At Fizimed, we know that pelvic floor training is an essential pillar of women’s wellbeing at every stage of life. The pelvic floor, that precious group of muscles located in the lower abdomen, needs regular training to keep functioning optimally, especially during major hormonal transitions such as menopause. Yet the discomfort linked to a loss of tone is too often left unspoken. Associated complications, urinary leaks or the risk of prolapse are often seen as inevitable. Today, we invite you to discover the inspiring story of Catherine, 59. On her gynaecologist’s advice, she chose the Emy Trainer pelvic floor trainer to take care of her intimate health in a preventive and active way.
The key points of Catherine’s journey:
- A preventive approach to prolapse: Alerted by her gynaecologist to the lack of tone in her pelvic floor as she approached 60, Catherine chose to act early to rule out the risk of future pelvic organ prolapse.
- A motivating and quick recovery routine: Thanks to the series of playful exercises offered by the Emy app, she saw concrete, measurable results in just a few weeks.
- The end of everyday urinary leaks: By effectively strengthening her pelvic floor at home with Emy Trainer, Catherine said goodbye to those small involuntary urinary leaks and rediscovered optimal everyday comfort.
Why did you choose the Emy trainer?
At 59, Catherine is going through a period when the female body experiences major changes. This is often when tissues start to loosen and muscle weakness sets in. During a routine appointment a little over a year ago, her gynaecologist gave her a clear diagnosis: her pelvic floor wasn’t very toned and she was at risk of prolapse within a few years.
Rather than waiting for the situation to worsen or for real discomfort to disrupt her everyday life, Catherine decided to take the lead. Following her practitioner’s wise advice, she turned to postpartum pelvic floor recovery at home with the connected Emy trainer. The ideal solution to take an active prevention approach, strengthen her muscles in depth and stay in control of her body.
Fast, tangible results with the Emy trainer
How did your pelvic floor training with Emy Trainer go?
For many women, the idea of doing pelvic floor exercises can feel off-putting. Fortunately, Emy Trainer’s biofeedback medical technology completely changes the experience! For Catherine, it went perfectly.
The app offers interactive mini-games based on real pelvic floor contractions, making the training engaging. “Absolutely great. It’s very fun and motivating,” she says. Being able to see her efforts and progress in real time on her smartphone boosts consistency and turns a medical treatment into a true a moment of self-care. That is what science shows about at-home pelvic floor training with biofeedback.
When did you first notice the effects of the Emy pelvic floor trainer on your pelvic floor?
Thanks to regular practice and the device’s performance, Catherine didn’t have to wait months to feel a difference: the first positive effects appeared “after just a few weeks”.
These quick results are a huge source of satisfaction and reassurance. They validate the effort you’ve put in and give you all the energy you need to keep up this protective routine with confidence and determination.
What changes have you noticed?
The muscle strengthening she achieved had an immediate impact on her intimate well-being. Catherine noticed two major changes: “Less urinary leakage and a more toned pelvic floor”. By strengthening her pelvic floor, she not only resolved her minor incontinence issues, but also gave her anatomy the structural support it needed to help keep the threat of pelvic organ prolapse at bay.
Do we talk enough about urinary leakage?
Although these issues affect a huge majority of women, the subject is unfortunately still taboo. When we ask Catherine whether she thinks enough is being said about urinary leakage, her answer is clear: “No, unfortunately women are not prepared enough for these discomforts that sadly affect almost all of us during menopause.”
The oestrogen deficiency linked to the end of menstrual cycles naturally weakens the intimate muscles. Yet incontinence and pelvic heaviness are still far too often presented as an inevitable consequence of ageing. Catherine’s journey proves otherwise: by breaking the silence and equipping herself with effective tools like Emy Trainer, it is entirely possible to do something about it!

Health is priceless: investing in the Emy pelvic floor trainer
The price of a high-tech connected training device can sometimes make you hesitate when buying. Catherine shares her view very honestly: “It’s true that it’s not affordable for everyone, but I used a discount code during the sales, which made it possible for me to buy it.”
Taking care of your health capital is an absolute priority. While buying the trainer represents an upfront cost, it proves to be particularly cost-effective in the long run compared with endlessly buying disposable pads. To make this choice easier, Fizimed also offers flexible options such as free delivery or interest-free instalment payments, so that as many women as possible can enjoy the comfort they deserve.
A final word? Or rather three!
If she had to sum up her journey with the connected pelvic floor training device, Catherine would choose three powerful words: “Practical, effective and fun.
Thanks to this medical device designed by experts, she was able to anticipate the complications of menopause, strengthen her pelvic floor in depth, and regain complete confidence in her body, right from her living room.
A big thank you to Catherine for agreeing to share her experience with us! Thanks to stories like hers, we continue to raise awareness among women and encourage them to take back control of their intimate well-being.
What we can learn from Catherine’s experience:
- The power of proactive prevention: Don’t wait for severe symptoms to appear before taking action. A pelvic floor stimulated as soon as the first signs of weakness appear during menopause helps preserve pelvic health over the long term and reduce the risk of prolapse.
- Biofeedback, the key to consistency: The playful side of the Emy app removes the monotony of traditional pelvic floor training. By tracking her progress through games, training becomes an enjoyable appointment that’s easy to build into your routine.
- No need to accept the discomforts of menopause: Urinary leaks are not a normal part of ageing that you have to live with. Innovative, clinically proven solutions exist to help restore women’s intimate comfort.
