Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF/HIFEM) energy passes gently through clothing and skin to activate the deep pelvic floor muscles that are hard to reach with exercises alone. Protocols are designed and reviewed under the Barrie Urology Group.

Low-frequency electromagnetic pulses travel through fabric and skin without heat, needles or undressing.
The field induces tiny currents that depolarise the pudendal and motor nerves supplying the pelvic floor.

Pelvic floor exercises work — when they’re done correctly and consistently. That’s the hard part.
