Emsella for Weak Pelvic Floor

Your pelvic floor muscles support your bladder, bowel, and uterus. When they weaken — from pregnancy, menopause, surgery, or aging — the effects ripple through your daily life: leakage, urgency, reduced intimacy, even back pain. Emsella rebuilds that foundation.

How It Works

What to Expect at Bromberg Wellness

During treatment, you sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair. The device uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscles with thousands of supramaximal contractions per session. These contractions re-educate and strengthen weakened pelvic floor muscles, restoring neuromuscular control. Unlike voluntary kegel exercises — which only activate a subset of pelvic floor muscles — Emsella engages the entire pelvic floor musculature comprehensively.

Consultation

Meet with Dr. Bromberg's team. We assess your goals, medical history, and determine if Emsella is right for you.

2

Treatment

Sit comfortably on the Emsella chair — fully clothed. 28 minutes of electromagnetic pelvic floor stimulation.

Walk Out

Zero downtime. Return to all normal activities immediately. Some patients describe mild soreness like after a good workout.

4

Results

Most patients notice improvement within 2-3 sessions. Optimal results after the full 6-session protocol.

Mechanism of Action

Supramaximal Activation Beyond Voluntary Recruitment Limits

A weak pelvic floor is not simply "un-exercised" — it is often neurologically disconnected. Many patients with pelvic floor weakness cannot voluntarily contract their pelvic floor muscles at all, or can only recruit a small fraction of available motor units when they attempt a kegel. This disconnect arises from a combination of factors: muscle atrophy reduces the number of functional fibers available for contraction, neural pathway degradation weakens the signal from brain to muscle, and compensatory movement patterns (squeezing the glutes or inner thighs instead of the pelvic floor) create faulty motor recruitment that further inhibits true pelvic floor engagement. Emsella's HIFEM technology bypasses this entire voluntary control chain. The electromagnetic field acts directly on the motor neurons within the pelvic floor musculature, inducing contractions without requiring any voluntary neural input from the patient. This is the clinical significance of "supramaximal" — these are contractions that exceed what the voluntary nervous system can produce, both in intensity (100% motor unit recruitment vs. the 30-40% typical of voluntary effort) and in comprehensiveness (engaging the full pelvic floor complex rather than isolated muscle segments). The progressive overload effect across a six-session protocol drives three simultaneous adaptations: muscular hypertrophy (existing fibers grow thicker and stronger), neuromuscular facilitation (dormant neural pathways between the brain and pelvic floor are reactivated through forced repeated use), and motor pattern re-education (the brain begins to "remember" how to voluntarily engage the pelvic floor as the neural connections are re-established). Patients often report that after completing the Emsella protocol, they can perform voluntary kegel exercises for the first time in years — the HIFEM has rebuilt the neuromuscular infrastructure that makes voluntary control possible.

Clinical Data Point

Studies show significant increases in pelvic floor muscle mass and contractile strength, with patients demonstrating improved voluntary control (measured by perineometry) even after the treatment protocol is complete.
