Quick answer

The NeuroTrac Simplex is a portable EMG biofeedback device that shows you real-time muscle activity so you can learn to contract and relax your pelvic floor correctly. It suits people who want clinical-grade feedback at home, especially when Kegel exercises alone haven't worked. Choose it if you value objective guidance and are ready to practise consistently; skip it if you need a passive toner or want a device that exercises for you.

How EMG biofeedback turns invisible muscle work into visible feedback

EMG biofeedback measures the electrical activity of your pelvic floor muscles through a sensor and displays it on screen. When you squeeze, you see the reading rise; when you relax, it falls. That loop helps you identify whether you are using the right muscles, holding your breath, or compensating with your abdomen or glutes. The NeuroTrac Simplex brings this physiotherapy tool into your home, so you can practise with the same real-time information a clinician would use.

What the NeuroTrac Simplex includes and how to use it

The device is compact and portable, and it is used by physiotherapists in NHS clinics and private practice. For home use, you typically follow a series of short contractions and rests guided by the screen. A session might involve holding a contraction for a few seconds, then fully relaxing for the same amount of time, repeated for a set number of reps. The exact routine should come from your clinician or the included instructions. Because the feedback is immediate, you can correct your technique in the moment rather than guessing.

Who benefits most from home biofeedback

Biofeedback is especially helpful if you have been doing Kegels but are unsure whether you are activating the right muscles. It is also useful for people who tend to hold tension or struggle to relax the pelvic floor, since the screen shows both contraction and release. If you have incontinence, prolapse, or pelvic pain, biofeedback can make your exercises more effective by ensuring you are training the correct muscles. It is not a quick fix; it works best as part of a consistent routine, often alongside guidance from a pelvic health physiotherapist.

Practical trade-offs: cost, setup, and what it does not do

The NeuroTrac Simplex is an investment compared with basic kegel weights, and it requires you to learn how to place the sensor and interpret the readings. It does not exercise for you; you still need to put in the effort. If you want a device that passively stimulates muscles, a different type of trainer may suit you better. Also, while the device provides objective feedback, it does not replace a proper assessment if you have significant pain, prolapse, or neurological conditions. In those cases, see a clinician first.

Decision rules: Is the NeuroTrac Simplex right for you?

  • You've tried Kegels but aren't sure you're doing them correctly: Biofeedback shows you exactly when your pelvic floor is active, so you can confirm your technique and adjust in real time. Choose the NeuroTrac Simplex if you want objective confirmation that your exercises are working the right muscles.
  • You need to relax a tight pelvic floor, not just strengthen it: The device displays both contraction and relaxation, helping you learn to release tension as well as build strength. This is a strong fit if you have difficulty relaxing your pelvic floor or have been told you have a hypertonic floor.
  • You want a device that does the work for you: The NeuroTrac Simplex is a training aid, not a passive stimulator. You still need to perform the exercises yourself. If you prefer a hands-off approach, consider an electronic pelvic toner instead.
  • You have significant pain, prolapse, or neurological symptoms: Biofeedback can be part of your plan, but it should not replace a proper clinical assessment. See a pelvic health physiotherapist before starting home biofeedback.
