I also have a TENS device that includes a rectal probe. Did you use it in the same way, or did you have pads that you applied to the skin? It would be very interesting to know how one can specifically target the muscles you mentioned using it. I assume you used a low frequency? Thank you.

I used electrodes, not a probe. There is a description of how I used the TENS unit in this topic: viewtopic.php?f=36&t=5266
