What is HIEMT Pelvic Floor Therapy?

HIEMT uses focused electromagnetic energy to activate the pelvic floor muscles far beyond what is possible with voluntary exercises alone.

Each treatment produces thousands of powerful muscle contractions, helping retrain and strengthen the muscles that support the bladder, bowel and pelvic organs.

At Elevio, HIEMT is used alongside expert assessment by our pelvic floor physiotherapists and colorectal specialists to provide comprehensive pelvic floor care.

Urinary / Bowel incontinence
