EDUCATOR®Instruction Manual - GB
What is the EDUCATOR®?
The EDUCATOR®has been developed from the award-winning PERIFORM®+
probe used by Continence Care specialists throughout the world.
Its unique form allows it to follow the movement of the internal walls of the
vagina. This movement indicates how the muscles of your pelvic floor are
being contracted.
The external indicator part of the EDUCATOR®amplifies this movement to
show whether these muscles are being contracted correctly or not.
The pelvic floor EDUCATOR®is an extremely simple form of visual biofeedback.
Yet the information the EDUCATOR®provides could be some of the most
valuable you will ever receive.
Why are good contractions important?
One in four women will suffer some form of incontinence during their life –
especially after having children.
The most common form of incontinence is known as Stress Incontinence,
which occurs when pressure inside the abdomen increases, say, during
a cough, sneeze, or when laughing or taking physical exercise.
The problem is primarily caused by the inability of the pelvic floor muscles
to contract quickly or strongly enough to prevent leakage through the urethra.
It is widely known that a strong, healthy pelvic floor, when used correctly,
will help avoid leakage of urine and also faeces.
Why is the EDUCATOR®important?
It is recognised by Continence Care specialists that teaching correct pelvic floor
contractions is extremely difficult. Studies have shown that, even with first-class one-
to-one tuition, half of those instructed will not contract their pelvic floors correctly.
In fact, almost half of those contracting incorrectly will get it so wrong that they
are in danger of damaging their pelvic floor.
What is the pelvic floor?
The pelvic floor is a ‘sling’ of muscles that is connected to the pubic bone
at the front and base of the spine (the coccyx) at the back. Through these
muscles pass the urethra, the anus and, in the female, the vagina.

By contracting your pelvic
floor, pressure within the
urethra, anus, and vagina
increases. In the urethra and
anus, this increase in pressure
will help restrict the flow of
urine and faeces.

contraindications.
