EMSELLA is a modern treatment technology designed to restore and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. It is suitable for those who have issues with urinary incontinence, inability to hold urine, or postpartum mothers who want to care for their health from within without surgery, medication, or pain. It helps to restore weak muscles to become stronger and is suitable for those with urinary leakage, inability to hold urine, or pelvic organ prolapse.
What is EMSELLA?
EMSELLA is a therapeutic chair developed based on the principle of high-intensity electromagnetic waves. When the patient sits on the chair, the device sends energy waves through clothing directly to the pelvic floor muscles, causing deep muscle contractions (supramaximal contractions) equivalent to training the pelvic floor muscles more than 11,200 times in just 28 minutes.
Who is the therapeutic chair suitable for?
- Those who have problems with urinary incontinence, urinary leakage, frequent urination, or urgency
- Postpartum women with pelvic organ prolapse
- Those who experience urinary leakage when laughing, coughing, sneezing, or exercising
- Those who have reduced sexual satisfaction due to weak pelvic floor muscles
- Postpartum women who want to restore pelvic floor muscles
- Those with pelvic organ prolapse symptoms
- Those who want to enhance sexual health and confidence
- Those who cannot effectively exercise their muscles by themselves
- Men who have recently undergone prostate surgery
- Those with certain types of sexual dysfunction
- Men who want to restore overall physical performance
- Elderly people who want to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles
Highlights of EMSELLA
- Painless and no surgery required
- No need to remove clothing during treatment
- Only takes 28 minutes per session
- No recovery time needed; can return to normal life immediately after treatment
- Fast and clear results after treatment
Treatment procedure
- The patient sits on the EMSELLA chair without removing clothing
- The device sends electromagnetic waves to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles. During treatment, the patient will feel vibrations and muscle contractions in the pelvic area but no pain
- Each session lasts approximately 28 minutes
- Treatment is done 2–3 times per week, continuously for about 6 sessions for the best results
Possible side effects after treatment with the EMSELLA therapeutic chair
- Pelvic floor muscle fatigue due to repeated muscle stimulation similar to intense exercise
- Mild tightness or pain in the pelvic or lower abdominal area usually temporary and resolves within 1–2 days
- Increased frequency of urination initially as a result of stimulation of the nerves and muscles involved in elimination
- Numbness or unusual sensations in the treated area a temporary symptom that usually occurs shortly after treatment
- For those with metal implants in the body, electromagnetic waves may cause effects such as those with pacemakers, spiral metal IUDs, or metal devices in the abdomen/pelvic area
Improvements after treatment with the EMSELLA therapeutic chair
- Better control of urination, reduced urinary leakage, and improved ability to hold urine effectively
- Stronger and tighter pelvic floor muscles
- Improved quality of life and sexual function in women
- Faster recovery of symptoms after prostate surgery, such as quicker urinary control and reduced dependence on adult diapers
- Improved erectile function in men
- Helps improve ejaculation control and enhances erection by restoring pelvic floor muscle strength
- Increased confidence in daily life
Don’t let age or worries be an obstacle to taking care of yourself
You may have felt hesitant to talk about the problem of “urinary incontinence” or “urinary leakage” because you thought it was a minor issue or felt embarrassed. But the truth is… you are not alone and should not bear this burden by yourself.
Urinary incontinence is a health problem that can occur at any age, especially in postpartum women, those with pelvic organ prolapse, middle-aged men, or even elderly people whose muscle systems begin to weaken. It can affect confidence in daily life.
At Phyathai 2 Hospital, we understand that this problem affects both body and mind. Therefore, we emphasize gentle and understanding care by experienced specialists who provide advice and plan the most suitable treatment for you.
