Do you turn it on and it works by itself, or you have to tense and relax muscles by yourself as the iTone Muscle pelvic floor exerciser tells you?

Yes, it is easy to insert then turn on once it is in place.if you lie on your side you can prop it in place.if you are on your back, you may have to hold it and the arms get tired� Apparently it will bring about results a bit faster if you voluntarily tense the pelvic muscles in synch with the machineBut I just let it do the work and it improves gradually

Mine is not an apex I do not think!! Bought directly from docs office. It was only $150 in the doctors office. Just make sure you are getting the real deal and not a knock off.

Yes...works by itself...if you work the muscles at the same time You may have faster results.I did not see that ins thru cation in the manual? Please advise,

Good luck! It has worked for me. Just read & follow the directions and you should see a noticeable improvement in a couple of weeks. Money well spent in my opinion.

It works by itself. Directions suggest you do some contractions at the end of the session, after device is removed. As my muscles have strengthened, I do tense some with the Apex for better (faster) results.

yes it contacts by itself Do you have Stress incontinence alone of do you also the urge? If you have both the Apex M is what you would need. If just stress the Apex is what would be best for you. please feel free to ask any question you might have

You have to connect a vibrating devise. I use an "iSmart Massager". It uses a 9volt battery to send the electric impulses.

Yes it will turn on by itself and scare you day or night. This one doesn't have a way to turn it off I have heard that the Booms do; but after being left alone a few minutes it falls asleep. Hope this helps!!

You lay on the floor or a hard surface,put your ankles on the top,turn the machine on, it moves every part of your body.You can feel thecirculation. especally good for people that are not able to get out and walk, but good for anyone.I like the machine and should use it at least twice a day. I wouldsuggest a yoga mat to lay on.It is a passive exercise where the machinemoves you, instead of you moving the machine.

I'm not certain what you mean by "by yourself"; however, perhaps this will help. This is a big device which works best when operated by another person. That being said, the video which ships with the device illustrates a wide variety of ways for one person to use it on themselves --- i use it by my self though i prefer it when my wife uses it. To be fair, she complains about the weight and much prefers to use our "mini-thumper" which is a much smaller and lighter conventionally designed device. We probably do not get as much use out of this as i would like (especially given its price). I hope this helps. bill I'm not certain what you mean by "by yourself"; however, perhaps this will help.

I had the same concern when I first got it. The first 5 times that I used it I made sure my wife was handy. Now that I've had it for several months I have the confidence to use it when I am alone. Just make sure that you have it "balanced" correctly (setting it for your ht/wt) so that you can easily pull yourself back up when inverted.

Well..I haven't had one single issue with it! I love it so much, got mine to enable kids to turn on bathroom light by themselves! Works just dandy! I'm surmising others issues may be when more walls, floors etc might be hampering operation? I have another one to install, its got a different frequency. Bought them together, they sent two different ones so not to have a problem. Hope this helps!

Wow, i didn't even notice that when i bought mine. In the mail i recieved the one show in the stand alone picture, not the one used by the lady. It is freaking awesome, the only way they could improve this product is if you didn't have to do it yourself (in some positions your muscles tighten while trying to apply the pressure), so hopefully you have a loving friend who will work it into those areas for you :)

Idon't use the remote that came with it. If you take that out, just dial the intensity to the place that feel comfortable to you and dial the time for how long you want to sit under it.

You hold down the button for a few seconds until it comes on. Also most of the time once you're done your workout most of these will reset to zero if not used for a period of time, this one stays and continues from where you started the next time you go to workout, so you have to hold down again to reset for next workout. It threw me off when I first started using too.

I just plugged it in and turned the dial to inflate. You don't need to inflate it until it feels stiff. I put one knee on it, and if I can barely the floor, it's perfect (for me anyway). I've had mine for two months. It replaced an older one that died after 5 or 6 years.

Make sure the tension knob is all the way to the left. If you look at the instructions, in image 8B (step 8 and the image labeled B) pull up on the piece that the #19 is attached to. Don't be scared to give it a little muscle, it wont snap. For me it would've been a lot easier with a 2nd person there, but you can still get it done solo.

Hello,There are two massage motors. One for the Lumbar and one for the thighs. There are no pre-programmed modes. On the remote, it is either On/Off.Thanks

You have to use your legs to hold yourself in position (per the picture), and in-terms of relaxing that's up to the user I guess, I find it more therapeutic (traction) for the back than a relaxation position. Use at your own risk but this is my experience... I received lessons on how to use before attempting anything on it.

You can use it alone, but only on your legs. If you want to massage your back you need to have somebody to do it for you.

That depends on your personal settings. The machine allows you to increase and /or decrease tension. You also work at your own speed.
