Pelvic Floor Chairs Testimonials

I tried the pelvic floor chair at the clinic, having not fully restored bladder control since having 2 babies. I used it for 5 weeks, it was so easy - just sit there! I saw immediate results; I stopped waking at night to go to the bathroom, which in turn gave me a great nights sleep. With a busy summer I didn’t do any after care exercises and control after a few months was not as good as it was initially. I will get intermittent “top ups” from the chair from now on, but to get the most from it, I’ve learned I need to keep maintaining the muscles by doing simple pelvic floor exercises everyday. The chair is a great way to see fast improvement and get a huge head start into pelvic floor strengthening.

What is the EMS Pelvic floor chair?

The EMS Pelvic Floor Chair is a non-invasive medical device designed to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles using Electromagnetic Muscle Stimulation (EMS).

The chair delivers high-intensity electromagnetic energy to the pelvic area, causing the pelvic floor muscles to contract rapidly and repeatedly. These contractions mimic the effect of doing thousands of Kegel exercises in a single session, but without the effort or need for active participation by the patient.

Each 28-minute EMS Pelvic floor chair session delivers the equivalent of over 11,000 Kegel exercises

The Science Behind the EMS Pelvic floor chair

The EMS Pelvic Floor Chair leverages High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to strengthen and rehabilitate pelvic floor muscles. This technology generates electromagnetic pulses that stimulate involuntary, supramaximal muscle contractions in the pelvic region. These contractions are far more intense and frequent than what can be achieved through voluntary exercises, such as Kegels.

During each session, the chair’s electromagnetic energy targets the motor neurons within the pelvic floor muscles, activating muscle fibers and promoting neuromuscular re-education. Over time, this leads to improved muscle strength, endurance, and coordination. HIFEM technology has been clinically validated to prevent leaking, improve bladder control, reduce pelvic pain, and support sexual and core health, making it an effective solution for a wide range of pelvic floor related complaints.
