Perineal sheathing exercise or Emy Trainer: how to choose?
Tone the perineum does not only go through classic contractions. Some global approaches, such as perineal sheathing exercises, integrate deep strengthening postures (often from Pilates, yoga or postnatal sport) to work the abdominal and pelvic muscles in synergy.
This method is interesting for improving posture and general muscular engagement. However, it often requires precise supervision to be properly performed, and does not allow isolated work of the perineum or immediate feedback on the effectiveness of the contractions.
Conversely, the Emy Trainer connected probe allows you to target the perineum, monitor your progress and stay motivated thanks to guided, fun and personalized exercises via a mobile application.

Why prefer the Emy perineal probe to sheathing exercises for perineal rehabilitation?
THE perineal sheathing exercises can be useful for strengthening the deep core and improving overall posture, but they require a good level of body awareness and do not always target the perineum directly.
There Emy Trainer probe, on the other hand, offers a clear, interactive and measurable program, perfectly suited to women who want to progress peacefully, at home, with concrete results. It fits easily into a routine, even for the busiest.
For targeted, supervised and motivating work on the perineum, Emy Trainer is a more precise and effective solution than sheathing alone.
