Training your pelvic floor when you live abroad and pelvic floor training sessions aren’t reimbursed can quickly become difficult. Here’s the story of a mum who could no longer cope with that discomfort in everyday life. After 2 weeks of using the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer, she said goodbye to urinary leaks!
The key points of her journey:
- Postpartum urinary leaks: After two closely spaced pregnancies, this mum developed mild urinary leaks in everyday life, which caused a lot of stress.
- The solution of training at home: Living abroad without financial coverage and facing interrupted sessions with a physiotherapist, she turned to the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer to train independently at home.
- A toned pelvic floor regained quickly: In just two to three weeks of use, she noticed a significant improvement and her leaks stopped.
Here is her story with Emy Trainer…
I’m a mum of 2 children aged 34 and 14 months. After my first pregnancy, I hadn’t been able to complete my training and then I became pregnant very quickly.
After my 2nd pregnancy, I started having urinary leaks and it was very hard for me to live with.
It stressed me out enormously. I had started training with a physiotherapist, but I had to stop several times for personal reasons.
So I wanted to find a way to do my training at home… I started doing some research online and came across a video about Emy, and this solution immediately won me over!
What changes have you noticed with Emy Trainer?
Training my pelvic floor with the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer was very quick. I saw results after two to three weeks of use. I had “mild” urinary leaks when I sneezed or moved around a lot, but they still affected my life. Now I have a more toned pelvic floor than before.
Do you think enough is said about urinary leaks?
Not really, but I think it’s important to break the taboo around urinary leaks. Some people don’t even know that pelvic floor training exists and suffer every day because of their pelvic floor. And it can get worse and lead to a pelvic organ prolapse.
Before giving birth, I didn’t know anything about the pelvic floor because I had never heard of it. Once I became a mum, I started having urinary leaks and I was uninformed.
So I think it’s important to learn what it is as early as possible, maybe around puberty, because the problem can affect anyone.
Emy Trainer, a long-term investment
The women we meet often tell us that Emy Trainer
is too expensive — what do you think?
At first, the price held me back a little because it was very high for me. I had to wait a little while before I could buy it because I think it’s a very good investment, especially in the long term.
In the end, it will cost less than sessions with a healthcare professional (and I want to have more children and get fully into sport).
I should also mention that I live abroad, so the sessions aren’t reimbursed…
