FAQ / Extra Information to Support Your PelviPower Screening Form
This page is designed to help you understand some of the screening questions you are asked before using the PelviPower chair.
If anything here feels unclear or you’re unsure how it applies to you, please speak to us or check with your GP before proceeding.
Pregnancy & Trying to Conceive
PelviPower uses electromagnetic stimulation and is not suitable during pregnancy or if you are actively trying to conceive.
Coil / IUD
PelviPower can usually be used by individuals with an IUD/coil. However, as it uses electromagnetic stimulation, we cannot guarantee that the position of the IUD will remain unchanged. In rare cases, this could affect contraceptive effectiveness.
If you rely on an IUD for contraception, we recommend:
-
Using additional contraception during PelviPower training, and
-
Having your IUD checked by your GP or practice nurse before relying on it again.
Metal Inside the Body
We are concerned about metal inside the body and within the PelviPower chair’s seated treatment area.
Examples include:
-
Spinal or hip implants
-
Knee replacements within 10 cm above the knee (most knee replacements are fine, as they do not sit this high)
-
Metal clips, screws, rods, or wires in the pelvis or spine
If you are unsure whether your implant falls within the treatment area, please check with us or your GP.
Electronic Implants & Devices
PelviPower may interfere with electronic implants or devices, including:
-
Cardiac pacemakers or defibrillators
-
Neurostimulators
-
Insulin or medication pumps
-
Cochlear implants (some models require medical clearance)
If you have any implanted electronic device, the PelviPower chair is not suitable for you.
Heart Conditions
The stimulation may place additional demand on the cardiovascular system and could interfere with unstable heart rhythm control. PelviPower should only be considered once a heart condition is stable and appropriately managed. Well-managed heart conditions are generally suitable. If unsure, please check with your GP.
Epilepsy
Magnetic stimulation may increase seizure risk. If you have epilepsy, PelviPower is not recommended unless you have been medically cleared.
Cancer & Pre-Cancerous Conditions
PelviPower increases circulation and cellular activity. As a precaution, and because large-scale medical trials are not possible in this area, there is currently insufficient evidence to confirm the safety of electromagnetic stimulation for individuals with:
-
Active cancer
-
Recent cancer treatment
-
Current pre-cancerous conditions
-
Ongoing cancer investigation
This applies to all cancer types, including skin cancers.
If you have previously had cancer or pre-cancerous cells and have been medically discharged from care, PelviPower is generally considered suitable. As a general guideline, being medically cleared and out of follow-up for 5 years is commonly regarded as the gold standard for no longer being within a monitoring period. If unsure, please check with your GP before proceeding.
Tattoos
We are only concerned about tattoos within the seated treatment area, and only very old tattoos (typically from the 1960s–1970s, often done outside the UK). Older inks sometimes contained heavy metals (such as lead), which may react to magnetic fields. Modern, regulated tattoos are absolutely fine and are not a contraindication.
External Metal (Clothing & Jewellery)
Metal jewellery, piercings, and menstrual underwear containing metal fibres must be removed before treatment, as metal can warm slightly during magnetic stimulation and this is the main area of activity. Small amounts of metal elsewhere (such as buttons, zips, underwire bras, or dental braces) are generally fine, as they sit outside the field of activity.
Recent Surgery
Your body needs time to heal before using PelviPower safely. Recent surgery may mean PelviPower is temporarily unsuitable.
Mesh / Tape Surgery
Healing tissues and surgical materials can be affected by magnetic stimulation, particularly if any part contains metal. Most modern mesh and tape procedures use synthetic (non-metal) materials, which are fine once fully healed. If you are unsure what material was used or whether healing is complete, please check with your GP.
Hearing Aids
Hearing aids should be removed during treatment due to the magnetic field. If you can remove them, please do so and leave them on the table away from the chair during your session.
Blood-Thinning Medication
This question refers to prescribed blood-thinning or anticoagulant medication (for example, warfarin, apixaban, rivaroxaban, dabigatran, or similar). Most people taking blood-thinning medication can use PelviPower safely. However, increased circulation may increase the risk of bruising or tenderness for some individuals. Please check with your GP before proceeding.
Urinary Tract Infection (UTI)
PelviPower should not be used if you currently have a UTI. The stimulation can increase pelvic floor activity and local blood flow, which may worsen irritation or discomfort. Treatment should resume only once the infection has fully cleared.
Painful Haemorrhoids
PelviPower should not be used if you have painful haemorrhoids, as sitting on the chair and muscle stimulation can increase pressure and blood flow in the area. Please wait until symptoms have settled before resuming treatment.
Fever or Acute Illness
If you have a fever or are feeling unwell, your body needs rest. PelviPower is not recommended until you are fever-free and feeling better.
