The Athena Pelvic Muscle Trainer™ (PMT) is an FDA Cleared electrical vaginal stimulator that induces the pelvic muscles to contract and relax, similar to Kegel exercises.

The system consists of a vaginal trainer with a sealed battery and a wireless controller to adjust the strength of the contractions while the trainer is in use. The trainer is housed in a cradle in the controller.

Pelvic floor electrical stimulation (PFES) is a simple, low-risk treatment for incontinence resulting from weak pelvic floor muscles or a hyperactive bladder. An electrical current activates sensory nerve fibers that can facilitate or inhibit a sensory-motor response.
