A Spa for Those Women Concerned About ?Pelvic Fitness?

THESE are the generations of cosmetic medicine:

First came the “medical spa,” or medi spa, offering dermatology services in a retail setting. The medi spa begat the dental spa, bringing tooth bleaching to storefronts nationwide. The dental spa begat the podiatry spa.

And now comes the first medi spa in Manhattan wholly dedicated to strengthening and grooming a woman’s genital area. Phit — short for pelvic health integrated techniques — is to open this month on East 58th Street.

[television is just wrong]

lol, kegel exercises are in order.

Oh My...

[G Larry]

I’m opening up a martini bar across the street from them.

....and the follow-up evaluations will be much cheaper.....

[Andonius_99]

Ladies, I have a training device that can help if anyone out there is interested... :)

[TornadoAlley3]

wonder if Hillary has visited this place yet? :)

Hmmm... difficulties in the pelvic area in women can seriously impair your sexual pleasure, and why should one deny that to the ladies? Unwanted cramps, contractions, it’s all possible.
With just a few sessions and proper guidance, such women can learn how to rhythmically contract and relax their pelvis musculature - and that is most pleasing to the woman and her partner.
Just an informed thought, not meant as any form of critique aimed at your post.
Were I to grumble a bit, then it would be at the explosion of so-called ‘wellness centres’ in Holland. When the rich and idle have nothing else to do any more, they go to a wellness centre - and I still don’t know what happens there. Drilling for oil?

This thread is useless without pictures!

and they say the economy is bad.

Or not....

The spa will also offer cosmetic laser treatments intended to tighten the skin of the vulva in post-menopausal women.

“The outer layer can become almost scrotal, very wrinkly and lax,” Dr. Romanzi said.

She treats pelvic skin using a combined laser and radio frequency device that is designed for facial skin and has not been studied for safety and efficacy when used on the vulva, she said. But she said the laser does not penetrate deeply enough to affect internal organs like ovaries.

Bet they are inundated with resume’s!

Things that make mother smile...My daughter recently went to an expensive “spa” to get rid of a bikini problem prior to their seashore vacation. She said the bruises have healed. :-))

[stuartcr]

Hysteria?

[meatloaf]

That’s one of the keys to making money these days. Exploit the insecure. Figure out how to make them worried about some body part and sell them something to fix the “problem.”

Many of the ads on TV today are designed to make someone feel bad about themselves.

"...Dr. Romanzi believes all women might benefit from such exercises. 'If you can vote and you have a vagina, you should do these,' she said. 'It’s the dental floss of feminine fitness.' ”

Er, okay.....

[stuartcr]

‘tight p——, loose shoes and a warm place to s-—’

[MrB]

Same motivation as environmentalists -

not enough REAL problems to worry about in their lives, so they have to invent something to worry about and “solve”.

*Lord, give me the strength to keep my mouth shut* ping.

"I’m opening up a martini bar across the street from them."

You'll have to go next door. I've already got the place across the street reserved for my merkin boutique.

'If you can vote and you have a vagina, you should do these,' she said. 'It’s the dental floss of feminine fitness.' ”

The late night talk shows are going to have a field day with this one...just getting in touch with their inner V.

[backhoe]

Well...

[mikrofon]

Kegling can be good exercise...

[freespirited]

yup, the economy is terrible ...

[kickonly88]

hahahaha..! I remember that ..priceless

And now comes the first medi spa in Manhattan wholly dedicated to strengthening and grooming a woman’s genital area.

The next wave.

What a rip off. $150 just to be told to do kegels? Not even a bikini wax thrown in? Ladies, beware!

But a piece of advice to the gents. If your lady asks "have I gotten wrinkly and lax down there"? Treat it exactly as you would the question, "does this outfit make me look fat"?!
