Pelvic floor muscle therapy (PFMT) is the simplest said to be and the most effective treatment for lower urinary tract dysfunction (LUTs) if it is done properly in a motivated women. Transpelvic Magnetic Stimulation (TPMS) is useful in women who are not able to effectively contract their pelvic floor muscle. Pulsed Magnetic Technology (Extracorporeal Magnetic Innervations (ExMI) ) has been developed for stimulation of pelvic floor muscle and approved by the US Food and Drug Association (FDA) in 1998. It generates pulsed magnetic fields which induces an electrical depolarization of the nerves within the pelvic floor thus causing the pelvic floor muscle to contract. The advantage of magnetic fields is it penetrates all tissue without significant alteration
