Emsella
Pelvic floor therapy you do fully clothed, seated in a chair — one session delivers the equivalent of about 12,000 Kegel contractions, strengthening the muscles behind bladder control and sexual health.

What is Emsella?
Emsella is a non-invasive pelvic floor therapy. The pelvic floor is the hammock of muscles at the base of your pelvis that supports your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs and controls continence. When those muscles weaken — after childbirth, with aging and menopause, or after prostate issues in men — the result can be bladder leaks, urgency, and changes in sexual function. Emsella strengthens those muscles without exercise, surgery, or medication: you simply sit, fully clothed, on a specially designed chair.
How it works
The Emsella chair uses HIFEM technology — high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy — to stimulate the entire pelvic floor at once. The energy triggers deep, powerful muscle contractions called supramaximal contractions, far stronger and more numerous than anything you can do on your own: a single session of about 28 minutes delivers the equivalent of roughly 12,000 Kegel exercises. Because the contractions are generated by the technology rather than by your effort, they also re-educate the muscles and the nerves that control them, restoring strength and control over time. There is nothing to insert, nothing to remove clothing for, and no downtime — you walk in and walk out. A typical plan is a series of six sessions over about three weeks.
Concerns Emsella is commonly used for
- Stress incontinence — leaking when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise
- Urge incontinence and sudden, hard-to-hold urges
- Mixed incontinence
- Waking at night to urinate (nocturia)
- Pelvic floor weakness after childbirth
- Pelvic floor changes with menopause
- Sexual health for women — stronger pelvic floor muscles support sensation, arousal, and orgasm
- Sexual health for men — pelvic floor strength supports erectile function and control
- Pelvic floor weakness in men, including after prostate treatment (ask about your situation)
- Core and pelvic stability support
Emsella is for both women and men, and it is one of the most private, low-effort ways to address a problem many people are embarrassed to bring up. Suitability is confirmed at a consultation — certain implanted devices and medical conditions rule it out — and individual results vary.
