this over a few days. But remember
there is no hurry, so only increase the
strength of the stimulation as and when
you are comfortable and ready to
progress.
Note: If the sensation becomes
uncomfortable, reduce the
intensity using the button - .
When switched on, in
STRES
and
TONE programmes the unit will go
through an exercise programme for 4-5
seconds, followed by a rest period of 8-
10 seconds. The Elise 2 causes a
sensation which feels like a strong
drawing in of the vagina and pulling up
of the pelvic floor. The natural reaction
will be to pull in and up with the
muscles.
At lower strength settings, you may not
feel any sensation at all, this depends
very much on the individual and any
pre-existing physical conditions, so
slowly increase the intensity by
repeatedly pressing the
+
button until
you begin to feel the muscles around
your vagina contract.
For best results in these programmes
try to contract the pelvic floor muscles
along with the Elise 2 , and to sustain
the contraction into the rest interval. If
possible, link the contraction to your
breathing to get into a gentle rhythm.
Increase the strength as high as it is
comfortable, and then take it back down
one step.
The strength display on the control unit
will reduce to 00.0 mA and flash during
the rest period.
The
URGE programme works
differently. There is no need to have a
contraction. The strength should be
comfortable, but always remain
noticeable. You may need to increase it
over the course of the treatment.
The length of each session is
automatically set to 20 minutes. The
length of each session for muscle
strengthening will also depend on your
ability to contract and your resistance to
fatigue. Be careful not to overuse early
on, as the resulting aches may not be
felt until the next day.
Note: If you experience
cramping, switch the unit off
until the symptoms go away
then continue the session with the
intensity set at a lower level.
Optional skin surface electrode
placement for URGE (this may not be
as effective as the stimulation with
the vaginal probe)
An alternative
method to a
vaginal probe is
to stimulate areas
of the skin that
are close to the
nerves that go to
the bladder and
urethra. These
come from the parts of the spinal cord
segment called S2-S3. See electrode
placement picture above.
The strength should be comfortable,
but always remain noticeable. You may
need to increase it over the course of
the treatment.
