HIFEM Pelvic Floor Treatment at Active Physio
Stronger Pelvic Floor. Better Bladder Control. More Confidence.
At Active Physio, we are proud to offer HIFEM pelvic floor therapy — a non‑invasive, fully clothed treatment that improves the function of the pelvic floor using advanced electromagnetic technology. This treatment is ideal for anyone experiencing bladder leakage, pelvic floor weakness, postpartum changes, or reduced pelvic support.
What Is HIFEM?
HIFEM stands for High‑Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Energy. It works by sending gentle but powerful magnetic pulses into the pelvic floor muscles, causing them to contract automatically.
These contractions are far stronger than what most people can achieve with traditional pelvic floor exercises — even when performed correctly. Helping the nerves that control the bladder, bowel, and pelvic floor send better, calmer, more coordinated signals.
Most pelvic symptoms aren’t caused by “weak muscles” alone — they’re caused by misfiring nerves.
Neuro‑modulation helps fix the communication
In a single 30‑minute session, the HIFEM chair can stimulate the equivalent of thousands of pelvic floor contractions.
How the HIFEM Chair Works
When you sit on the chair, the electromagnetic field:
Reaches deep pelvic floor muscles (up to 10 cm)
Triggers supramaximal contractions — stronger than voluntary Kegels
Improves muscle strength, endurance, and coordination
Retrains the brain–muscle connection essential for bladder control
The HIFEM chair is a magnetic neuro‑modulation device.
In simple terms:
The magnetic field passes through clothing
It activates the pelvic nerves
Those nerves then activate the pelvic floor muscles
The brain receives clearer, stronger signals
Over time, the bladder and pelvic floor “re‑learn” better habits
It’s not just muscle strengthening — it’s neurological retraining.
You remain fully clothed, and the treatment is comfortable, safe, and clinically supported.

HIFEM therapy may help if you experience:
Stress urinary incontinence (leaks with coughing, sneezing, exercise)
