Are you tired of living with the discomfort and embarrassment of urinary incontinence? Have you heard about the Emsella Chair and wondered if it could be the solution you’ve been searching for? In this blog post, we’ll delve into the ins and outs of the Emsella to help you determine if it’s the right choice for you.
First things first, what exactly is the Emsella Chair?
The Emsella Chair is a non-invasive treatment technology designed to target urinary incontinence. Utilizing High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology, this innovative device triggers contractions in the pelvic floor muscles (PFM), similar to the effects of traditional Kegel exercises. In just half an hour, it delivers an astonishing 11,000 contractions, offering a powerful workout for the muscles that control bladder function.
But does it really work?
Several studies have shown promising results for the Emsella Chair in strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, improving stress urinary incontinence (SUI), enhancing sexual satisfaction, and reducing the use of pads. For individuals who may struggle with traditional pelvic floor muscle training or lack motivation for conservative management, it presents an enticing alternative.
However, it’s essential to approach the Emsella Chair with a critical eye. While initial research is encouraging, more studies are needed to fully understand its long-term effectiveness and potential side effects. Additionally, the high cost of Emsella treatment may be prohibitive for some individuals, making it important to weigh the benefits against the financial investment.
It’s also crucial to remember that the Emsella Chair is just one option among many for managing urinary incontinence. Lifestyle interventions, physiotherapy, behavioural therapies, and medication are all recommended as first-line treatments, with pelvic floor muscle training being particularly emphasized.
