Emsella Chair vs. Kegels and Other Pelvic Floor Treatments
Pelvic health issues like urinary incontinence, sexual dysfunction, and weakened pelvic muscles are not something that you need to live with, and there are a lot of treatment options and providers to choose from. Kegel exercises and the Emsella Chair are two of the most popular treatments out there, so let’s break them down.
What is the Emsella Chair?
The Emsella Chair uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles and even helps create new muscle fibers. This treatment is done fully clothed, is pain-free and non-invasive. You simply sit on this “Kegel Throne” and it will deliver over 11,000 Kegel contractions in a single 28-minute session.
What are Kegel exercises and other Pelvic Floor Therapies?
Kegel exercises are done by intentionally squeezing and releasing the pelvic floor muscles. This can be difficult because when the pelvic floor is weak, it can be challenging to engage the correct muscles without guidance. Another option is to practice Kegels alongside a pelvic floor physiotherapist. The specialist may also include other exercises or modalities like biofeedback, manual therapy, or electrical stimulation. While these can sometimes be effective, these methods are often considered difficult, uncomfortable, very invasive and sometimes even painful.
Let’s Talk Numbers
Traditional pelvic floor therapies typically involve performing around 150–300 Kegel exercises per week, which equals roughly 600–1,200 contractions per month, depending on the program, consistency and if you are engaging your pelvic floor correctly. In contrast, the Emsella Chair delivers over 11,000 supramaximal pelvic floor contractions in a single 28-minute session, done twice a week over the course of 3 weeks. This is far beyond what’s possible with other therapies and at a deeper and more effective intensity.
Who Can Benefit from the Emsella Chair?
Both men and women can benefit from the Emsella Chair, as everyone needs a healthy pelvic floor. This innovative technology is ideal for individuals experiencing weakened pelvic floor muscles due to factors like age, childbirth, or other traumas. If you suffer from frequent nighttime urges, stress, urge incontinence, a weak core, or sexual dysfunction, the Emsella Chair could be the perfect solution for you. Women looking to improve their vaginal health can also combine the Emsella Chair with Emfemme technology. This combination gives a well-rounded approach to vaginal restoration by enhancing tissue elasticity, blood flow, and pelvic floor strength.
The Bottom Line
The Emsella Chair, Kegels, and other pelvic floor therapies can all work if you are consistent, patient, and doing them correctly. But if you want to skip the guesswork and awkwardness and get results faster, then the Emsella offers a life-changing alternative. Your future self will thank you!
