HIPEX:
High Intensity Pelvic EXercise
Regain Bladder Control
with Electromagnetic Muscle Training
Stress Incontinence Treatments In Oxfordshire
Freedom From Stress Incontinence - HIPEX Course of 6 Treatments
The CMSlim™ HIPEX treatment is a next-generation HI-EMT (High-Intensity Electromagnetic Muscle Training) medical device targeted to increase pelvic floor muscle tone and bladder control in those who suffer from stress incontinence. The HIPEX uses a specific range of electromagnetic frequencies that force the pelvic floor muscles to maintain a contracted state for several seconds at a time over a 30-minute treatment, and is the equivalent of 30,000 pelvic floor contractions. With just six simple treatments, you could take back control of your bladder again.
Why choose CMSlim HIPEX for stress urinary incontinence?
✓ CE-marked, medical-grade HI-EMT platform purpose-built to strengthen pelvic-floor muscles and restore bladder control in both women and men
✓ Completely non-invasive “chair” session—stay fully clothed, sit back for 30 minutes and walk out with no downtime or intimate contact
✓ Rapidly rebuilds pelvic-floor strength, giving better urethral support and significantly fewer leakage episodes during coughing, laughing or exercise—often noticeable after just one or two visits
✓ Evidence-based protocol: a course of six 30-minute sessions over 2–3 weeks (about 48 hours apart), then a quick top-up every 6–12 months to keep results at their peak
✓ Painless and comfortable—you feel deep but tolerable muscle pulses; no needles, heat or anaesthetic required
✓ Ideal for postpartum recovery, peri-menopausal women, with the bonus of improved core stability.
✓ Fits neatly into a holistic plan alongside physiotherapist-guided Kegel exercises or other health therapies for long-lasting continence and confidence.

THE SCIENCE OF HI-EMT BODY TREATMENTS
BUILDING MUSCLE TONE AND STRENGTH
During normal pelvic floor exercise (voluntary muscle contractions) the muscles relax between each action as the central nervous system does not have the ability to signal another impulse while one is still in action. Maximal voluntary contractions are the highest amount of tension that can be created and held psychologically under normal conditions and will generally utilise 30% of the muscles ability. CMSlim™ HIPEX treatments produces supra-maximal muscle contraction through electromagnetic impulses, that are independent of brain function, at a rapid rate that doesn’t allow for the relaxation phase. Supra-maximal contractions produced by the CMSlim™ device will utilise 100% of the pelvic muscle ability, 100% of the time, which drastically increases the physiological workload required for muscle strength and growth.
Before
Pelvic floor muscles weakened with lax bladder control
HIPEX Treatment
Stimulates pelvic floor muscles through
an intensive continuous contraction.
After
Contracted muscles restore
the bladder to function properly.
Frequently Asked Questions | HIPEX Stress Incontinence Treatment
-
Stress incontinence is the most common type of incontinence and can affect both men as well as women. It is also the most common type of incontinence that affects younger women. Stress incontinence occurs when pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder and urethra, weaken and put pressure on the bladder and urethra to work harder. With stress incontinence, everyday actions that use the pelvic floor muscles, such as coughing, sneezing, or laughing, can cause you to leak urine. Sudden movements and physical activity can also cause you to leak urine.
-
Pelvic floor weakening can be caused by a variety of reasons, such as pregnancy, childbirth, surgery, menopause, obesity, persistent coughing and asthma.
-
Most people would actually describe the treatment as unusual but pleasant, and it is certainly not described as painful. You will not have control of the muscle contractions as they will be involuntarily stimulated by the HI-EMT pulse, which is why it can feel unusual. The intensity of the treatment is gradually built throughout the treatment, and each treatment programme integrates a stretching, warm up and cool-down exercise so as to reduce any muscle fatigue or discomfort. You will not experience the feeling of exertion during the treatment, and your muscles will most likely feel used, but not abused, the following day or two.
-
Like any medical intervention, there are potential side effects following a CMSlim™ HIPEX treatment; however, these are very mild in nature, such as a tight internal sensation. As part of your consultation with us, you will be advised on these in more detail before you decide to proceed with any treatment. Our practitioners’ training, expertise and experience mean that they will be able to assist you with side effects should you experience them.
-
In order to hyper-stimulate a biological response to change, you will require an initial course of 4-6 treatments over a 2 week period. It is advised that you maintain the muscle tone of your pelvic floor with a single treatment every 6 months to a year, with packages available to maintain your result, depending upon your requirements.
-
Many patients will feel an improvement in pelvic muscle strength and bladder control after just one treatment; however, you will notice the best results around a month after a course of 4-6 treatments delivered over a 2-week period.
-
The effect of duration can vary from person to person and depends upon your medical history and continued pelvic floor exercise following the initial effects. Results could be permanent with at-home efforts to continue exercising the pelvic floor muscles. Alternatively, the treatment can have a continuous benefit with regular maintenance treatments.
-
Yes, although very simple:
-Avoid exercise for 24 hours following a CMSlim™ HIPEX treatment.
-
CMSlim™ HIPEX treatments are “permanent”; however, they can only be considered “permanent” if you are committed to at-home pelvic floor exercises to maintain the pelvic floor muscle tone, or you continue with maintenance CMSlim™ HIPEX treatments. If you do not use the muscle, you will lose its newfound strength and tone. It is similar to working out at the gym to achieve muscle strength (albeit quicker) and then stopping exercise; your muscles will become weaker. It is therefore advised that you maintain at-home pelvic floor exercises and/or book maintenance CMSlim™ HIPEX treatments at least 6 months.
