What Is the Emsella Chair?
It is not uncommon to experience incontinence as we age. It is also a common occurrence after having children or surgery. In order to reduce the symptoms, it is important to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. This is the region around the lower abdominal area that helps you ‘hold it’ when you have to go to the bathroom. If they become weakened, then you are less likely to maintain control.
Emsella Chair is a new option for patients who may not be getting the maximum strength they seek from traditional therapies such as kegel exercises. It can also be done as a complementary therapy to help strengthen these muscles and keep you feeling comfortable. Emsella Chair is the use of electromagnetic pulses to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
How Does It Work?
There are many different ways to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Your healthcare provider will review the options available and offer solutions based on your individual health needs and requirements. One of the suggestions they may make is the Emsella chair, which is a modern and innovative way to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Patients are asked to sit on an electromagnetic device, which uses a High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Field (HIFEM) to generate pulses that stimulate the supra-maximal pelvic floor muscles, which causes them to contract.
This continued contracting helps build up strength in the pelvic floor muscle, improving your ability to control this area of your body. The device is non-invasive so patients do not have to worry about feeling uncomfortable or nervous. Treatments usually require six sessions for maximum effect. Patients do not feel any pain or discomfort during the procedure, except for some tingling as the muscles grow stronger.
Best Candidates for Emsella Chair Treatment
The science around pelvic floor muscle strengthening continues to find new and better ways to reduce the impact of incontinence. As a result, more people are able to enjoy life without the worry or stress of incontinence, which can have a serious effect on both mental and physical health. There are many people who can benefit from this type of procedure. People who have recently experienced having a baby, are among those who are most likely to see improvement using an Emsella chair. As it is an exercise-free option for improving pelvic floor strength, it is also a great option for new mothers who may not have the physical strength to do traditional kegel exercises.
Seniors and those with limited mobility will also experience positive results, as this kind of therapy does not require physical exertion.
Urinary Incontinence Treatment
Many people will experience urinary incontinence in their lifetime. Having a child, age, or an injury can all play a role in the depletion of the pelvic floor muscles. If left untreated, some people can lose their ability to hold it when they have to go to the bathroom, resulting in the need to use incontinence products. It can also leave sufferers afraid to leave their homes or enjoy their favourite activities.
Urinary incontinence can be the result of many factors and is common in both men and women. There are three identified types of incontinence, including:
Incontinence can develop during or after pregnancy, as well as during menopause. It can also be the result of weakened pelvic floor muscles as you age. Stress and urge incontinence can benefit significantly from pelvic floor muscle training. Improving your ability to hold urine longer.
