HIPEX™ Chair Adelaide — Pelvic Floor Strengthening & Women’s Wellness

What Is the HIPEX™ Chair?

The HIPEX™ Chair is an advanced, non-invasive treatment designed to strengthen the pelvic floor — the muscle group behind bladder control, core stability and overall wellness. You simply sit, fully clothed, while focused electromagnetic energy works the pelvic floor far harder than you ever could on your own. No surgery, nothing internal, no downtime — you walk straight back into your day.

Pregnancy, childbirth, age and hormonal change all place strain on the pelvic floor, and as it weakens it can show up as:

• Urinary leakage, especially with laughing, coughing, sneezing or exercise
• Reduced bladder control
• Weakened core strength
• A loss of comfort or confidence

HIPEX™ is designed to help improve these by rebuilding pelvic floor strength — whether you’re recovering after a baby or simply looking after your long-term pelvic health. It also pairs naturally with our CMSlim® body sculpting: CMSlim® builds muscle and helps reduce fat across the body, while the HIPEX™ chair strengthens and retrains the pelvic floor — a true dual-powerhouse approach that takes pelvic and whole-body strength to the next level.

How It Works — and Why It Beats Kegels

The chair produces a pulsed, high-intensity focused magnetic field that passes harmlessly through clothing, skin and fat to reach the motor nerves of the pelvic floor. Those nerves fire, and the muscles respond with supramaximal contractions — contractions deeper and more complete than you can produce by voluntary effort. Over a 30-minute session that’s thousands of these contractions, with no relaxation between them, which is what forces the muscle to adapt, thicken and strengthen.

This is the difference from Kegel exercises. A voluntary squeeze recruits only part of the muscle, and it relies on correct technique — something many women find hard to get right without guidance. The electromagnetic field doesn’t depend on technique at all: it activates the muscle directly and consistently, every session. The result is stronger, better-coordinated pelvic floor muscles, which is the foundation for everything else on this page.

Who It’s Designed For

HIPEX™ is indicated for pelvic floor muscle strengthening, and it’s suited to women at several stages of life:

• After childbirth. Pregnancy and delivery stretch and weaken the pelvic floor. HIPEX™ helps rebuild that strength without anything internal. As a general guide it’s suitable from 3 months after a vaginal birth or 6 months after a caesarean — confirmed at consultation.
• Through perimenopause and menopause. Hormonal change reduces muscle tone and tissue health. This is a stage where the clinical evidence for electromagnetic strengthening is particularly encouraging.
• For bladder control. Leaks when you laugh, cough, sneeze or exercise are common and respond well to a stronger pelvic floor. HIPEX™ is designed to help improve bladder control by strengthening and retraining the supporting muscles.
• For everyday confidence and intimate wellness. A strong, coordinated pelvic floor supports core stability and may support intimate wellness and quality of life.

What the Clinical Evidence Shows

Pelvic floor electromagnetic stimulation is one of the better-studied non-invasive options for bladder control. We think it’s important to show you the real research — and its limits — rather than headline numbers:

• A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis in Neurourology and Urodynamics (Yang et al., 24 studies) found significant improvement in urinary incontinence symptoms and quality of life with extracorporeal magnetic stimulation compared with control groups. The same review was careful to note the benefit is clearest for incontinence specifically, not for overactive bladder or chronic pelvic pain.
• A 2021 meta-analysis in Therapeutic Advances in Urology (Sun et al.) and a 2021 systematic review in the Journal of Clinical Medicine (Lukanović et al.) both concluded that magnetic stimulation is an effective, non-invasive conservative option for female stress urinary incontinence.
• A 2025 systematic review in the Journal of Clinical Medicine (Sacarin et al.) of chair-based magnetic stimulation in women with incontinence reported a 74.4% reduction in incontinence severity at 12 weeks, alongside measurable gains in sexual function scores.

The honest summary: the evidence consistently supports electromagnetic stimulation for strengthening the pelvic floor and improving bladder control, with a good safety profile. Most studies are small, and researchers rightly call for larger trials — so we talk about what studies report, not guaranteed outcomes. Your suitability and likely benefit are assessed individually with Zeda.

Pelvic Floor & Intimate Wellness

The same muscles that support the bladder are central to sexual response, so it follows that strengthening them may support intimate wellness. A 2024 randomised controlled trial in postmenopausal women found electromagnetic stimulation combined with pelvic floor training significantly outperformed pelvic floor exercises alone for both muscle strength and sexual function scores. A 2024 systematic review and meta-analysis in the American Journal of Obstetrics & Gynecology found pelvic floor strengthening improves arousal, satisfaction and comfort, and an observational study in the International Urogynecology Journal found pelvic floor muscle strength correlates with sexual function.

In plain terms: HIPEX™ strengthens the muscles involved in sexual response, and clinical studies report meaningful improvements for many women. It isn’t a treatment for a medical condition, and individual results vary — this is about strengthening, confidence and quality of life.

Sessions & What to Expect

Each HIPEX™ session is around 30 minutes, fully clothed and seated, in a private treatment room. You’ll feel a strong tapping and pulsing as the pelvic floor contracts — intense but not painful. There’s no recovery time; some women notice mild muscle fatigue, like the day after a good workout, which settles in a day or two.

Like any muscle, the pelvic floor strengthens progressively, so HIPEX™ works best as a course rather than a one-off. Most women begin with a course of sessions scheduled twice weekly, with occasional maintenance sessions afterwards to hold the gains.

You can book a single session — ideal as a first introduction or for maintenance — or the complete recommended course of 8, scheduled twice weekly over roughly four weeks, which is where the evidence shows lasting change. For current pricing and online booking, see the HIPEX™ Chair service page.

HIPEX™ isn’t suitable during pregnancy, or with a pacemaker, an electronic or metal implant in the treatment area, a copper IUD, epilepsy, or active cancer in the area. We screen for all of this at your consultation — if anything applies, let us know and we’ll assess suitability together.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to undress? No. You stay fully clothed and seated for the whole session. Nothing is internal.

Does it hurt? No. You’ll feel strong tapping and pulsing as the muscles contract — intense, not painful. We start at a comfortable intensity and build it up across the course.

How many sessions do I need? The recommended course is 8 sessions, twice weekly over about four weeks — that’s where the evidence shows lasting change. Single sessions are available for maintenance afterwards.

Can I have it after having a baby? Yes — it’s well suited to postpartum recovery, generally from 3 months after a vaginal birth or 6 months after a caesarean. We’ll confirm timing at consultation.

Is it safe? Yes. It’s a TGA listed Class IIa medical device (ARTG 338736), and adverse events in the research were uncommon and mild. We screen carefully for contraindications first.

The HIPEX™ Chair uses the CMSlim® Contouring Master® HI-EMT® system, a TGA-listed Class IIa medical device (ARTG 338736). It is indicated for pelvic floor muscle strengthening and is designed to help improve bladder control. It is not a treatment for medical conditions and does not replace medical care. Individual results vary. Clients with relevant medical conditions should consult their treating practitioner before commencing.
