widely talked about in mom groups, among our patients and staff, and even on social media. So, we knew the PF Toner Pro by Zimmer MedizinSystems, designed to tone the pelvic floor, was going to be a game changer!
Before we go further, we wanted to give you some insight on the importance of pelvic floor health and what the pelvic floor does for our bodies. Pelvic floor health is crucial because it not only supports core stability, bladder control, and overall well-being. Strong pelvic floor muscles help prevent issues like incontinence (urine and bowel) and pelvic organ prolapse, which can significantly impact quality of life. Maintaining a healthy pelvic floor is essential for both physical and emotional health, particularly for women during and after pregnancy.
PF Toner Pro is a cutting-edge device that uses electromagnetic field energy to strengthen and tone your pelvic floor muscles. Think of it as a machine that causes involuntary Kegels, basically Kegels without doing the exercise yourself. This passive pelvic floor muscle training is great for the treatment of female and male urinary incontinence and may also contribute to additional benefits in intimate health and wellness.
To give you some context our patients that have been receiving pelvic floor treatments range in age, lifestyle, and reasoning for treatment. Ages starting at 27 all the way up to 72 with reasons ranging from “I can’t exercise without having the urge,” “I can’t play with my kids like I want to,” “I’m getting up multiple times a night,” “I pee when I sneeze or cough,” etc. So truly the ideal candidate is anyone concerned with any kind of urinary incontinence. If you know you know!
Here's everything you need to know about PF Toner Pro, with all the details.
Hearing or reading the words "electromagnetic field" or “involuntary contractions” might make you apprehensive, but rest assured there’s no pain involved. It feels similar to a TENS unit physical therapists or chiropractors may use. You’ll definitely feel it working, but there’s no discomfort. Some patients have reported tingling sensation, the feeling of vibrations and tapping.
Post-treatment there is no soreness like if you were to have done a workout. The PF Toner Pro is like doing Kegels without the effort. What sets it apart from home exercises is its ability to penetrate deeper and target muscles that you can't reach on your own.
This surprises everyone, however, it’s one of the best parts about the PF Toner Pro. This device is non-invasive and you remain completely clothed. During each session, you sit on a chair for about 20-30 minutes. Your provider will ensure you're perfectly positioned on the chair for optimal energy penetration. Your provider will also be sure to remind you to remove any items from your pockets and avoid having any metal on or in your body (no copper IUDs or pacemakers). We recommend reading during the treatment, and we provide magazines for our patients to enjoy.
As mentioned earlier in this blog, PF Toner Pro can be suitable for a range of patients. Hence, it isn’t just for women who suffer from incontinence. Younger postpartum moms and women of all ages with pelvic floor issues can benefit as well. It’s also an excellent preventative measure for those starting to notice more frequent bathroom visits or occasional leakage.
Men can also benefit from PF Toner Pro, especially those with incontinence or prostate problems. There’s even some evidence that it can improve erectile dysfunction, though this hasn’t been fully FDA approved.
Our PF Toner Pro patients have not had any negative side effects. The worst-case scenario? You might not see any results—but with the very high success rate we are witnessing in our patients, that is unlikely.
On a positive side effects note, we’ve had a patient on record claiming an increase in sexual pleasure, lubrication and achieving orgasms easier. While these benefits aren’t the primary goal, we are hearing about them more and more!
Your health, your quality of life is priceless. However, there is a financial investment involved that comes with the PF Toner Pro. Pricing is discussed in a 1-on-1 consultation with one of our expert providers. We offer singles sessions and packages of six, packages will get you optimal results, but patients have reported seeing results just after two sessions.
It’s best to assess the ongoing costs you will incur with other treatments, cost of adult briefs and pantyliners versus peace of mind and quality of life you will have after a series of the PF Toner Pro.
Moving forward with treatment is obviously a very personal decision for our patients, so we are here to respect that and help guide you in making the best decision for you! We also have financing options for you to consider as well.
The PF Toner Pro is a remarkable advancement in pelvic floor health, offering a non-invasive, pain-free solution to strengthen and tone muscles that are crucial for overall well-being. With its ability to cater to a diverse range of patients—from young postpartum moms to those dealing with incontinence or prostate issues—this device stands out as a versatile and effective tool. While there is an investment involved, if your pelvic floor isn’t what it used to be, the potential improvements in quality of life and health make it a worthwhile consideration. As always, we’re here to support and guide you in making the best choice for your personal health journey.
