When it comes to improving pelvic floor health, many people are familiar with traditional exercises like Kegels. While these exercises can be beneficial, they require consistency, proper technique, and time to deliver noticeable results. At Hills Family Health, we offer the revolutionary Emsella Chair treatment, which provides an advanced, non-invasive alternative to traditional pelvic floor exercises.
In this blog, we’ll explore the differences between the Emsella Chair and traditional exercises, and which option may be more effective for you.
What Are Traditional Pelvic Floor Exercises?
Pelvic floor exercises, such as Kegels, are designed to strengthen the muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and rectum. These exercises typically involve contracting and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles. Kegels can be beneficial for managing incontinence, improving sexual function, and supporting recovery after childbirth.
However, there are some challenges:
- Proper Technique: Many people struggle to perform Kegels correctly, which can reduce their effectiveness.
- Consistency: Like any form of exercise, Kegels require consistent practice to deliver results, and this can be difficult to maintain.
- Limited Reach: Kegels primarily target the superficial pelvic muscles, which may not fully address deeper pelvic floor dysfunction.
How Does the Emsella Chair Compare?
The Emsella Chair, available at Hills Family Health, offers a completely different approach to pelvic floor strengthening. Using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology, the Emsella Chair stimulates deep pelvic floor muscles, achieving thousands of muscle contractions in just one session. This allows for a more intensive and effective workout compared to manual exercises.
Here’s how the Emsella Chair stands out:
- No Effort Required: Unlike Kegels, you don’t need to worry about technique or consistency. Simply sit in the chair and let the treatment do the work.
- Deeper Muscle Activation: The electromagnetic pulses reach deeper muscles that traditional exercises can’t always engage.
- Faster Results: Many patients notice improvements after just a few sessions, with reduced symptoms of incontinence and a stronger pelvic floor.
- Non-Invasive & Painless: There’s no discomfort, no need to remove clothing, and no downtime.
At Hills Family Health, we believe in healing and prevention through holistic chiropractic care, and the Emsella Chair treatment is just one of the many ways we help our patients achieve optimal health. We specialise in pregnancy, paediatric, and post-natal care, and we offer a range of specialised techniques such as chiropractic care, dry needling, laser therapy, naturopathic advice, and vitamins & supplements.
Which is More Effective?
While both Kegels and the Emsella Chair offer benefits, the Emsella Chair may be more effective for individuals who need more targeted and intensive treatment for pelvic floor issues. This is particularly true for:
- Individuals with Severe Incontinence: The Emsella Chair can deliver rapid improvements for those with more severe incontinence issues.
- Postpartum Recovery: New mothers can benefit from the intensive muscle stimulation provided by Emsella, which supports faster pelvic floor recovery after childbirth.
- Busy Individuals: If you find it difficult to commit to a regular Kegel routine or struggle with proper technique, the Emsella Chair offers a more convenient solution.
Emsella’s non-invasive approach makes it an ideal option for men and women of all ages. Whether you’re dealing with urinary incontinence, looking to prevent future pelvic floor issues, or recovering from childbirth, this innovative treatment can provide significant improvements without the need for surgical intervention or complex exercises.
