Press Visit
Last week I finished my sixth and final session of the Pelvic Floor Chair strengthening treatment with Beauty Sculpting Room in Lymington and I wanted to share with you my experience. Let me start by saying that I have had three children in my twenties, all natural births and now that I am approaching my mid-thirties, I have definitely been able to tell that my pelvic floor wasn’t as good as it once was. I wasn’t at the stage of having accidents when I jumped/coughed etc but I did notice that I needed to go to the toilet more often than was strictly necessary, and if I woke up in the middle of the night I would need to use the toilet as otherwise I wouldn’t be able to get myself back to sleep again.
I also noticed that during sex with a partner, it wouldn’t feel quite as good as it did when I was younger, especially before I had the children, and I was a little self conscious wondering if it made a difference for the man as well. I had even been discussing potential surgery as my pelvic floor was quite bad after the birth of my second child, and the only reason the hospital didn’t proceed was because I wasn’t sure if I was done having kids (which it turned out I wasn’t as I had my third a few years later).
When Stacey offered me the chance to review the Pelvic Floor Chair at Beauty Sculpting Room’s Lymington branch, I was really intrigued to find out what it was like and whether it would make any difference. I have had previous treatments at the clinic so I knew I would be in good hands, and that the treatments really help to boost your confidence so I was looking forward to my first session on the chair.
I was welcomed in and shown to the room where I was having my sessions. I had already filled in the pre-treatment consultation online, otherwise I would have gone through this first. The room is fairly small but not uncomfortably so (I’m claustrophobic and was absolutely fine in there with the door closed), with a beautiful mural on the wall and a light giving an intimate and safe atmosphere. The chair itself is fairly large and comfortable to sit on. You are advised on how to sit in it to make sure that the electro-magnetic waves are hitting the right spot (basically you step onto the footstool in front of the chair with your legs hip width apart, feet pointed slightly turned out and lower yourself down onto the chair so that the handy bullseye is underneath your perineum). Stacey advised for me to basically lift up each bumcheek to ensure I was positioned correctly and this really helped.
The chair is turned on and can go on two different settings (depending on whether you have incontinence issues or are just trying to improve your pelvic floor overall), and can then go to different levels on these settings as well. I went on the highest for the overall pelvic floor health setting and it was completely bearable, not painful, just took a little getting used to. I found the in between parts more disconcerting (as I mentioned in my review of the Tesla Toning treatment, which this is essentially very similar to, just working on a different area of the body to tone). You sit and read a magazine (they have a selection available) or a book if you’d rather bring one along. It is not advisable to go on your phone for prolonged periods of time due to the risks as the machine uses electromagnetic waves. The treatments are 28 minutes long and the time honestly flew by!
After my first session I knew what to expect and I was literally in and out of there within half hour each time. I was able to sit and chill out, safe in the knowledge that the chair was working its magic underneath me. I would readjust my position throughout if I felt it wasn’t quite in the right spot and by the third session I could definitely tell that something was happening. I felt that my pelvic floor had started to improve by this point and I no longer felt like I needed to head to the toilet so much, especially if I woke in the middle of the night. In fact my sleep has improved dramatically as I am not waking in the night needing to go.
Having had the three kids, I was self conscious when it came to being intimate with my partner at times, but since this treatment I am so much more confident and both myself and him can tell that there is a difference. I am enjoying myself so much more, the sensations are much stronger for us both and my orgasms are stronger and longer as well, it’s fantastic!
Having now finished the six sessions, I found the whole experience so comfortable, hassle free and discreet. The private room gave me that extra level of security but the treatment is non-invasive, so I didn’t feel uncomfortable or awkward at any point. The chair isn’t painful to use, and I actually enjoyed the higher setting as I could literally feel it working by the last couple of sessions (like really feel it!).
Honestly I couldn’t recommend it more – if you are struggling with your pelvic floor or just want to enjoy being with a partner more, you should definitely give it a go. Get in touch with Beauty Sculpting Room today and discuss your treatment plan!
I was provided with six sessions free of charge in exchange for coverage across social media, however all words and images are my own.
