Are you just starting home electrotherapy and looking for the clearest entry-level option? Or do you want a reliable device for pelvic floor awareness and incontinence at an affordable price? The Globus Genesy SII is the Genesy family's most budget-friendly model. A 2-channel (4 electrodes) device with 60 programs tailored to specific complaints: pain relief (TENS), muscle strengthening and rehabilitation (EMS), and active-substance delivery (iontophoresis). One of its main strengths: specifically optimized for incontinence treatment (compatible probes: PeriSphera O and PeriProbe Analis), so it can be a home pelvic floor rehabilitation tool. If you don't need 4-channel treatments, advanced microcurrent, or denervated-muscle programs, the Genesy SII is the logical, best value entry point to Globus quality. Why might the Genesy SII be a good choice for you? Three treatment modes in a compact device TENS (pain relief), EMS (muscle strengthening, rehabilitation) and iontophoresis (drug delivery) – covering basic home use. 60 complaint-specific programs 16 TENS programs (chronic pain, sciatica, menstrual pain, muscle pain), 11 rehabilitation programs, 9 prevention programs, 3 incontinence programs, plus 12 sport and 8 fitness/beauty/wellness programs. Treatment with intracavitary probes Specifically suitable for incontinence treatment: can be combined with Globus pelvic probes (PeriSphera O vaginal, PeriProbe Analis anal). Suitable for stress, urge and mixed incontinence. Compact, portable, affordable The Genesy family's most affordable entry price. Built-in battery, carrying case, and the ability to create 6 custom programs. Ideal as a first home electrotherapy device. Is this suitable for my complaint? Find your situation in the list below. If you find it, the Genesy SII will most likely be able to help — in consultation with your treating physician or physiotherapist. If you have chronic low back, neck, shoulder or muscle pain For chronic low back, neck or shoulder pain, the 16 TENS programs can bring immediate, noticeable relief (pain perception decreases during treatment). Typical programs: chronic pain, muscle pain, sciatica. Important to know: if your pain is deeper muscle- or joint-origin and TENS alone does not provide sufficient relief, consider the Genesy 1500, which also offers interferential (IF) currents. Details: TENS. If you have pelvic floor muscle weakness or incontinence If you lose urine involuntarily (when coughing, sneezing, during physical activity), or are suddenly forced to the toilet by urgency — the Genesy SII’s 3 incontinence programs are suitable for treating all three types (stress, urge, mixed). Combined with Globus pelvic probes (PeriSphera O vaginal, PeriProbe Analis anal), home pelvic floor rehabilitation can be performed. Male urinary leakage and fecal incontinence can also be treated. Important to know: probes are sold separately (not included in the package). Consultation with a urologist, gynecologist or physiotherapist is recommended before treatment. If you are recovering from surgery or a cast and need to regain muscle strength After surgery, a fracture cast or prolonged rest, your muscles quickly weaken. The Genesy SII’s 11 rehabilitation programs and EMS package actively work your muscles, even when you cannot move at full strength due to pain. Programs designed for functional regeneration, muscle strength recovery, and post-immobilization rehabilitation. Important to know: consult your treating physician about the appropriate start time and electrode placement before post-operative use. If you are an amateur athlete and want training support 12 sport programs: warm-up, maximal strength, endurance strength, explosive power, capillarization, active recovery. Plus 9 prevention programs — for injury prevention and muscle balance improvement. Important to know: the Genesy SII is specifically recommended for amateur athletes. For professional-level needs — maximal strength development, ActionNow programs, Kotz Russian stimulation — consider the Genesy 1500 or Genesy 3000. EMS does not replace training — it complements it. If you also want beauty/wellness goals 8 fitness, beauty and wellness programs: body shaping, firming, contouring, programs specifically supporting post-pregnancy body recovery. EMS stimulation enhances muscle tissue metabolism similarly to exercise. Important to know: beauty programs are complementary — for fitness and posture, exercise, proper nutrition and lifestyle remain the primary methods. If you have arthritis or a sports injury With the iontophoresis program (channel 1) you can deliver an anti-inflammatory (e.g. diclofenac) or another physician-recommended preparation under the skin — deeper than a simple cream. Typical uses: tennis elbow, heel spur, shoulder inflammation, sports injuries. Important to know: the iontophoresis sponge insert is sold separately. Choosing the active substance is a medical task — consult your treating physician or pharmacist. Details: Iontophoresis. Note: for wound-healing support, microcurrent (MENS) is appropriate — the Genesy SII DOES NOT include microcurrent; consider the Genesy 300 Pro or a larger model for that. If you need iontophoresis treatment for Peyronie’s disease Iontophoresis — delivering specific drugs (e.g. verapamil) transcutaneously according to a urological protocol — can be used in the treatment of Peyronie’s disease (penile curvature, plaque formation). The Genesy SII iontophoresis program can be applied for this. Important to know: the treatment protocol and active substance must be determined exclusively by a urology specialist. Do not experiment on your own. If you are new to electrotherapy and don’t want to spend much The Genesy SII is the Genesy family’s most affordable entry model. It delivers the basic home electrotherapy experience (TENS pain relief + EMS muscle strengthening + iontophoresis) with a Hungarian-language menu and complaint-specific programs. Important to know: if later you feel you need microcurrent, FES, denervated muscle programs, or 4-channel operation, the Genesy 300 Pro / 600 / 1500 / 3000 are available. The Genesy SII is a typical beginner device for those who want to try electrotherapy at home at a basic level. How to use the Genesy SII at home? 1 Turn on the device After switching on, the menu appears. Read the user manual first — the 60 program names and functions are easy to browse. 2 Select the program that matches your complaint Choose the program based on the specific complaint (e.g. “Chronic pain”, “Maximal strength”, “Stress incontinence”). The device automatically sets the appropriate current type, frequency and pulse width. 3 Attach the electrodes (or insert the probe) For general treatment: place the adhesive electrodes included in the package around the painful area or the muscle, according to your physiotherapist’s recommendation. For incontinence treatment: insert the probe purchased for this purpose (PeriSphera O vaginal or PeriProbe Analis anal) according to the user manual. 4 Set to a comfortable level Start the program and slowly increase intensity with the intensity button. For TENS, increase to a pleasant tingling; for EMS, to a noticeable (but pain-free) muscle contraction. For incontinence treatment, set to the level recommended by your physiotherapist. If you feel pain, reduce immediately. 5 Relax during the treatment Sitting or lying down, you can watch TV, read or rest. A typical session is 15–60 minutes. The device stops automatically at the end. 6 Save your favorites Add well-working programs to Favorites. You can save up to 6 custom programs — modified or created from scratch — if your physiotherapist recommended individualized settings. Which treatment methods are included, and what are they good for? The Genesy SII contains three different electrotherapy methods. Here are the most important differences from a patient perspective: TENS – for pain relief: a noticeable tingling on the skin that reduces pain perception during the treatment. For acute and chronic pains (back, neck, shoulder, menstrual pain, muscle pain). 16 complaint-specific programs. Details: TENS. EMS / NMES – for muscle strengthening and rehabilitation: induces visible muscle contractions that “exercise” the muscle. For post-operative rehabilitation, prevention of muscle atrophy, and amateur sports strengthening. 11 rehab + 9 prevention + 12 sport + 8 fitness/beauty programs. Plus 3 dedicated incontinence programs (stress, urge, mixed) — combined with pelvic probes. Details: EMS. Iontophoresis – for delivering anti-inflammatory agents: uses direct current to help an active substance (e.g. diclofenac) penetrate deeper under the skin than a simple cream. Typical uses: tennis elbow, heel spur, Peyronie’s disease (with urological protocol). Details: Iontophoresis. Important to know: the Genesy SII is the Globus entry model, therefore it DOES NOT include: Microcurrent (MENS/MCR) — for wound healing, chronic tendinopathy, finer substance delivery. Available from the Genesy 300 Pro and larger models. FES (functional electrical stimulation) — for post-stroke rehab. Also available from the Genesy 300 Pro. Denervated muscle program — for peripheral paralysis. First available in the Genesy 600. Kotz and interferential (IF) currents — for sporty maximal strength and deep muscle/joint complaints. Included in the Genesy 1500. If you are unsure which method matches your complaint, read my decision-support guide: Which electrotherapy is good for what. What do you get in the box? The basic accessories are included. The iontophoresis sponge insert and pelvic probes are sold separately. 1 pc Globus Genesy SII device 2 pcs electrode cables (for TENS, EMS programs) 4 pcs 50×50 mm adhesive square electrodes 4 pcs 50×90 mm adhesive rectangular electrodes 1 pc battery charger Built-in Ni‑MH rechargeable battery 1 pc carrying case 1 pc Hungarian user manual For incontinence treatment: pelvic probes (sold separately) If you want to use the Genesy SII for incontinence treatment, the appropriate probe is sold separately (not part of the package). The probe surfaces are coated with gold leaf — usable even in cases of metal allergy: PeriSphera O – vaginal probe: for general incontinence treatment (stress, urge, mixed). PeriProbe Analis – anal probe: for fecal incontinence and male urinary leakage treatment. Important to know: probe selection and treatment protocol should be recommended by a urologist, gynecologist or physiotherapist specialist. Probes are for personal use and should not be shared. Maintenance and lifespan — what to expect? Adhesive electrodes typically last for 25–30 sessions — replace them when adhesion weakens or the foil detaches. The device comes with a 1-year warranty; the manufacturer recommends inspection every 2 years. For optimal battery capacity, check every 6 months. Clean the device with a damp, clean cloth — for disinfection, a diluted sodium hypochlorite solution is appropriate (the user manual describes details). Frequently asked questions before purchase Is it safe with a pacemaker or implanted defibrillator? Generally no. With a pacemaker, implanted defibrillator (ICD), nerve stimulator or hearing implant, electrotherapy is contraindicated — only with cardiologist/arrhythmologist approval. Details in the article electrical treatment and implants. Can I use it at home without help? Yes, the Genesy SII is optimized for home use — compact size, pre-set programs. Before the first treatment, consult your treating physician or physiotherapist about which program is recommended for your specific complaint. For incontinence treatment, probe selection and protocol are specialist tasks. For new, worsening or unknown complaints, always seek medical consultation first. What is the difference between the Genesy SII and the Genesy 300 Pro for my situation? The two devices differ significantly: Number of channels: Genesy SII 2 channels (4 electrodes) — you can treat 1–2 areas at once. Genesy 300 Pro 4 channels — can treat 2 people or 2 body areas simultaneously. Current types: Genesy SII only TENS, EMS, iontophoresis (3). Genesy 300 Pro also includes microcurrent (MENS/MCR) and FES (5 current types). Programs: Genesy SII 60 programs. Genesy 300 Pro 90+ programs. Incontinence focus: the Genesy SII is specifically compatible with Globus pelvic probes (PeriSphera O, PeriProbe Analis). Price: Genesy SII is significantly more affordable (~50% cheaper). If you need basic TENS-EMS-iontophoresis + incontinence, the Genesy SII is a good starter choice. If you need microcurrent (wound healing) or FES (stroke rehab), choose the Genesy 300 Pro. How should I use it for incontinence? First buy the probe suitable for your complaint: PeriSphera O (for women, vaginal, general incontinence) or PeriProbe Analis (for male urinary leakage, fecal incontinence). The probe is sold separately. From the Genesy SII menu select the appropriate one of the 3 dedicated incontinence programs: stress incontinence (urine loss with coughing, sneezing, physical activity), urge incontinence (sudden uncontrollable need to void), or mixed incontinence (both). Consultation with a urologist, gynecologist or pelvic-floor physiotherapist is mandatory before starting treatment. How long until I feel the effect? It depends on the method. TENS: immediate pain relief during the session. EMS (muscle strengthening): after 4–6 weeks of regular training. Incontinence treatment: meaningful improvement after 6–12 weeks of regular use. Iontophoresis: after 3–6 weeks. Chronic complaints require patience — do not expect immediate miracles. If there is no change after 6–8 weeks, consult your physician about continuing. Can I use it during pregnancy? Generally no. Electrotherapy is not recommended throughout pregnancy — even for incontinence programs. After delivery, in the postpartum period (typically after 6–8 weeks) pelvic floor rehabilitation may be started with the gynecologist’s and physiotherapist’s approval. Can it replace my physiotherapy or pelvic-floor training? No. Electrotherapy is an adjunct, not an alternative. EMS programs and incontinence treatments help restore muscle strength, but conscious muscle control, coordination and lifestyle changes are guided by the physiotherapist. For pelvic floor rehabilitation, conscious Kegel exercises and appropriate lifestyle (weight control, fluid intake) remain primary. Can I create my own program? Yes, the Genesy SII allows creation of 6 custom programs — you can set individualized parameters recommended by your physiotherapist. (Note: larger Genesy models (300 Pro, 600, 1500, 3000) support 15 custom programs per user.) Technical data — what they mean for you?

If you have a pacemaker, implanted defibrillator (ICD), nerve stimulator or other active implant — only with cardiologist/arrhythmologist approval. Do not place electrodes on the front of your neck (around the carotid artery). If you are a cancer patient and the treatment area would be affected — consult your oncologist first. If you are pregnant — avoid use throughout the entire pregnancy (including incontinence treatment). Do not place electrodes on your head, around the eyes or on the temples. Do not run current through your chest (one electrode front, one electrode back) — risk of cardiac rhythm disturbance. Do not stimulate the chest and back muscles simultaneously. If you have new, worsening or unexplained pain — have it medically investigated first. Do not treat over open wounds, dermatological conditions or fresh scars. Not recommended in feverish or unknown-source inflammatory conditions. If you have a blood clot (DVT) in the treatment area — prohibited due to embolization risk. In poorly controlled epilepsy — individual medical judgment is required. For probe use in incontinence: active urinary tract infection, vaginal inflammation, fresh pelvic surgical wound — start treatment only with specialist approval. Unsure? Consult your treating physician or physiotherapist before use. Read details in the article electrical treatment contraindications.
