Quick Reference Guide
Emsella Treatment
Emsella is an FDA-cleared chair that contracts the pelvic floor far beyond what a Kegel reaches. You stay fully clothed, and one 28-minute session delivers about 11,200 contractions.

What it can feel like
Leaking with a cough, a laugh or a lift. Sudden urgency that does not leave much warning. Planning the day around where the bathrooms are.
Emsella uses HIFEM energy to contract the pelvic floor at an intensity you cannot produce voluntarily. It is used for urinary incontinence and pelvic-floor weakness in women and men, covering stress leaks, urge symptoms, mixed leaks and postpartum recovery after clearance. Stronger muscle can also support comfort and confidence with intimacy.
What you can try yourself
- Wear comfortable clothes and empty your bladder before you sit.
- Keep home Kegels and the knack going if a physical therapist taught you well.
- Treat constipation. Straining undoes the work the floor is doing.
- Expect workout-like pelvic soreness after the first visits.
- Know the myth. One session does not replace six. The course is the treatment.
- Tell your clinician about pregnancy, metal or implanted devices.
What standard medical care looks like
- Confirming the leak type first: stress, urge, mixed or overflow.
- Pelvic-floor physical therapy, which remains first-line for many people.
- Medication, a pessary or surgery when those fit the diagnosis.
Where it stalls: poorly performed Kegels and pads do not rebuild the floor. One manages the mess, the other trains the wrong thing.
Where Ivy Collaborative Healthcare fits
We run Emsella as a full course rather than a trial session, because the course is what produces the change.
- 28 minutes, fully clothed, no anesthesia and no downtime.
- A typical course is six sessions over about three weeks, often twice weekly.
- Many people notice a change by sessions two to four, with fuller effect four to six weeks after the series ends.
- Maintenance every six to twelve months is often discussed.
- Physician-directed plans with Dr. Jocelyn Bayliss, MD.
It is not a substitute for evaluating infection, blood in the urine or significant prolapse. Those come first.
You can see real patient results on our before and after page.
When to see a clinician first
- Burning, blood in your urine, or fever
- A bulge or pressure that feels like prolapse
- A pacemaker, defibrillator, metal in the pelvis or hips, or pregnancy
The last group are common contraindications, and eligibility is decided after physician screening.
