Take Back Control Over Incontinence — and Your Confidence
The pelvic floor muscles form a supportive sling beneath the bladder and other pelvic organs and play a critical role in urinary control. When these muscles are strong, they help maintain proper bladder support and prevent involuntary urine leakage. However, weakened pelvic floor muscles can compromise this support, leading to urinary incontinence such as leakage during coughing, laughing, exercising, or sudden urges. Strengthening the pelvic floor is essential for restoring bladder control and improving wellness.
At The Spa at West Glen, Emsella offers a discreet treatment option for patients seeking to improve pelvic floor function and feel more confident in daily life. Owner and Medical Director Heidi Koch, MD, FAARM, brings decades of medical experience to a practice focused on helping patients feel comfortable discussing personal wellness concerns and finding solutions that fit their needs.
What is EMSELLA?
An innovative solution for incontinence and self-assurance. This groundbreaking technology transforms men and women’s intimate well-being, offering a completely non-invasive alternative to those experiencing incontinence, thereby revolutionizing their quality of life.
Benefits of Emsella
A weak pelvic floor can affect bladder control, confidence, physical activity, and everyday comfort. Emsella is designed to strengthen these muscles through repeated contractions that would be difficult to reproduce voluntarily at the same intensity.
Potential benefits include:
-
Stronger pelvic floor muscles
-
Improved bladder control
-
Reduced episodes of urinary leakage
-
Noninvasive treatment
-
No need to undress
-
No incisions or anesthesia
-
No required downtime
-
A comfortable, discreet treatment experience
For many patients, one of the biggest advantages is convenience. Emsella allows you to work on pelvic floor strength simply by sitting comfortably during treatment.
Candidates for Emsella
Emsella may be appropriate for adults experiencing urinary leakage or pelvic floor muscle weakness. Pelvic floor weakness can occur for many reasons, including pregnancy and childbirth, aging, hormonal changes, certain medical conditions, or changes following pelvic procedures.
You may be a candidate if you experience:
-
Leakage when coughing, laughing, or sneezing
-
Urine leakage during exercise
-
Sudden urges to urinate
-
Reduced confidence in bladder control
-
Pelvic floor weakness
-
A desire for a nonsurgical treatment option
Emsella is not appropriate for everyone. Your medical history should be reviewed before treatment, particularly if you have implanted electronic or metal devices or other conditions that could make electromagnetic treatment unsuitable.
The Emsella Treatment Experience
Emsella treatment is straightforward. You sit fully clothed in the Emsella chair while electromagnetic energy stimulates deep pelvic floor contractions. BTL states that the technology delivers thousands of supramaximal contractions during a single treatment session.
You may feel strong muscle contractions and tingling in the pelvic area, but treatment does not involve needles or an internal device. You can relax during the session and return to your normal routine immediately afterward.
A series of treatments is commonly recommended because pelvic floor strengthening develops progressively. Your provider will determine an appropriate schedule based on your concerns and response to treatment.
Why Choose The Spa at West Glen for Emsella
Pelvic health concerns can feel personal or uncomfortable to discuss, which makes the treatment environment especially important. The Spa at West Glen focuses on creating a setting where you can talk openly about bladder leakage and pelvic floor concerns without embarrassment or judgment. Emsella also allows you to remain fully clothed during treatment, helping make the experience feel private, straightforward, and easy to incorporate into your routine.
