Let EmSella® Do Your Kegel Exercises for You
Incontinence can happen to anyone, and it usually means you have weak pelvic floor muscles. Kegel exercises are the perfect workout but can be tricky to learn and a nuisance to maintain. Now you don’t have to — there’s EmSella®.

When it comes to incontinence, the odds are not in your favor: pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, advancing age, and being overweight or obese all increase your chances of losing a little urine when you least expect it. 

These factors contribute to weakening pelvic floor muscles, which support the uterus, bladder, and bowel.

The time-honored treatment for incontinence caused by these conditions is Kegel exercises. But they’re notorious for being tricky to master, and even those who get the hang of it don’t always keep up with their routine. 

At Revive Health Clinic in Lady Lake, Florida, our experienced providers offer EmSella ®, an FDA-approved, surgery-free treatment that resolves Kegel problems and incontinence.

Our experts administer this quick, noninvasive treatment so you can enjoy months of leak-free laughing, lifting, coughing, and sneezing.

The basics of Kegel exercises

Kegel exercises are beneficial because they target the inner muscles of your pelvic floor, strengthening this vital support system and restoring your ability to hold the urge to urinate. 

The key is finding the right muscles that allow you to start and stop the urine flow. Because these muscles typically contract and relax involuntarily during urinating, you don’t usually have to think about how to flex and release them consciously.

The best way to identify these muscles is to experiment the next time you urinate. Try to stop urinating just a second or two after you start. The muscles that tighten when you do that are the ones you need to work on when you’re not on the toilet. 

You know you’re doing it right if your vagina and anus contract and lift while your thighs and buttocks stay relaxed. You're not alone if you can’t seem to get it right or aren’t sure. That’s where EmSella comes in.

How does EmSella do your Kegel exercises for you?

The EmSella device looks like a regular chair, but it emits high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy into your vaginal tissue, stimulating contractions — about 11,000 contractions. That’s much more than you could hope to do with at-home Kegel exercises.

The treatment requires no effort on your part. You sit comfortably on the EmSella chair for about 30 minutes, watching the television or reading a book. You can not use your cell phone while on the chair.

It’s noninvasive; there’s no poking or prodding — you don’t even remove your clothes.

Because the treatment targets the tissues in your pelvic floor, your muscles contract as if you were doing exercises at a higher, more intense frequency. By exercising for you, EmSella takes the pressure off by learning the proper technique and sticking to your pelvic exercise plan. 

All you feel is a slight vibrating and tingling, and when you’re done, you’re done. There’s no downtime. 

When you first start EmSella treatments, we recommend twice a week for six weeks. After that, your maintenance visits are single sessions every 6-12 months. 

There’s no reason to live with incontinence or struggle with awkward Kegel exercises. Book your EmSella consultation today. Request an appointment online or call Revive Health Clinic at 352-775-6899.
