from motherhood to menopause: strengthen your pelvic floor with emsella
The Power of High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) Technology to Strengthen Your Pelvic Floor
Women's bodies experience countless changes throughout life, many of which can have a lasting impact on their physical and emotional wellness. One of those changes is a weakening of the pelvic floor muscles, which may contribute to a range of symptoms that can disrupt daily life.
Though not exclusive to either sex, research shows that 32% of adult women experience at least one pelvic floor disorder. Emsella is a breakthrough alternative to typical treatment methods that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to enhance pelvic muscle function and control. Continue reading to find out if a tailored Emsella program is right for you.
What Is the Pelvic Floor?
Pelvic floor is the name given to the collection of muscles located between the pubis (pubic bone) and the coccyx (tailbone) that provides stability and support for the pelvic organs. In women, this includes the uterus as well as the bowel and bladder. A strong pelvic floor is necessary for normal urinary and bowel function and also plays a role in sexual function and arousal.
Pelvic Floor Weakness In Women
Pelvic floor weakness in women may occur naturally with age and often accompanies the period of transition known as menopause. Pregnancy and childbirth may also contribute to a weak pelvic floor, along with injuries or certain types of surgical procedures (such as a hysterectomy).
Among the most common symptoms of pelvic floor weakness in women is a loss of bladder control, which includes the frequent urge to urinate, bladder leakage, and pain while urinating. Changes in bowel function, including increased straining or constipation, as well as a decline in sexual pleasure or pain in the pelvic area are also associated with weak pelvic floor muscles.
The Benefits of Emsella Therapy
Until recently, common treatment for pelvic floor weakness was a combination of physical therapy (including Kegel exercises), relaxation techniques, and medication for issues with urinary or bowel function. Introduced in 2018 by BTL Industries, Emsella is a pioneering non-invasive treatment to enhance pelvic muscle function and control.
Similar to the contractions performed during Kegel exercises but shown to be 7x more effective in studies, Emsella therapy utilizes electromagnetic energy at a high frequency to deliver in-depth penetration and stimulation of the entire pelvic floor area.
Key physical benefits of Emsella supported by research:
Improved overall pelvic health and muscle tone
Enhanced bladder control
64% improvement in urinary incontinence on average
57% hygiene pad reduction on average
Improved intimate wellness, including muscle tone and pleasure
Additional benefits of Emsella for pelvic floor strengthening:
Non-invasive, with no downtime for recovery
Convenient and fast (only 30 minutes per session)
No undressing, just sit and relax
Better overall quality of life
When your Emsella session begins, you will feel a slight tingling and vibrating sensation in your pelvic floor. This will gradually turn into full contractions, which can be easily adjusted by your wellness technician to ensure they are comfortable and tolerable.
Your Path to Long-term Pelvic Floor Strength
Women of all ages can benefit from adding Emsella to their overall wellness routine. Most women see the best results with a structured approach tailored to their stage of life.
Typically, a 6-session starter series helps to activate and strengthen the pelvic floor, while women experiencing postpartum recovery or menopause-related changes often benefit from a series of 8 to 12 sessions for deeper, longer-lasting support. After completing an initial Emsella program, periodic maintenance sessions help to preserve strength, bladder control, and overall pelvic health for long-term confidence and comfort.
Men Can Benefit from Emsella, Too
While Emsella pelvic floor therapy is commonly associated with pelvic floor health in women, men can also experience meaningful benefits from this non-invasive therapy.
The male pelvic floor plays an important role in urinary control, core stability, and sexual function, and weakness can develop with age, prostate-related changes, surgery, or chronic strain.
Emsella uses HIFEM technology to deliver powerful pelvic floor contractions that exceed what can be achieved through voluntary exercises.
Clinical research has shown improvements in urinary symptoms, bladder control, and sexual function in men, along with measurable enhancements in pelvic muscle and tissue quality that support blood flow and neuromuscular coordination.
Is Emsella Right for You?
For women experiencing frequent urination or bladder issues, those who have a weak pelvic floor following pregnancy or surgery, or those who want to improve core stability and lower back support, Emsella pelvic floor therapy offers a safe and non-invasive solution.
In contrast, Emsella is not recommended for women who are pregnant or planning a pregnancy, or those with a heart disorder, tumors, or metal or electronic implants (including copper IUDs).
