UPDATEIve been to hospital this morning and had to have an internal examination. I was so chuffed when the Dr commented on how well toned I was in that area and asked if I did pelvic floor exercises. I explained that it was thanks to the Squeezy app reminding me 3 times a day. I am 70 and only started doing regular pelvic floor exercises this year so it’s never too late to start. A big thank you to all at Squeezy. I’ve attempted to do regular pelvic floor exercises in the past and frequently forgot all about them. Despite having a love/hate relationship with this app I have managed to do my 3 sets of 10 slow and 10 quick every single day for the last 25 weeks. Admittedly, there may have been the odd occasion when I’ve had to do all three sets at the same time just before I go to bed, but at least I’m still doing them. Best £2.99 I’ve spent in a long time. Worth every penny.

Useful but a few things could be optimized

I've been using a different app during my pregnancy but after seeing recommendations I thought I'd try this. It'd overall good, however a few features I found helpful in the other app I'm missing here, these just make it a bit more practical so it would be great if the app developers could consider introducing it. At the moment the vibration function doesn't work when the phone is silent. It would be good though, if someone doesn't need it it could easily be switched off. The other thing I'm missing is the vibration feature is missing in the short excercises, sounds play but if the phone is in silent mode you can only go by the view of the screen. Also I personally find the double vibrate on the start of a long squeeze distracting. One would be better I just find it makes me release the squeeze when I feel the second one. The bladder diary seems like a good feature, though I'm using the app for a different reason and it may be good to include a diary where you can make free notes or other notes relating to other common problems where pelvic floor excercises may be useful.

Thank you for your feedback!Vibration should work even if the phone is on silent. Your iOS settings may prevent this - check that "Haptics" is set to "Always Play" in the Settings app. If you need help changing this please email support@squeezyapp.zendesk.com and we can help you resolve this.The lack of vibration on quick exercises was originally deliberate due to hardware limitations but I think this may no longer be a problem. I'll raise this with the development team to look at again.I'll also pass your other feedback to the product team for them to review.

Wish I’d tried this first!

We all know we’re supposed to do these exercises but unfortunately if you’re anything like me it’s hard to get into the habit. I wish I’d tried this app before I spent £250 on ‘the shorts’. Foolishly I thought that 30 mins a day for 4 days would be easier for me to fit in than 3 times a day for 7 days but I was very wrong. The Squeezy sessions take 2 mins, you can do them anywhere which is very appealing to me as I spend a lot of time ferrying kids around, waiting in the car etc! You can initiate a session earlier if needed or defer one if not convenient. As long as you do your 3 a day you will notice results - I’m only 10 days in but already seeing results. Everyone should be asked to try this for a few weeks before they get a referral to a clinician, I get a feeling the NHS would be saved a lot of time and money!

Not able to set the exercises I’ve been prescribed

Generally I find the app easy to use and it’s a good reminder for me to do my exercises, as well as making it easier to do them on the go since I don’t have to concentrate on counting the seconds myself.My only issue is that I seem to be unable to set the exercise plan that I’ve been given my an NHS physio, which seems like a miss. I am supposed to do 3 x 3 sets of 10 slow and fast, so 9 sets in total over the course of the day, in 3 sittings. However the maximum I can plan in the app is 6 sets, and if I select this I would end up with 6 reminders throughout the day. It would be great if there was an option to set up ‘sets per session’ as well as the current sessions/reps/squeeze and relax time. It would also be great to be able to set up sets for relaxation of the pelvic floor muscles too, since I’ve been told this is just as important.

HelloThank you for your feedback!If your physio is asking you to do 3 sets of 10 slow and 10 fast, in every session, and to do three of those sessions every day, then you will be unable to set that up in the app. The reason for that is that Squeezy is designed to be suitable for everyone to use, within the limits described in the introductory articles. The settings are pre-planned to fit with the current evidence. This is that men and women with pelvic floor symptoms should perform up to ten slow squeezes, at 10 seconds hold each time, and ten fast squeezes, up to six times a day. Women only should perform these same exercises up to three times a day as a maintenance or preventative measure. The relaxation component is built in to this and the rest and relaxation phases can be increased as required.The number you have been prescribed is not able to be put in to the app because they would be too much for the vast majority of people, and the app is set up so that we do not put people at risk of causing any soreness or overactivity by overworking these muscles. I hope that you are able to find a way to manage this, perhaps by doing all three sets each time one of your three reminders goes off. You can do this by using the "Squeeze now" petal to repeat the sets.I hope this clarifies the situation and good luck with your plan!Best wishesMyra Robson (Squeezy physio)

Use Statement
Squeezy is a mobile application designed to help users perform pelvic floor muscle exercises correctly and consistently, following NICE‑aligned exercise plans supplied in the app or customised by a pelvic health physiotherapist.

It supports self‑management of pelvic floor dysfunction by providing reminders, visual/audio guides, exercise plans, and progress tracking.

Squeezy is also available in Squeezy Connect and Squeezy Maternity, allowing clinicians to monitor adherence and provide targeted support.

Safety Information
Squeezy should not be used as a substitute for professional medical evaluation in cases of:

Unexplained pelvic pain
Acute urinary retention
Significant pelvic trauma
Conditions requiring urgent care
Users uncertain about beginning pelvic floor exercises should seek clinical advice first.
Warnings & Precautions
If exercises cause pain or worsening symptoms, stop and seek clinical advice.
Exercise plans should be customised when provided by a clinician; incorrect exercise intensity may worsen symptoms.
Squeezy is not a diagnostic tool.
Users should follow physiotherapy guidance if exercises have been prescribed as part of supervised treatment.
Adherence improvements are common (with over a 90% increase in exercise frequency reported). Though outcomes can vary, surveys show that the majority of our users experience improvements in their condition.
