New Moms

Menopausal Women

Athena for New Mothers

The weight and pressure of pregnancy can cause the pelvic floor muscles to weaken.

During pregnancy, the bladder and urethra may shift to give more room to your growing baby.

Vaginal delivery can further weaken the pelvic floor.

These elements are the primary causes for bladder control problems among new mothers.

With regular use of just a few minutes a day the Athena PMT can help you to regain your previous pelvic floor tone and muscle strength.

Bladder control problems caused by pregnancy and childbirth may appear immediately, or may happen months or sometimes even years after childbirth.

While incontinence that occurs immediately after childbirth is considered normal, bladder problems that last longer than six weeks after delivery are a cause for concern. In both cases, strengthening the musculature of the pelvic floor is the doctor-recommended route to regaining continence.

Athena for Athletes

By some estimates, up to one third of all serious female athletes have experienced incontinence.

High-impact sports increase the pressure in the abdomen and jar the bladder. Over time and with regular impact, the pelvic floor muscles become stretched and cannot support the bladder and urethra properly.

The Athena PMT allows athletes suffering from incontinence to rebuild the weakened pelvic floor and bring the urinary tract back into supported balance. 

 

Athena for Menopausal Women

The paired effects of aging and menopause can cause incontinence in older women.

With age comes a general loss of muscle strength. Menopause causes estrogen levels to drop, which affects the muscle tone of the pelvic and vaginal area, causing weakened pelvic floor muscles.

This hormonal loss of tone lcan lead to incontinence and other issues.

The Athena PMT allows menopausal women suffering from incontinence to rebuild the weakened pelvic floor and bring the urinary tract back into supported balance.

It gently stimulates the pelvic floor muscles, providing a discreet and affordable way to regain your previous pelvic floor tone and strength in just a few minutes a day.
