A non-invasive way to address postpartum changes, mild incontinence, and pelvic floor weakness.
Pelvic floor weakness is a topic women rarely raise at first consultation. The symptoms, mild incontinence when laughing or coughing, postpartum changes, reduced sensation, are often quietly tolerated.
The Emsella chair is one of the most quietly transformative treatments we offer for these concerns. You sit, fully clothed, on a chair that delivers focused electromagnetic energy to the pelvic floor muscles. Each session, around 28 minutes, triggers thousands of supramaximal contractions, far more than any voluntary Kegel routine could achieve.
A typical course is six to twelve sessions, twice a week for three to six weeks. Many clients notice improvement after two or three sessions, with the durable change building across the full course.
The treatment is not just for postpartum women. We see clients across all life stages. Perimenopausal and postmenopausal women dealing with tissue laxity. Younger athletes whose high-impact training has weakened the pelvic floor. Men with mild urinary incontinence, sexual wellness concerns, or post-prostatectomy recovery (with surgeon's clearance).
There is no pain. The sensation is a deep contraction, similar to a strong workout in the pelvic area. You can read, work, or rest during the session. No recovery period afterwards.
Who should not have it. Anyone with metal implants in the treatment area. Pacemakers and other electronic implants. Pregnancy. Active pelvic infection. We screen carefully at consultation.
For women dealing with postpartum changes or mild incontinence, this is often the first treatment we recommend before any more invasive option. It is dignified, fully clothed, and reliably effective. The conversation it deserves to start is the one we are happy to lead.
