Strengthening the Pelvic Floor with Emsella: A Breakthrough for Continence Care

Emsella is an innovative, non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate thousands of pelvic floor contractions in just one 30-minute session. Often referred to as the “Kegel chair,” Emsella allows patients to remain fully clothed while experiencing muscle activation at a level far beyond what can be achieved through voluntary exercises alone.

By delivering supramaximal contractions, Emsella retrains and strengthens the pelvic floor, improving muscle tone, bladder support, and overall continence control.

Who Is Emsella For?

Emsella is designed for people experiencing pelvic floor weakness or urinary incontinence. Ideal candidates include:

• Women after childbirth who may have weakened pelvic muscles
• Men recovering from prostate surgery experiencing bladder leakage
• Older adults struggling with pelvic floor strength due to aging
• Patients with stress, urge, or mixed urinary incontinence
• Those unable to perform Kegel exercises correctly or consistently

Emsella is not recommended for pregnant individuals, people with implanted electronic or metal devices, or those with active pelvic infections or open wounds.

The Primary Goal of Emsella: Strengthening the Pelvic Floor

The main purpose of Emsella is to restore and improve pelvic floor strength. A strong pelvic floor provides critical support for the bladder, urethra, and surrounding structures — directly improving continence.

Key Benefits of Emsella for Continence Care:

1. Intense Muscle Training – Emsella produces thousands of contractions per session, retraining and rebuilding pelvic strength.
2. Improved Bladder Control – Stronger muscles reduce leaks from coughing, sneezing, or sudden pressure.
3. Non-Invasive & Comfortable – Patients remain fully clothed during treatment with no downtime.
4. Rapid Results – Many patients notice improvements after just 2–3 sessions.
5. Enhanced Quality of Life – Less leakage often means fewer pads, greater confidence, and improved daily function.

What to Expect from Emsella Treatment

• Treatment Plan: Typically 6 sessions over 3 weeks (2 per week).
• Session Length: About 28–30 minutes each.
• Results: Some improvement may be felt after a few sessions; maximum results usually occur after completing the series.
• Maintenance: Occasional “touch-up” sessions may help sustain results long-term.

Clinical studies and patient feedback often report a significant reduction in pad usage and improvement in continence-related quality of life.

Why Emsella Matters for Advanced Continence Care

For patients who struggle with traditional therapies or pelvic floor exercises, Emsella offers a powerful adjunct solution. By integrating this treatment into a comprehensive continence care plan — including lifestyle changes, bladder training, and pelvic floor therapy — clinicians can help patients regain control, confidence, and comfort.

At Advanced Wound Ostomy & Continence Care, we are committed to providing leading-edge therapies like Emsella to help patients manage incontinence effectively and improve their quality of life.
