The tick/cross/question mark that appears after each rep for Version 3 users indicates how good your technique was for that rep. Good squeeze technique is vital to improving muscle strength so if you continue to receive crosses you may want to consult a clinician for advice.

= good technique

= suggests improvement needed

= technique performance could not be determined (focus on better technique)

The PeriCoach is designed to assist in performing proper pelvic floor exercises, known to improve muscle strength and endurance leading to reduction or elimination of bladder leaks as well as improve sexual satisfaction. Just as with all forms of exercise, consistency is key and progress may occur at different rates based on your starting circumstances. Women exercising an average of 5 sessions a week report improvements as early as 4 weeks. However, if you have an underlying condition or your incontinence is not due to a weak pelvic floor, you may need to seek alternative treatment.

The PeriCoach is safe to use during a normal pregnancy as it does not deliver any energy into the body. If you have an unstable pregnancy, or if your doctor has advised you against sexual activity during your pregnancy you should not use the PeriCoach whilst pregnant.

You may share your data a couple of ways: print performance history from your User Portal or connect directly with your clinician through your Portal.

• To print performance history, select "Print Page" at the top right corner of the Exercise History, PeriTrack Results or each session details.
• To share your exercise data with a preferred clinician, they must first be registered as a PeriCoach Provider, which they can do via https://my.pericoach.com/register/newclinician. Once this is completed you may search and select to Authorise next to their name under the Clinician Details section of your User Portal. Your clinician will then need to accept your connection request in their Clinician Portal.

Yes. Holding your breath can cause abdominal muscles to contract and increase intra-vaginal pressure which may result in skewing your pelvic floor muscle performance. Consciously inhale, exhale then breathe normally as you press start on an exercise session, and squeeze and lift your pelvic floor muscles as guided by the programmed sessions.
