Using Elvie Trainer

What does the LV score mean?

Your LV score simply shows you how strongly you are squeezing - you may well find that it is higher during some workouts than others, depending on the time of the month (or even the time of day!). There is no average score. Pelvic floor strength varies across individuals depending on where they are in their recovery, age, time of the month and more.

While the app offers scores and metrics, if your reason for using the Elvie Trainer is to treat symptoms of incontinence, then the reduction in these symptoms will be a more helpful indicator of your improvement. Also, maintaining your pelvic floor muscles is just as important as treating issues - so if your score starts to plateau over time that's ok too.

If you are using Elvie Trainer several times a week, you will start to get a feel for what a 'normal' LV score is for you. However, it is important to remember that the LV score is just one aspect of the workout. The Pulse and Speed exercises that challenge your fast twitch muscles (rather than your overall strength) are just as important.
