1. A method for using a vaginal insert device, the method comprising:
inserting the vaginal insert device into a vagina, the vaginal insert device having a cone-shaped body with a rib extending within an inner portion of the cone-shaped body;
orienting the rib with respect to an organ wall by rotating a stem extending downward from the cone-shaped body, the stem having a stem plane created by a width of the stem that is parallel to and coplanar with a rib plane created by the rib;
applying a therapy force to the organ wall through orientation of the rib; and
adjusting the therapy force by:
rotating the stem to align the stem and the rib with the organ wall to form an aligned position that increases the therapy force; or
rotating the stem to not align the stem and the rib with the organ wall to form a misaligned position that decreases the therapy force.
