Dr. S., a gynecologist in the Hauts-de-France region, was able to test the pelvic floor training trainer Emy and recommends it to her patients.
For ethical reasons, Dr. S. wished to remain anonymous, but still wanted to share her opinion on our medical device. A very interesting review, which I’ll let you discover.
Key takeaways from Dr. S.’s testimonial
- A dual motivation: Testing Emy Trainer for personal needs related to urinary incontinence and out of professional curiosity in order to recommend the best trainer to her patients.
- A clear technological choice: A strong preference for biofeedback over electrostimulation thanks to a fun and motivating app.
- Proven effectiveness: A clear improvement in symptoms and pelvic floor tone in just 3 weeks of regular use.
Note: If you are a healthcare professional, test Emy through the Emy Expert programme.
Hello Doctor, could you tell me why you wanted to test the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer?
I tested the Emy trainer both for my personal needs (I suffer from urinary incontinence) and out of professional curiosity. As a gynecologist, I want to prescribe my patients an effective device to train the pelvic floor. I had already tested an electrostimulation trainer, but the results were not conclusive. I had heard about Emy in the press and wanted to test it before recommending it to my patients.
What is your opinion of our medical device?
I found Emy amazing, very pleasant and comfortable. The shape of the trainer is very good. I really appreciated the app; I find the exercises fun, very enjoyable to follow, and the progress tracking really helps visualise improvements over time. It’s motivating and makes you want to keep going. The idea of tracking time and performance goals is a real challenge. I think it encourages patient adherence.
Biofeedback VS electrostimulation?
Biofeedback is, in my view, really much more effective. This technology isn’t suitable for every patient, but it lets you track your progress and that’s a real source of motivation. There’s no doubt in my mind, biofeedback is clearly more effective.
What did you think of the price?
Of course, it is a bit expensive. Especially for some patients who can’t afford to spend that much. Personally, I’m really happy with it. It is expensive, but it’s worth it. You can also tell there’s research and development behind it. Your arguments are relevant and the effectiveness speaks for itself. Unfortunately, it’s a real shame that it isn’t reimbursed, because the price is a genuine barrier for patients.
Nevertheless, that can also be a positive thing, because the fact that the device isn’t reimbursed can be a source of motivation for the patient. They paid for it, so they get more out of their purchase by doing their exercises more regularly than with a reimbursed device. If you see it that way, it’s ultimately better for the patient if it helps them take ownership of their care!
Do you find Emy effective?
I’m really convinced by how effective it is! I tested it very regularly for 3 weeks, in an intensive programme, and I felt a huge improvement. Better pelvic floor tone and a clear improvement in my incontinence symptoms. I’m really happy with this device and I don’t regret buying it! It only takes a quarter of an hour a day, but it brings a lot. It’s time you take for yourself.
I’ve also prescribed the trainer to two of my patients and I’m eagerly awaiting their feedback.
