Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
EMSELLA®
We have a saying here about EMSELLA®: we cheat. You sit in a chair, fully clothed, for 28 minutes — and the machine does the equivalent of thousands of Kegel exercises that would take you months to complete on your own. For people dealing with leaking, urgency, or pelvic floor weakness affecting their confidence and their intimate life, this is often the most significant change they've experienced in years.
FDA-Cleared Device
Manufactured by BTL Industries
The EMSELLA® chair uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to penetrate deep into the pelvic floor. You sit fully clothed. The machine does the work. 28 minutes per session.
✓ FDA-cleared for urinary incontinence
✓ FDA-cleared for improvement of sexual function
✓ Fully clothed — no undressing required
✓ Zero downtime — resume normal activities immediately
✓ Shannon is a Certified Continence Advisor — one of few EMSELLA® providers in Niagara with this credential
Who This Helps
What this treats
EMSELLA® treats both women and men. It is FDA-cleared for urinary incontinence and has also received clearance for improvement of sexual function through pelvic floor strengthening.
Shannon holds a Certified Continence Advisor designation — one of the few EMSELLA® providers in the Niagara region with specific clinical training in both urinary and fecal continence. EMSELLA® strengthens the entire pelvic floor including the anal sphincter complex. If fecal urgency or leakage is part of your picture, mention it when you book — it is within our scope and it deserves the same attention as urinary incontinence. People just talk about it even less.
Leaking when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise
Urgent, sudden need to urinate
Frequent urination
Reduced sensation during sex
Post-partum pelvic floor weakness
Pelvic floor weakness from age or menopause
Urinary leakage in men post-prostate surgery
Fecal urgency or leakage (discuss at assessment)
How It Works
HIFEM technology — the full pelvic floor, all at once
EMSELLA® uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to penetrate deep into the pelvic floor and stimulate supramaximal contractions — the kind of full-depth, maximal contraction that voluntary Kegel exercises cannot achieve.
A single 28-minute session delivers thousands of these contractions. Over a course of six sessions, the cumulative effect rebuilds the strength, coordination, and neuromuscular control of the pelvic floor in a way that exercise alone rarely achieves — especially in tissue that has been weakened by childbirth, menopause, age, or surgery.
Clinical Data — BTL Published Research
EMSELLA® has the most robust device-specific clinical evidence of any pelvic floor treatment currently available. The mechanism is well-established: High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy induces supramaximal contractions — contractions at a depth and intensity that voluntary effort cannot achieve. A single 28-minute session delivers thousands of these contractions, producing the equivalent of thousands of Kegel exercises in terms of neuromuscular stimulus, but recruiting the deep pelvic floor in a way that voluntary Kegels typically cannot.
BTL-published clinical data from the standardized 6-session protocol: 95% of patients reported significant improvement in quality of life. 100% demonstrated improved pelvic floor muscle awareness and coordination. 67% eliminated or significantly reduced incontinence pad use. A separate peer-reviewed study (Samuels and Evans, published data) specifically examined EMSELLA® for female sexual function and found improvements in both sexual function scores and urinary incontinence measures following the protocol.
EMSELLA® is FDA-cleared for urinary incontinence and for improvement of sexual function through pelvic floor strengthening — two separate cleared indications. It is the only device in its category with both clearances. Shannon holds a Certified Continence Advisor (CCA) designation from McMaster University — a credential held by very few EMSELLA® providers in the Niagara region. This means your assessment includes clinical expertise in continence that extends well beyond operating a device.
We attribute these figures to their correct source (BTL clinical white paper). We do not fabricate statistics. Shannon will tell you at your assessment which outcomes are realistic for your specific type and severity of incontinence.
EMSELLA® + O-Shot® — the Comprehensive Pelvic Health Approach
EMSELLA® rehabilitates the pelvic floor through neuromuscular training. The O-Shot® PRP regenerates the tissue of the anterior vaginal wall and clitoral area — the tissue responsible for urethral support and sensory response. Together they address both the muscular and tissue components of pelvic floor dysfunction. This combination is the most comprehensive non-surgical approach to urinary incontinence and pelvic sexual function currently available.
