How Your Kegel8

®

 

Go-Tone Works 

The Kegel8

®

 

Go-Tone is one of a new breed of modern 

neuromuscular stimulators developed with the aim of achieving 
optimum pelvic 

fl

oor health for women. 

Kegel8

®

 

Go-Tone works by 

producing electrical pulses 
that stimulate the perineal 
muscles and surrounding 
nerves, particularly the pubo-
coccygeal and pubo-rectal 
muscles. This strengthens 
these muscles and improves 
blood circulation to give 
greater control. 

The programmes on the Kegel8

®

 

Go-Tone are designed to treat 

speci

fi

c pelvic 

fl

oor conditions in 15-50 minute sessions – with a 

perfect balance of working and resting the muscles so you get the 
optimum results in the quickest time. 
Your pelvic 

fl

oor muscles do a lot for you; they support all 

of your pelvic organs, they help stabilise and support your spine, 
they help guide your baby during childbirth, they even contribute to 
your relationship by being responsible for intimate sensation for 
women and erectile function for men. Strengthen and maintain 
these all-important muscles by making the Kegel8

®

 

Go-Tone part of 

your routine.
