any people—especially postpartum mothers—struggle with pelvic‑floor weakness. The pelvic floor is a set of muscles that support the bladder, uterus and bowel. When weakened, it can lead to issues like incontinence, back pain and reduced core stability. Conventional exercises such as Kegels can help, but they require precise muscle control that is hard to master without guidance. This is where EMS training comes in. Tummo’s coaches note that EMS makes it easier for clients to activate and strengthen these deep muscles

During an EMS session geared toward pelvic‑floor rehab, you wear a suit fitted with electrodes over the abdomen, lower back and hips. As you perform gentle movements—bridges, glute raises or even lying‑down leg lifts—the suit delivers low‑frequency impulses that stimulate the pelvic‑floor muscles. Because EMS contracts the muscles more effectively than many people can on their own, you can feel them working and learn to engage them consciously. Over time, this builds strength and coordination in a region that’s notoriously tricky to train.

Tummo emphasises that EMS for pelvic‑floor health is not just for postpartum recovery. People who sit for long hours, have had abdominal surgery or experience bladder‑control issues can all benefit. The studio notes that clients often come specifically to address these concerns and that even those who’ve never exercised regularly can perform EMS sessions safely

Workouts are short—about 20 minutes—but the stimulation helps improve core stability, posture and overall quality of life.

If you’re considering using EMS to strengthen your pelvic floor, consult with a qualified trainer and, if necessary, a pelvic‑floor physiotherapist. The trainer will set the intensity based on your comfort level and guide you through movements that target the muscles effectively. Many clients find that EMS helps them reconnect with muscles they hadn’t felt in years, leading to better control and confidence. Whether you’re a new parent, a working professional with core‑strength issues or an athlete seeking better stability, EMS offers a science‑backed way to enhance pelvic‑floor health.
