Reclaim Your Confidence With Pelvic Floor Strengthening Services at Our Med Spa

Especially if it’s your first encounter with incontinence and/or sexual dysfunction, these and other issues caused by pelvic floor weakness can profoundly impact self-esteem.

Thankfully, The Wellness Clinic at New Boston Village offers a comprehensive pelvic floor strengthening service, designed to produce transformative and highly sustainable results for both men and women. Our pelvic floor strengthening med spa is passionate about this work, as we’ve seen firsthand the drastic impact a successful treatment plan has on confidence and overall quality of life.

But backing up a step, what exactly is the pelvic floor? Why do many people experience pelvic floor weakness? How can patients continue to avoid this issue after treatment? Read on for a complete overview of pelvic floor strengthening that will cover these key issues and more.

What Is the Pelvic Floor?

If you’ve ever strained to hold back flatulence or stop in the middle of urinating, the muscles you used are located in the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor refers to a web-like network of muscles that span from your pubic bone to your tailbone. This is why they are referred to as a “floor”; they form a relatively flat surface upon which important pelvic organs like the bladder, urethra, rectum, prostate, and uterus depend for various functions.

Like any muscle, pelvic floor muscles can squeeze, elevate, and relax, which gives your body control over key functions like urination and defecation while also promoting healthy sexual function. When you forcefully contract your abdominal muscles, as with vigorous exercise, it is the pelvic floor that prevents you from urinating or defecating. When the pelvic floor muscles are not strong enough to hold back the flow, then incontinence, pain with certain activities, and/or sexual dysfunction can occur. 

Our Approach to Pelvic Floor Strengthening

Our team at The Wellness Clinic at New Boston Village uses a highly innovative, non-surgical pelvic floor treatment called EMSELLA. This treatment uses electromagnetic energy to elicit strong contractions of the pelvic floor muscles. Just like lifting weights at the gym, these repeated contractions will strengthen the entire muscle group over time, resulting in pelvic health improvement.

For those concerned about privacy, EMSELLA is highly accommodating in that it does not require you to remove any clothing. The electromagnetic energy is delivered through the seat of a specialized chair. Simply sit upright on the chair, ensuring the entirety of your pelvic floor area maintains full contact with the chair in order to effectively strengthen the pelvic muscles. During treatment, your clinician can make immediate adjustments to the intensity, so it’s important to provide detailed feedback. 

EMSELLA Benefits

Effective pelvic floor rehabilitation has the potential to solve multiple issues, including pelvic organ prolapse, vaginal rejuvenation, and urinary incontinence, among others. 

But what specific advantages does EMSELLA offer over conventional pelvic floor interventions? As the treatment has demonstrated in clinical settings, it can produce faster, more reliable results for a wider range of patients and with less potential for side effects (as with surgery).

Compliance and consistency: Of all people, we understand why conventional pelvic floor exercises are often difficult for patients to stick with consistently. While kegels and bridges will always remain relevant, EMSELLA is a much less awkward and uncomfortable option, which translates into better compliance and consistency. The steadiness and precision of the electromagnetic energy also prevents “cheating” due to fatigue. 

See results sooner: In the real world, insurance coverage isn’t bottomless. We highly value your time in the clinic, and EMSELLA helps us to make the most of it by producing contractions that are often stronger than what your brain would voluntarily elicit. EMSELLA can get you to a point where, upon finishing your program with us, you can feel much more confident and comfortable with standard exercises if they’re needed.

Quick, convenient, and discreet: As mentioned, no disrobing is required for EMSELLA treatment, which takes around 30 minutes per session. When administered correctly, EMSELLA targets the entire pelvic floor, and does not require any additional exercises or equipment to produce results. 

Who Is Eligible For Pelvic Floor Strengthening?

In a consultation with our team at The Wellness Clinic at New Boston Village, we will collaborate with you to set up an effective treatment regimen. As for whether or not you’re a good candidate for EMSELLA, anyone struggling with pelvic floor weakness can stand to benefit from this treatment. This includes people experiencing the following symptoms:

• Leakage
• Urinary incontinence
• Bowel incontinence
• Sexual dysfunction
• Pelvic pain
• Postpartum pelvic care
• Declining vaginal health

This treatment accommodates both men and women, and can be paired with many other pelvic floor strengthening treatments. However, EMSELLA may not be suitable for people with implanted medical devices, bleeding disorders, pregnant women, and patients with certain conditions. As always, consulting with a professional is the safest way to clearly determine your eligibility for this treatment.
