to what physical therapists are saying about progressive
muscle training with the FPT
"...The one
very specific reason I use the FPT is for compliance.
It’s easy to get your patients to exercise for the 6-12
weeks when you are monitoring their program with biofeedback
and manual muscle testing. But what about 6 months or
2 years from now? Just like any other exercise program,
it is difficult to stick with it. I also feel it is
unrealistic to think about your pelvic floor all day.
Women today have busy lives working inside and outside
the home and taking care of children and grandchildren.
The FPT allows the flexibility to perform your exercise
daily or every other day and for only 5 to 10 minutes.
I am finding that people are increasing in strength
with a once a day exercise program of only 5 to 10 minutes."

"The Feminine
Personal Trainer has been able to pull in deeper layers
of muscle fiber which enhances pelvic floor muscle proprioception
and strengthening. My patients are encouraged by this
tool which allows them to be more active in their rehabilitation
programs."
Andrea Sanfield, P.T.
"I LOVE the
FPT! I am a physical therapist in private practice specializing
in pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. For years I have
been frustrated by the lack of effective progressive
weight training for the pelvic floor muscles. My poor
patients had to perform such an excessive number of
repetitions of Kegel contractions in order to build
strength, since in actuality they were limited by this
isometric and calisthenics type of exercise. I really
feel the FPT is long overdue in the rehabilitation of
the pelvic floor muscles… I have some patients that
plateaued with biofeedback and electrical stimulation
who noted significant strength gains after using the
FPT. Don’t get me wrong, biofeedback and electrical
stimulation are still wonderful treatments, but the
combined use of all three, plus patient education and
bladder training has been very effective for my practice."
Kathleen Novicki, P.T.
