October Launch: Emsella Service for Care Beyond the Chair
Bladder leaks, pelvic heaviness, and loss of confidence are common, but they are not something anyone should have to quietly accept. Pelvic floor health affects comfort, daily movement, exercise, intimacy, sleep, and quality of life. Yet many people delay care because they worry it will be invasive, awkward, painful, or hard to fit into a busy schedule.
This October, Medpoint is launching Emsella, a complete pelvic health program built around one clear idea: Pelvic health for Care Beyond the Chair.
More Than a Treatment. Complete Care.
The program combines Emsella chair treatments with physician screening and wellness support, so care does not begin and end with a 30-minute session. It is designed to help strengthen the pelvic floor in a way that is discreet, non-invasive, and supported by a broader plan for long-term health.
This article is for general information only and does not replace medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. A physician consultation and screening are part of the program to help determine whether Emsella is appropriate.
What does Emsella do?
Emsella is a non-invasive device designed to stimulate and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. A session takes place while the client remains fully clothed and seated comfortably on the chair. There is no surgery, no probes, no undressing, and no downtime for most people.
The chair uses electromagnetic energy to trigger thousands of involuntary pelvic floor muscle contractions in one session. These contractions go far beyond what most people can do on their own through Kegel exercises.
That matters because the pelvic floor can be hard to train correctly. Many people are told to “do Kegels,” but they may not know if they are using the right muscles, holding tension in the wrong places, or doing enough repetitions to make a difference. Emsella helps activate the pelvic floor directly, using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic technology, often called HIFEM.
During treatment, most people describe the sensation as a tapping, pulsing, or vibration in the pelvic area. The session is not meant to be painful. Afterward, clients can typically return to daily activities right away.
Why pelvic floor strength matters
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that supports the bladder, bowel, and pelvic organs. These muscles also play a role in sexual function, core stability, posture, and control during movement.
When pelvic floor muscles become weak or poorly coordinated, symptoms may appear gradually. Some people notice small leaks when laughing, sneezing, lifting, or exercising. Others feel a sudden urge to urinate and worry they may not make it to the bathroom in time.
Pelvic floor changes can happen for many reasons, including:
Pregnancy and childbirth
Aging and hormonal changes
Surgery or medical treatment
Chronic coughing
Constipation or straining
High-impact exercise
Weight changes
Long periods of inactivity
General muscle weakness or deconditioning
Pelvic floor concerns are often under-discussed because they feel personal. That silence can make people think they are alone. They are not. Urinary incontinence and pelvic floor weakness are common, and many people benefit from guided care.
How Emsella works during a session
A typical Emsella session lasts about 28 to 30 minutes. During that time, the chair delivers electromagnetic stimulation to the pelvic floor. This creates supramaximal contractions, which means contractions stronger than what most people can produce voluntarily.
The goal is to encourage the muscles to adapt, rebuild, and become stronger over time. In a single session, the device may induce approximately 11,000 to 12,000 contractions.
Those numbers help explain why one session can feel unlike regular pelvic floor exercises. Even a very committed person doing Kegels at home would find it difficult to safely and correctly perform that many strong contractions in under half an hour.
The standard treatment protocol often includes six sessions over three weeks, usually with two sessions per week. Some people may need more support depending on their symptoms, starting point, and goals. That is one reason screening matters.
What makes Emsella different at Medpoint
Emsella treatment is the centrepiece, but the October program is built to go further. Medpoint’s Care Beyond the Chair approach brings together treatment, medical oversight, and wellness guidance.
The offering includes:
Program element | What is included |
Emsella treatment sessions | 6 treatment sessions |
Wellness support | 3 consultations with a fitness professional |
Medical oversight | Physician consultation and screening before and after treatment |
This structure matters because pelvic health is rarely just one thing. Muscle strength is important, but so are movement habits, breathing patterns, core strength, fitness level, health history, medications, and personal goals.
The physician consultation and screening before treatment help confirm that the service is a good fit. The post-treatment screening helps review progress and guide next steps.
The wellness consultations with a fitness professional add another layer. They can help connect pelvic floor care to movement, strength, and daily function. For example, a person may benefit from learning how breathing, lifting, posture, and core engagement connect to pelvic floor load.
Who may benefit from Emsella
Emsella may be helpful for a range of people experiencing pelvic floor weakness or bladder control concerns. It is often considered by people who want a non-invasive option and prefer a discreet treatment experience.
People may ask about Emsella if they experience:
Leaking urine while laughing, coughing, sneezing, or exercising
Strong urges to urinate
Reduced bladder confidence during travel or social events
Pelvic floor weakness after pregnancy or childbirth
Changes in pelvic strength with age
Lower confidence during physical activity
Concerns related to sexual wellness and pelvic muscle tone
Emsella may be relevant for postpartum women, older adults, and others dealing with stress or urge-related urinary incontinence. That said, not everyone is a candidate. Some medical devices, implants, health conditions, or recent procedures may affect suitability.
A proper consultation is the safest way to decide.
What the experience may feel like
One reason people are drawn to Emsella is that it removes many barriers that often come with pelvic health treatment. The session is private, short, and non-invasive.
Here is what a visit may generally involve.
Before treatment begins
The process starts with consultation and screening. This step helps gather health history, review symptoms, and discuss goals. It is also the right time to ask questions about comfort, expectations, and whether the service fits your needs.
During the session
The client sits on the Emsella chair fully clothed. The device is adjusted to an appropriate intensity. The sensation may feel like rhythmic tapping or pulsing.
The appointment is usually brief enough to fit into a lunch break or a regular weekday schedule. Most people can return to normal activity right away.
After the session
Some people may notice changes early, while others may feel gradual improvement over the full series of treatments and beyond. Pelvic floor muscles, like other muscles, may take time to respond.
The post-treatment screening helps assess progress and plan what comes next.
Why wellness consultations are part of the plan
The Emsella chair can stimulate the pelvic floor muscles powerfully, but lasting pelvic health also depends on how the body moves day to day.
That is why the October launch includes three wellness consultations with a fitness professional. These sessions can support better awareness of the body as a whole, not just the pelvic floor.
Pelvic floor function is closely connected to:
Breathing mechanics
Core strength
Hip and glute strength
Posture and alignment
Exercise habits
Lifting technique
Recovery after childbirth or surgery
General conditioning
For example, someone who leaks during exercise may need more than stronger pelvic floor muscles. They may also need to adjust impact, improve breathing during effort, or build strength in supporting muscles.
Someone who feels urgency may benefit from a broader look at daily habits, hydration patterns, and movement routines, alongside medical guidance.
The goal is not to make care complicated. The goal is to make it more complete to offer care beyond the chair.
What to expect from the six-session program
The October program includes six Emsella sessions, which aligns with the common treatment schedule of two sessions per week over three weeks.
A simple timeline may look like this:
Stage | What happens |
Before the first session | Physician consultation and screening |
During the program | 6 Emsella treatment sessions |
Alongside treatment | 3 wellness consultations with a fitness professional |
After the treatment series | Physician follow-up and post-treatment screening |
This structure gives the program a clear beginning, middle, and review point. It also creates space for questions along the way.

Pelvic health care can be discreet, supported, and complete
Pelvic floor symptoms can affect confidence in quiet ways. They can change what someone wears, how far they travel, how they exercise, and how comfortable they feel in their own body.
The October launch of Emsella Care Beyond the Chair offers a more complete path. It combines non-invasive pelvic floor stimulation with physician screening and wellness consultations, so care feels practical, private, and guided.
The chair is an important part of the program. The care around it is what makes the approach holistic.
