Emy electrostimulation device or perineal probe: what method to effectively strengthen the perineum?
There perineal rehabilitation is an important issue for many women, particularly after pregnancy or in the event of urinary leakage.
Two medical solutions are often mentioned: the electrostimulation device, which sends electrical impulses to contract muscles effortlessly, and the Emy Trainer connected perineal probe, which allows the user to voluntarily contract their muscles by following guided exercises on a mobile application.
Electrostimulation can be effective but remains a passive method, sometimes uncomfortable, which requires equipment and technical adjustments.
Conversely, the Emy Trainer biofeedback probe offers an active, motivating and clinically validated approach, in a very simple format to use on a daily basis.
Here is a clear comparison between these two methods, to help you choose the one that best suits your pace and your goals.

Why choose Emy Trainer rather than an electrostimulation device?
THE electrostimulation devices are effective on the short term, especially in medical settings or for people who cannot contract their perineum voluntarily or who wish to learn how to locate it. In this case, an electrostimulation device can be useful, especially if you are at the start of perineal rehabilitation.
But their passive, uninviting approach, and their lack of personalization can constitute obstacles in the long term.
They are sometimes uncomfortable, require precise adjustments, and do not allow you to visualize your progress.
Conversely, the Emy Trainer connected probe offers a active, motivating and personalized approach.
Grace to its free and intuitive application, its integrated reminders, its progressive levels and his real-time tracking, it transforms an exercise often perceived as restrictive into a simple and rewarding routine.
If you want a modern, medically validated, and truly motivating tool to regain control of your perineum, Emy Trainer stands out as a reliable, comfortable and durable solution.
