INTRODUCTION
GyneFlexTM with VTPTM helps you gain
control over your life and your health. VTPTM is a Vaginal Tightening Program that treats
urinary incontinence, reduces age-related vaginal weakening, tightens
postpartum vaginal stretching and enhances sexual response. By committing to
a regular GyneFlexTM exercise program you may find that you will obtain
noticeable improvement in as little as three weeks time. GyneFlexTM is
anatomically correct, comfortable and easy to use.
HELPFUL HINTS
- Initially once you have comfortably inserted the GyneFlexTM, put your index finger between the two
handles and squeeze. You should be able to feel the handles closing around your fingertip, confirming that you
are doing the exercise properly. If you are not sure you are pulling up and squeezing the right muscles take
a hand mirror and watch while you try your exercise.
- Always wash your GyneFlexTM after each use.
- Breathe & Relax, doing these exercises will enhance your health.
- Try putting on a relaxation tape or listen to your favorite music.
- If you find that you feel any soreness, remember that the vagina will not be sore, it's the
surrounding muscles in your pelvis that you have been working, so simply skip a day or two and allow the muscles
a chance to recuperate. Lower abdominal muscle soreness or buttock soreness are due to unintentionally contracting
the wrong muscles. Try to isolate and exercise the muscles surrounding the vagina only. If you are unsure insert
2 fingers into the vagina and spread them wide apart, then try to squeeze them together. This should become easier
as your muscles become stronger. Note: re-education, or contracting the right muscles, may be very difficult if
you have had birth related muscle over stretching, surgical scarring or atrophy from prolonged disuse. EMG
biofeedback maybe needed to teach you how to pull up and squeeze the right muscles.
- You cannot over exercise.
EXERCISE NOTES
To do GyneFlexTM exercises properly it is important to isolate the pelvic floor
muscles. The pelvic floor muscles are voluntary muscles. This means that we
can control them. Click on Pelvic Floor Muscles for a diagram to assist you
in locating these muscles.
When doing your GyneFlexTM exercises try to keep you body relaxed. DO NOT tighten the
muscles in your abdomen, buttocks or legs. To monitor the use of these muscles, place
one hand on your abdomen and one on your thigh. If you feel your abdomen or your thigh
move you are incorrectly using these muscles.
We have created an exercise log which will help you maintain a regular exercise routine.
