Why It Matters

When Bladder Leaks Call for Pelvic Floor Therapy

Understanding Pelvic Support

You map the bathrooms before you leave the house. You skip the trampoline with the grandkids, laugh with a hand pressed to your stomach, and pack a spare pair of underwear for a round of golf. Maybe it started after a delivery, after menopause, or after prostate surgery, and it has quietly narrowed what you say yes to.

Most people never mention it, not even to a doctor, because it feels embarrassing. It is not rare, and it is not something you have to live with.

The muscles that hold the bladder closed can be retrained, and the Emsella chair does the training for you. You sit fully clothed for 28 minutes while focused electromagnetic energy contracts the entire pelvic floor thousands of times, far deeper than any Kegel done on your own.

Most patients complete six sessions across about three weeks and notice fewer leaks, fewer urgent dashes and fewer nighttime trips. Nothing is injected, nothing is removed, and you drive yourself home.

Understanding Your Treatment

What Is Pelvic Floor Therapy with Emsella?

The Science of HIFEM Energy

Pelvic floor therapy with Emsella is a non-invasive treatment delivered through the seat of the BTL Emsella chair, which uses high intensity focused electromagnetic energy, or HIFEM. It is FDA cleared to treat urinary incontinence and strengthen the muscles that support the bladder.

You sit fully clothed while that field drives supramaximal contractions of the whole pelvic floor, deeper than any contraction you can make on your own. One 28 minute session delivers thousands of them, and strength builds over a series of six sessions. Patients with dryness or laxity often add vaginal rejuvenation at Desert Oasis Wellness and Med Spa.

Treatment Timeline:

First Signs:
2 to 3 sessions in (fewer urgent trips)
Full Effect:
4 weeks after last visit (strength keeps building)
Treatment Time:

Recovery:

Is This Right for You

Who Is a Good Candidate for Pelvic Floor Therapy?

Finding Your Best Result

Pelvic floor therapy with Emsella suits adults whose pelvic floor has weakened with age, childbirth, menopause or prostate surgery, and who want to address it without needles, surgery or an internal device. It is a good fit for people who have tried Kegels and could not tell whether they were doing them correctly.

Ideal Candidates for Pelvic Floor Therapy with Emsella

  • Women with mild to moderate stress or urge leaking who want a non-surgical option
  • Postpartum patients cleared by their physician who have lost pelvic tone
  • Women in perimenopause or menopause noticing new bladder urgency
  • Men with leaking related to age or recovery after prostate surgery
  • Patients who can commit to six sessions across roughly three weeks
  • Anyone who has already been evaluated for other causes of bladder control problems

Who Should Wait or Avoid Pelvic Floor Therapy with Emsella

  • Pregnancy, or the early postpartum period before your physician clears you
  • Cardiac pacemakers, implanted defibrillators, neurostimulators or drug pumps
  • Metal implants, plates, screws, joint replacements or a copper intrauterine device in the pelvic region
  • Active malignancy, a seizure disorder, or fever and active infection on treatment day
  • Significant pelvic organ prolapse or leaking that has not yet been evaluated by a physician

Leaking is common and usually treatable, but it can also point to infection, prolapse, a medication effect or a neurological cause. The National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases recommends that bladder control problems be evaluated rather than managed alone. Anything beyond mild symptoms, and anything involving pain, blood or fever, should be seen by a physician before you begin a series.

Your Experience

What Happens During an Emsella Session

Step-by-Step Process

  1. Consultation

    Your provider reviews your symptoms, medical history and any implants before your first session.

  2. Getting Seated

    You sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair and your provider positions you over the coil in the seat.

  3. Treatment

    Twenty eight minutes of deep pelvic contractions, with intensity raised only as far as you approve.

  4. Wrap Up

    Your provider schedules the rest of your six session series and answers questions in private.

Risks and Side Effects

What You Should Know

Common Emsella Side Effects

Emsella is well tolerated and there is no recovery period. During the session you feel a strong tingling and a rhythmic pulling deep in the pelvis, which most patients find odd on the first visit and routine by the second. Mild pelvic soreness, similar to the day after a workout, can follow and usually settles within a day or two.

Rare Complications

Less common reactions include pelvic aching that lingers for several days, mild discomfort in the hips or lower back, and a brief increase in urinary urgency while the muscles respond. Nothing is injected, inserted or cut, so there is no bruising, no wound and no infection risk.

Safety and Device Status

Emsella is an FDA cleared medical device, and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration regulates devices in this class before they may be marketed. Your provider screens every patient for pacemakers, implanted metal, copper IUDs and pregnancy at each visit. Tell us if any symptom worsens instead of improving.

Pricing and Payment Options

How Much Does Pelvic Floor Therapy with Emsella Cost?

Emsella is quoted as a series rather than a single visit, because the standard protocol is six sessions across about three weeks. What you pay depends on how many sessions your symptoms call for, whether you plan maintenance later in the year, and whether you combine it with other treatments. Exact pricing will be discussed during your personalized consultation at Desert Oasis Wellness and Med Spa.

Packages and Combinations

Series pricing is available when sessions are booked together. Patients who are also dealing with dryness, laxity or menopausal change often pair the chair with Emfemme 360 and Forma V treatments, and many combine it with other wellness treatments in Lake Havasu City such as hormone therapy. Ask about current specials when you call.

Flexible Payment Options

We want treatment to fit your budget, so we work with two financing partners.

  • Cherry - a quick application with monthly payment plans and no hard credit check to see your options.
  • CareCredit - a healthcare credit line with promotional financing periods.

Call Desert Oasis Wellness and Med Spa at (928) 889-0155 and we will walk you through both.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Pelvic Floor Therapy

How much does pelvic floor therapy with Emsella cost in Lake Havasu City?
Emsella is priced as a series rather than a single visit, because the standard protocol is six sessions across about three weeks. The figure depends on how many sessions your symptoms call for and whether you add maintenance later. We give you a firm number at your consultation, and both Cherry and CareCredit financing are available.
Does the Emsella chair hurt?
No, Emsella does not hurt. You feel a strong tingling and a rhythmic pulling deep in the pelvis as the muscles contract, which feels unusual for the first few minutes and then simply feels like effort. There is no needle and no numbing required. Your provider raises the intensity only as far as you approve.
Do I have to undress for Emsella?
No, you stay fully clothed for the entire session. You sit on the Emsella chair in your own clothes, and nothing is removed, inserted or applied to the skin. We simply ask you to avoid metal zippers, belts and coins across the pelvic area. Many patients say this is why they finally booked.
How long does an Emsella session take?
Each Emsella session takes 28 minutes. Allow about 45 minutes at the clinic for check in, positioning and questions afterward. Most patients read or scroll through their phone during the session. The standard protocol is six sessions, usually two a week for three weeks.
When will I see results from pelvic floor therapy?
Most patients notice a change after the second or third session, often fewer daytime leaks or one less trip out of bed at night. Improvement continues through the full series, and the strongest results usually arrive about four weeks after the final session, once the pelvic floor has finished rebuilding.
How long do Emsella results last?
Results from a completed Emsella series typically hold for six months to a year. Pelvic floor muscle behaves like muscle anywhere else and gradually loses tone, so most patients book a single maintenance session every six to twelve months. Keeping up daily pelvic floor exercises at home extends the benefit.
How many Emsella sessions do I need?
Six sessions is the standard protocol, scheduled twice a week across about three weeks. Some patients with longer standing symptoms add a session or two. Consistency matters, because the muscle response builds across the whole series rather than in any single visit. Your provider sets your schedule at the consultation.
What is the difference between Emsella and Kegel exercises?
Emsella contracts the entire pelvic floor thousands of times per session, far deeper than a voluntary Kegel. Many people also squeeze the wrong muscles when they try Kegels at home, so effort does not translate into strength. The chair removes the guesswork, and home exercises then help maintain what you gained.
Can men use the Emsella chair?
Yes, men are treated on the Emsella chair as well. Male patients most often come to us for leaking that started with age or after prostate surgery, and the protocol is the same: seated, fully clothed, 28 minutes per session. Your provider will confirm your urologist has cleared you before starting a series.
Is Emsella safe if I have a pacemaker or metal implant?
No, Emsella is not safe with a pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, neurostimulator or drug pump. Metal implants, plates, screws, joint replacements and copper intrauterine devices in the pelvic region also rule it out. Tell us about any implanted hardware at your consultation, because we screen for these before every session.
Should I see a doctor about my leaking first?
Yes, anything beyond mild leaking deserves a medical evaluation. Bladder symptoms can come from infection, prolapse, a medication effect or a neurological cause, and those need treatment of their own. Your provider reviews your history first and will refer you out when that is the honest answer. Learn more about bladder control problems.
