Transform your pelvic health with the Emsella Chair at our Saffron Walden clinic
Many women and men find it difficult to talk about their pelvic floor health but we are passionate about breaking down this taboo at our Saffron Walden clinic.
Women in particular face many physical challenges, including childbirth and menopause, which can impact their pelvic floor and leave them struggling with the issues of urinary or stress incontinence.
Imagine if sitting down for 28 minutes could help give you back control over your body?
The BTL Emsella Chair treatment can make this a reality.
Understanding Incontinence and Its Impact
According to the NHS, around 423 million people have urinary incontinence or the unintentional passing of urine, while one in three women experiences bladder weakness after giving birth.
Our pelvic floor muscles are important. They support organs including our bladder but, over time, these pelvic muscles can slacken or weaken.
Natural body ageing in everyone, as well as vaginal childbirth and menopause in women, are major causes of a deterioration in our pelvic floor, potentially leading to reduced bladder control and incontinence.
There are several different forms of incontinence:
Stress incontinence
Leakage occurs when your bladder is under pressure, for example while laughing, sneezing or coughing.
Urge incontinence
Also known as urgency incontinence or an overactive bladder, this leak happens when people have a sudden and overwhelming need to urinate.
Mixed incontinence
A combination of both stress urinary incontinence and urge incontinence.
Overflow incontinence
Also known as chronic urinary retention, this happens when you're unable to fully empty your bladder, causing frequent leaks.
Total incontinence
Your bladder is unable to store any urine, prompting constant urination or frequent leaks.
We understand that any form of urinary incontinence, prompted by a drop in pelvic floor strength, can have a significant impact on people's quality of life.
While pelvic floor exercises and Kegel exercises can help, not everyone can do enough to treat urinary incontinence effectively.
Having any type of incontinence due to weak pelvic floor muscles can negatively affect their mental and intimate health. Because of the taboo surrounding urinary incontinence, critical support can be lacking.
That's where our Saffron Walden clinic and the Emsella Chair come in.
What is the BTL Emsella Chair?
The BTL Emsella Chair, also called the pelvic floor chair, is at the forefront of battling urinary incontinence.
It uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to contract all the muscles of the pelvic floor, bolstering bladder control and restoring confidence.
The Emsella Chair delivers the equivalent of 11,000 Kegel exercises to weakened pelvic floor muscles in a single 28-minute session.
These pelvic floor muscle contractions penetrate our core to an impressive depth of 10cm, stimulating the entire pelvic floor region. That's far beyond what humans can achieve with Kegel exercises, helping to reduce urinary leakage.
The best news? That's just the start.
The benefits of boosting your pelvic floor muscles
As well as providing unmatched pelvic floor muscle training, the Emsella Chair treatment has other significant advantages.
Reduced or eliminated urinary incontinence
Following a course of Emsella Chair sessions, your weakened pelvic floor muscles will be strengthened and pelvic organs supported, boosting your bladder control and reducing urinary incontinence.
Convenient and comfortable
You don't need to get undressed for a session in the Emsella Chair. Just sit down and let the high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy do its work.
No recovery time
Because the pelvic floor treatment is non-invasive and hassle-free - patients literally sit in a chair - there is practically zero down time or recovery time from an Emsella Chair treatment. This may vary depending on criteria including your age and physical condition.
Tangible results within weeks
In general, patients begin to feel tangible results right after their treatment. Positive results typically continue to improve over the next few weeks.
Enhances intimate experiences
Women with a weakened pelvic floor can face challenges such as vaginal laxity or difficulty reaching orgasm. Around 40% of men struggle with erectile dysfunction, as well as issues including premature ejaculation and post-exercise leakage.
Men using the Emsella Chair to treat urinary incontinence can also experience enhanced penile rigidity, better erection control and extended time until ejaculation.
For women looking to treat vaginal laxity (while also treating stress incontinence or urinary incontinence), have found the pelvic floor treatment can enhance their ability to achieve orgasm.
