Incontinence & Emsella
Emsella is a non-invasive treatment for urinary incontinence and pelvic-floor weakness — you sit fully clothed while it strengthens the muscles, with no surgery and no downtime.
Better bladder control — without surgery
Leaks when you cough, laugh, or can't make it in time are common, and they're treatable. Emsella is a non-invasive option for urinary incontinence and pelvic-floor weakness — and it helps both men and women. You simply sit, fully clothed, on a specialized chair that uses electromagnetic energy to do the equivalent of thousands of pelvic-floor contractions per session.
What to expect
- Non-invasive — stay fully clothed
- No anesthesia, no downtime
- Sit comfortably during each session
- A short series over a few weeks
It's a gentle first-line option for the right candidates, and pairs with a broader look at urinary and men's health when needed.
Who it's for
Emsella can help with stress incontinence (leaks with pressure), urge incontinence, and general pelvic-floor weakness. An evaluation confirms whether it's the right approach or whether another treatment fits better.
Common questions
What is Emsella?
Emsella is a non-invasive treatment for urinary incontinence and pelvic-floor weakness. You sit, fully clothed, on a specialized chair that uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate and strengthen the pelvic-floor muscles.
Is Emsella treatment comfortable?
Yes. You remain fully clothed and seated; most people describe a tingling or tapping sensation. There's no anesthesia and no downtime — many return to their day right after.

It can help men and women with stress or urge incontinence, or weakened pelvic-floor muscles. We'll confirm it's the right fit based on your symptoms.
How many sessions are needed?
Treatment is usually a short series of sessions over a few weeks. We'll lay out a plan at your consultation.
