When you think about strengthening your muscles, your biceps or abs probably come to mind first—muscles that help you look fit and toned. But much less often do we think about strengthening the muscles we don’t see, like our pelvic floor muscles.
But when your pelvic floor muscles weaken with age, illness, childbirth, or more, it can cause a variety of problems. If you’re experiencing intimate wellness concerns, urinary incontinence, or even pelvic pain, pelvic floor therapy in Thunder Bay, ON, can help.
Let’s take a closer look at our preferred treatment choice for pelvic floor therapy.
The Emsella Treatment
Emsella is a completely unique treatment for your pelvic floor. Rather than a set of injections or an invasive surgery, it’s a chair that can strengthen and tighten your pelvic floor through electromagnetic energy. Patients simply need to sit on the Emsella chair, and it radiates a cone of electromagnetic energy through the treatment area, causing muscle contractions just like the contractions caused by a traditional workout.
As you work through your treatment series, your muscles will continue to strengthen, giving you more bladder control or improving your sexual wellness, depending on your goals.
You may feel some soreness in the treatment area, but this is just a sign that the Emsella device caused contractions as intended. After all, when you feel sore after exercising, you know that you’ve really worked your muscles!
Multiple Treatments for Better Results
Just like how you don’t get six-pack abs after a single trip to the gym, you will need multiple sessions to get the most out of pelvic floor therapy in Thunder Bay, ON.
Traditionally, we recommend about 6 Emsella treatment sessions to get the best possible results. That said, others may need more, depending on their unique anatomy and starting condition.
If a patient receives all 6+ treatments, then they could see the results last for a full year. Some patients even maintain their results indefinitely by scheduling routine maintenance treatments.
