Advancements in medical devices now allow women to benefit from cutting-edge technology in the privacy of their own homes. As we recently discussed in our article with Au Féminin magazine, at-home pelvic floor rehabilitation is no longer just an alternative—it is a validated health solution. But what is the actual basis for this effectiveness?
Here is a look back at the scientific and clinical foundations of the Emy Trainer technology.
Biofeedback: "Active" and Conscious Rehabilitation
The success of the Emy Trainer probe is built on biofeedback. This method measures the contraction strength of the pelvic muscles in real-time and translates it into a visual signal on a smartphone.
Contrary to popular belief, this is not passive stimulation. As Emeline Hahn, co-founder of Fizimed, explains, biofeedback allows for "reconnecting the brain to the pelvic floor." This awareness ensures that exercises are performed correctly, thereby avoiding harmful abdominal pressure.
Clinically Proven Effectiveness: The Data
Emy Trainer is more than just a technological innovation; it is a Class I medical device with clinically proven efficacy. A clinical study was conducted by the Strasbourg University Hospital (CHU) to validate the solution's impact on stress urinary incontinence.
Key figures from the study:
-
98% of users reported an improvement in their quality of life after 3 months of use.
-
A significant reduction in urinary leaks starting from just 3 weeks of regular use.
-
An exceptional satisfaction rate regarding ease of use.

A Protocol Validated by Experts
The development of Emy Trainer benefited from the expertise of renowned healthcare professionals. The clinical study involved doctors and pelvic-perineal rehabilitation experts to ensure safe and adapted exercise protocols:
-
Dr. Floriane JOCHUM, OB-GYN (Strasbourg)
-
Dr. Olivier GARBIN, OB-GYN (Schiltigheim)
-
Pr. Julien GODET, Professor of Biostatistics and Data Science in Health (Strasbourg)
-
Mathilde RAGUENEAU, Physiotherapist (Schiltigheim)
-
Chantal MEYER, Nurse (Strasbourg)
-
Sylvie BILLECOCQ, Physiotherapist (Paris), member of SIFUD PP
-
Pr. Lise LECOINTRE, Head of Gynecology (Strasbourg)
-
Pr. Cherif AKLADIOS, Head of Gynecology and Endometriosis Center (Strasbourg)
-
Dr. Aline HOST, Gynecology and Endometriosis Center Coordinator (Strasbourg)
Their participation ensures that every exercise in the app meets the gold standard of traditional in-office rehabilitation: the PERFECT Scheme.
We have digitized this standard (PERFECT Scheme) to make it accessible to as many women as possible through an engaging app based on medical protocols. The app adapts in real-time to the patient's progress, respecting her specific needs and pace. This represents a major advancement in the continuity of pelvic floor care following in-office treatment.
Conclusion: Consistency is the Key to Long-term Health
The science is clear: the key to a toned pelvic floor lies in consistency. By enabling at-home practice with a safe medical device, we remove organizational barriers, allowing every woman to maintain her results over the long term.
