NON-INVASIVE INCONTINENCE TREATMENT
STRENGTHEN PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLES
The Emsella Chair is a noninvasive therapy that stimulates weak and loose pelvic floor muscles with HIFEM energy. HIFEM, or High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic energy, stimulates numerous kegels, activating contractions in the pelvis. Strengthening these muscles in a short 30-minute session can help re-educate pelvic muscles, address sexual dysfunction, incontinence, and poor bladder control in both men and women.

What is Emsella, and What Does it Do?
Emsella utilizes non-invasive technology to rehabilitate and re-educate the neuromuscular control of the pelvic floor muscles, treating both male and female urinary incontinence, and improving symptoms related to sexual wellness.
What are Kegels and How Do They Help?
Patients with loose or weakened pelvic floors are often prescribed neuromuscular control activities such as kegels, which can address sexual dysfunctions, incontinence, postpartum recovery, bowel dysfunction, pelvic pain, and more. Kegels are performed by actively contracting the pelvic floor, a complex network of small muscles that have a profound influence on daily life. Strengthening the function of these muscles, if weakened, can lead to various improvements in sexual health and overall well-being for adults of all ages.
Patients who already incorporate Kegels into their health regimen may consider the Emsella chair as a supplemental approach to their pelvic health. Emsella is an advanced therapy that utilizes non-invasive energy to stimulate numerous kegel exercises to the pelvic region passively. Patients who struggle with some of the symptoms below may benefit from the Emsella chair alongside traditional pelvic floor therapy.
How Does Emsella Work?
The Emsella Chair utilizes one primary mechanism to stimulate numerous kegels: high-intensity focused Electromagnetic energy, or HIFEM.
-
High-intensity focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy stimulates the pelvic floor muscles with numerous contractions that mimic a Kegel exercise, but with greater speed and intensity. Like the Emsculpt Neo, this technology activates muscle growth and muscle strength. It works by contracting pelvic muscles, increasing the number of Kegels one can usually do. In a single 30-minute session, it delivers over 11,000 Kegel activations. This highlights Emsella as a powerful option for patients with limited mobility, disability, exercise intolerance, and as a supplemental therapy for those struggling with incontinence and other sexual wellness concerns.

Emsella Benefits
Emsella treatments come with various possible benefits for both men and women:
-
Strengthens the pelvic floor
-
Increased bladder control & urinary urge
-
Improved sexual health & stronger orgasms
-
Decrease in incontinence symptoms
-
Better pelvic muscle control
-
Reduction or elimination of pads
-
Vaginal tightening and dryness control
-
Improved erectile function
What Can it Help?
While the Emsella is primarily approved for male and female incontinence and pelvic neuromuscular control, individuals also report positive benefits for:
-
Urinary incontinence
-
Post-prostate surgery incontinence
-
Low sexual desire
-
Vaginal dryness
-
Vaginal laxity
-
Low libido
-
Erectile dysfunction
-
Low orgasm strength
Core To Floor: Emsella & Emsculpt Neo Combination
Core to Floor is a treatment that combines Emsella and Emsculpt Neo technologies. This powerful duo can strengthen and activate the abdomen and pelvic musculature. Emsculpt Neo's mechanisms of action are similar to Emsella's. In addition to using HIFEM energy, like Emsella, to build muscle and strength, RF energy is also employed to eliminate fat. This session aims to strengthen the pelvic floor (Emsella) while burning fat and building muscle in the abdomen (Emsculpt Neo). Depending on your goals, this is an effective choice to maximize your results and overall health. In a Core to Floor Treatment, therapies are performed in succession, not simultaneously.
While the Core to Floor treatment targets the pelvic floor and the abdomen, Emsculpt Neo treatments are not limited to abdominal activation but target other major muscle groups, such as the arms, legs, and buttocks. You can learn more about Emsculpt Neo by clicking the button below.
Emsculpt Neo Benefits:
-
25% increase in muscle size
-
29% increase in muscle strength
-
30% decrease in fat

THE BRAIN IS THE ORGAN OF BEHAVIOREmotions are reflections of the energy in the brain: excess Beta can produce anxiety, too much frontal Alpha can result in depression, and elevated Theta can produce ADD. Re-training brainwaves allows the central nervous system to learn how to self-regulate, directing it away from debilitating, painful, destructive disorders. Research and clinical studies show that many cognitive conditions which are unresponsive to medication or psychotherapy can be resolved with neurofeedback in 20-40 sessions. Some chronic disorders spanning many years, including those complicated by substance abuse, can show improvement after just one session!
-
WHAT IS NEUROFEEDBACK?Neurofeedback works by reconnecting functional pathways in the brain through audio and video stimulation, which reinforces the brain when it’s operating in normal ranges. Eventually, the brain learns to stay in the healthy ranges independent of the computer-driven training program. Neurofeedback does not target any disorder, rather it changes timing and activation patterns in the brain. This improves brain regulation, which can impact a variety of symptoms. Different brain areas are targeted depending on the symptoms, which reflect brain dysfunctions. The brain is a highly complex organ made up of billions of cells called neurons, which send and receive messages to and from all parts of your body. These messages are electrical impulses that create brain waves.
-
WHAT IS A BRAIN MAP?A brain map is an important tool we use to evaluate our brainwaves and identify opportunities to improve communication between various regions of the brain. The brain map can capture a window of brain activity, analyze the data, and create a visual representation of each lobe of the brain and each specific brainwave (Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta). Once a brain map is analyzed, neurofeedback sessions can be performed to train your brain back into healthy patterns. The first step is to record an image of the brain. This non-invasive process involves recording brainwaves for six minutes with eyes open and six more minutes with eyes closed.
-
HOW WE ANALYZE THE RESULTSYour EEG recording is uploaded to a safe database that compares your brain to individuals of the same age and gender who have normal brain function. Your brain map report identifies any emotional and cognitive issues by showing the areas of the brain that are operating outside of the normal range. A suggested protocol is generated and is designed to stabilize the area of the brain which has been identified as the most abnormal.
-
HOW LONG ARE THE SESSIONS?These sessions execute the protocols from the brain map to correct and repair neural pathways. Sessions last 30 minutes, and involve watching a movie or listening to music while wearing photic light glasses. These glasses use light emissions to stimulate the brain and improve the effects of neurofeedback. Patients typically take 1 to 3 sessions per week for a total of 20 to 40 sessions. 30 years of research suggests that the results of neurofeedback are long-lasting.
