Abstract

An exercising set for exercising the pelvic floor muscles of a patient comprises: at least one insert fitted for a human body cavity mechanically interconnected to a force generating means by means of a connector. The human body cavity is selected from: woman's vaginal cavity or any user's inner rectal cavity. The force generating means is adapted to generate a pulling force which is lower than the contraction force of said patient's pelvic floor muscles when applied on the at least one insert to prevent the insert leaving the human body cavity.
