Strengthens the pelvic floor with the equivalent of 11,000 Kegels per session, fully clothed, with no downtime.
Emsella
Feminine Wellness
Urinary leakage and weakened pelvic muscles are far more common than most women realize, and far less discussed. Emsella treats the root cause, the pelvic floor itself, while you sit fully clothed in a chair.
What’s going on?
Many women quietly struggle with urinary incontinence, weakened pelvic muscles, or diminished sensation, often after childbirth, menopause, or simply the natural aging process. Over time, pregnancy, hormonal changes, and age can weaken the pelvic floor muscles and reduce vaginal tone, which shows up as leakage during laughter, exercise, or a sneeze, and as changes in intimate sensation. These symptoms are common, but that does not make them small: they can significantly affect daily life and self-esteem.
The important thing to understand is that this is a muscle problem, and muscles can be retrained. The pelvic floor supports the bladder and responds to strengthening the way any muscle does; the difficulty is that voluntary exercises like Kegels are hard to do correctly, consistently, and at meaningful intensity. That is the gap Emsella was built to close, and it is why the treatment addresses the root cause rather than the symptoms.

Eleven thousand Kegels, fully clothed
Emsella uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy, HIFEM, to stimulate deep pelvic floor contractions: the equivalent of over 11,000 Kegel exercises in a single 30-minute session, at an intensity and consistency no voluntary exercise can match. Each pulse contracts the muscles the way a Kegel does, strengthening and re-educating the pelvic floor and improving the muscle tone and neuromuscular control that bladder control depends on.
The treatment is as discreet as care gets. You sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair; nothing is placed internally, and the energy works through clothing. The sensation is a rhythmic contraction or tingling rather than pain, and most patients find it surprisingly relaxing, reading or catching up on email while it runs. There is no anesthesia, no needles, and no downtime: you return to normal activities the moment you stand up.
Who it helps, and what a series looks like
Emsella is ideal for women dealing with bladder leakage, urgency, or decreased pelvic strength after childbirth or menopause, and for anyone looking to enhance intimate wellness and confidence without surgery or recovery time. Stronger pelvic floor muscles mean better bladder control, and the improved circulation and muscle tone also support sexual wellness.
Results build over a series. Many patients notice improvement after their very first session, with optimal results after a full series of six treatments, typically scheduled about twice a week. Each visit is around 30 minutes and fits into a lunch break, which matters for a treatment most patients prefer to keep private.
The consultation is where it starts: a private conversation about your symptoms and goals with a team, under the direction of Dr. Heil, that treats these concerns every week and knows how rarely they get talked about. From there your treatment plan is customized to your case, not to an average.
