As you get older, pelvic floor disorders can worsen and have a major impact on everyday life. This is Sonia’s story: she was dealing with a double concern — stress urinary incontinence and a rectocele. When her specialist doctor was only offering surgery as the next step, she chose to try an active, non-invasive approach by training with the connected Emy Trainer smart pelvic floor trainer. After a few months of use, the results went beyond her expectations and helped her put surgery off. Discover her inspiring journey.
The key points from Sonia’s journey:
- Worsening issues linked to stress incontinence and a rectocele, for which her doctor strongly recommended surgery.
- The choice of a wireless, self-guided solution to train her deep muscles regularly and in a fun way at home, ideal for starting an effective pelvic floor training programme.
- A dramatic improvement in just one week, and today she no longer needs sanitary protection at all.
The starting point: why choose the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer instead of surgery?
My name is Sonia, I’m Austrian, and I live with stress urinary incontinence linked to a rectocele (a prolapse of the rectal wall). As I’ve got older, these two conditions have started to cause more and more problems in my daily life.
At first, the symptoms appeared gradually, but they became very severe over time. My specialist doctor eventually advised surgery. It was an option I absolutely wanted to avoid, which is what prompted me to look for an alternative and order the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer.
A fun, hassle-free routine
I’ve been training every day for 20 minutes with Emy Trainer for 3 months now, and I’m absolutely delighted! Even with just 20 minutes a day, it never gets boring, because the app lets you choose from lots of different programmes and adaptive mini-games.

What I also love is that there’s no cable at all, unlike many other pelvic floor stimulators or rehabilitation devices. What’s more, the long-lasting battery lasts a long time — about 10 days in my case.

Quick results with Emy Trainer
I was pleasantly surprised because I could see the first small changes in my pelvic floor after just one week of regular use. I was pretty amazed to see that in just a few minutes of training a day, the effects on my health and tone were so significant!
The everyday transformation: concrete improvements in her health
My incontinence effort has improved considerably. It’s a huge relief: I no longer need to wear sanitary pads every day at all! At the same time, the sensations of heaviness in my lower abdomen and the discomfort caused by my rectocele have also eased. The benefits for my health and comfort are real.
Breaking the taboo: do you think enough is being said about the pelvic floor and urinary leaks?
We don’t talk about it enough; the subject is still far too rarely discussed in public. In my view, pelvic floor training should be an integral part of our daily routine, just like any other workout to keep your body fit!
What you can take away from Sonia’s experience:
- Muscle strengthening through biofeedback is a concrete and effective alternative when trying to avoid surgery linked to prolapse.
- Consistency and regularity (20 minutes a day), combined with adaptive mini-games, help you achieve fast results, from the very first week.
- Improved pelvic floor tone offers a major gain in freedom, including finally giving up protection pads for good.
