For people who want to take control. The days of “just dealing” with pelvic distress are behind you. Reclaim your confidence with our program developed to tackle mixed incontinence.
Mixed Incontinence is our kegel exercise program designed to treat mixed incontinence (both urge and stress incontinence symptoms).
Stop or reduce leaks, regulate urges, and experience pelvic relief with the Mixed Incontinence program.
You need the Mixed Incontinence program if:
Leaks have become a normal part of your life and the bathroom rules your days and nights.
Whether you’re running, jumping, laughing, or sneezing, if daily activities cause you to leak, you’re dealing with stress incontinence. And those sudden, intense urges to use the bathroom is urge incontinence.
When leaks become an unwelcome friend and an overactive bladder is running your life, it’s time to try the Mixed Incontinence program.
What can you expect?
Bladder control, peace of mind, and the confidence to get back to your active life.
The Mixed Incontinence program helps you take control of your pelvic health. With a stronger pelvic floor and better bladder control, you can get back to focusing on the activities you love instead of focusing on leaks, and stop planning your itinerary around available bathrooms!
Research studies suggest that overall, between 67 and 75% of women will reduce or stop leak symptoms with pelvic floor muscle training.
While you may notice some results within weeks, for others it can take between 3 and 6 months of regular, consistent training. Keep at it!! Consistency is key!
What factors may influence my individual results?
Training frequency: regular training (sticking to your 10-minute session, 5 times a week) is linked with faster improvements. Keep training sessions short and sweet and respect rest time! Overdoing it won't make you progress any faster, and could actually slow down your progress.
Kegel quality: making sure you are correctly engaging your pelvic floor muscles is key. Don't hesitate to practice with the kegel coach (linked) and pay attention to contraction quality during games.
Physical activity: high-intensity exercise like running and jumping can make you more prone to leaks; but being sedentary is not helpful, either. Moderate-intensity, low-impact activity (like walking) can also help to improve stress incontinence symptoms.
Breaking old habits and creating new mental associations: do you get a sudden urge to pee as soon as you put your key in the door? Do you use the toilet every hour, even without an urge to pee, "just in case"? If you repeat these behaviors often enough, your brain may start to associate these moments with having to pee, even if you don't really have to go. Try breaking the cycle by changing your routine: for example; by adding a distracting task (such as mental math) while you get your keys out to open your door, or by gradually spacing out planned trips to the bathroom.
Other factors: Factors like age, menopause, and higher body mass index (BMI) increase the likelihood of leaks. Depending on your individual characteristics, it may take longer for you to see results. In about 25%-30% of cases, leaks can be due to factors other than a weak pelvic floor. If you have been training regularly, have seen improvements in your strength and endurance, and have seen no improvement in leak symptoms, you can use your training data as valuable information to share with your medical professional. And, as a reminder, for some conditions, such as the ones listed here (link to red flags), it's essential that you consult with a medical professional before starting to train.
How does it work?
Continence is the ability to control your bladder and bowels.
Stress incontinence happens, typically during physical activities, when your pelvic floor isn’t strong enough to control the bladder and prevent leaks.
In comparison, urge incontinence is the sudden and often intense need to urinate.
Pelvic floor exercises, like Kegels, work to regulate urges and strengthen your pelvic floor through voluntary pelvic muscle contractions.
Main patterns used
The Mixed incontinence program is like pelvic floor bootcamp: you'll get a bit of everything! Fast and strong contractions to help prevent leaks during exercise, coughing and sneezing, and longer, less intense contractions to train endurance and suppress urges.

Key dimensions
The Perifit Care analyzes five key dimensions of each kegel exercise.
Primary
Strength: the contraction is strong enough to ensure continence and stop leaks
Endurance: the contraction is held for a few seconds to calm urge and promote pelvic support
Control: the contraction is well-timed and occurs as fast as needed
Secondary
Relaxation: the contraction ensures a wide range of motion and flexible muscles
Kegel quality: the contraction is training your pelvic floor muscles and not increasing abdominal pressure
