Pelvic Floor Chair Therapy

BTL_Emsella_PIC_Chairmodel_1845-768x1152.jpeg.webp
Pelvic floor chair therapy is a non-invasive electromagnetic stimulation of the Pelvic floor. It is used to strengthen pelvic floor muscles without undressing or inserting probes. It's FDA cleared and is a cutting edge technology which aides in improving pelvic health in women as well as men.

How Does It Work?

  • You sit fully clothed on a medical chair.

  • The chair delivers high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) pulses.

  • These pulses trigger thousands of involuntary pelvic floor contractions in ~25 minutes.

  • One session ≈ 10,000 Kegels.

                                                              What does a session feels like?

  • Tingling → strong rhythmic contractions

  • Feels strange but not painful

  • You remain seated, no recovery time

  • You can return to normal activity immediately

Benefits of the Pelvic Chair

Women

Urinary incontinence

  • Stress incontinence (leakage with coughing, sneezing, exercise)

  • Urge incontinence / overactive bladder

  • Post-partum bladder weakness

  • Perimenopausal and postmenopausal changes

Pelvic organ support (mild prolapse)

  • Early bladder, uterine, or rectal prolapse (grade I–II)

  • Helps reduce symptoms, heaviness, and pressure

⚠️ It does not reverse advanced prolapse but may slow progression.

 Sexual function

  • Improved vaginal tone

  • Increased arousal and orgasm intensity

  • Better lubrication (indirectly, via muscle activation and blood flow)

  • Reduced discomfort related to pelvic weakness​

 Postpartum recovery

  • Re-activates pelvic muscles after vaginal or C-section delivery

  • Useful when women struggle to “feel” or engage pelvic muscles

  • Supports return to exercise and impact activities

Core stability & low back pain

 

  • Pelvic floor works with the diaphragm, transverse abdominis, and multifidus

  • Strengthening improves posture, lifting mechanics, and back comfort

Men


Urinary issues

  • Stress or urge urinary incontinence

  • Post-prostate surgery leakage

  • Weak bladder control​

 Sexual function

  • Mild to moderate erectile dysfunction

  • Improved rigidity and ejaculatory control (via better pelvic muscle strength)​

Core & musculoskeletal support

  • Pelvic instability

  • Low back pain linked to weak pelvic floor

  • Better coordination of core muscles
