Why Emsella is the Perfect Postpartum Recovery Treatment
The postpartum period is a time of immense change and recovery for new mothers. After pregnancy and childbirth, many women experience weakened pelvic floor muscles, leading to symptoms such as urinary incontinence, pelvic pain, or discomfort. While postpartum recovery is a natural process, specific treatments can support faster healing and improved comfort. One such treatment is the Emsella Chair, available at Hills Family Health. In this blog, we’ll explore why the Emsella Chair is the ideal solution for postpartum recovery.
The Importance of Pelvic Floor Health After Childbirth
During pregnancy and childbirth, the pelvic floor muscles experience significant strain. These muscles, which support the bladder, uterus, and bowel, can become weakened or overstretched, leading to a range of issues such as:
- Urinary incontinence
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Lower back pain
- Reduced core stability
Addressing pelvic floor weakness is essential for a smooth postpartum recovery. Strengthening these muscles can improve bladder control, enhance core strength, and reduce discomfort, allowing new mothers to focus on bonding with their baby without worrying about leaks or pain.
What is the Emsella Chair?
The Emsella Chair is a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment that uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate pelvic floor muscles. Unlike traditional pelvic floor exercises like Kegels, which rely on voluntary muscle contractions, the Emsella Chair delivers thousands of contractions in just one session, targeting the deeper muscles that are often hard to reach through exercise alone.
At Hills Family Health, we offer this innovative treatment to new mums seeking a faster and more effective way to restore their pelvic floor health. Our clinic is dedicated to providing holistic care for the whole family, and we understand the unique challenges that come with pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery.
Why Emsella is Perfect for Postpartum Recovery
Here’s why the Emsella Chair is an excellent choice for new mothers:
1. Non-Invasive and Comfortable
The Emsella Chair is completely non-invasive, which means there’s no need for surgery, medication, or any uncomfortable procedures. You can remain fully clothed during the treatment, and the session is pain-free, allowing you to relax while the chair does all the work. This is particularly beneficial for new mums who want to avoid any additional physical strain or discomfort during their recovery.
2. Efficient and Time-Saving
As a new mother, finding time for self-care can be challenging. Emsella treatments take just 30 minutes, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule. You can even receive treatment while catching up on emails or reading a book. Since the treatment is non-invasive, there’s no downtime, so you can immediately return to your daily activities.
3. Faster Results Than Traditional Exercises
While Kegel exercises can help restore pelvic floor strength, they require dedication and proper technique to be effective. The Emsella Chair provides a more intensive workout for the pelvic floor muscles, achieving the equivalent of thousands of Kegels in a single session. Many new mums notice improvements after just a few sessions, including reduced urinary incontinence and greater overall comfort.
4. Holistic Postpartum Care
At Hills Family Health, we specialise in holistic care for the whole family, with a deep passion for pregnancy, paediatric, and post-natal care. We offer a range of services designed to support new mothers, including chiropractic care, dry needling, laser therapy, and naturopathic advice. Our approach looks at the body as a whole, ensuring you receive comprehensive care that addresses all aspects of your health.
How Emsella Works
During an Emsella session, you’ll sit comfortably in the chair while electromagnetic waves are delivered to the pelvic floor muscles. These waves trigger powerful contractions, strengthening the muscles and improving their function. There’s no pain, no need to remove clothing, and no invasive procedures involved.
Each session lasts about 30 minutes, and many patients experience significant improvements after just six sessions. The treatment is suitable for women of all ages, making it a perfect choice for new mothers looking to regain control over their pelvic health.
Other Postpartum Benefits
In addition to helping with incontinence, the Emsella Chair offers several other postpartum benefits:
- Improved core strength: Strong pelvic floor muscles are essential for overall core stability, which can help alleviate back pain and improve posture after childbirth.
- Faster postpartum recovery: By targeting the pelvic floor muscles, Emsella accelerates the recovery process, allowing new mums to feel stronger and more comfortable sooner.
- Enhanced quality of life: Regaining control over bladder function can dramatically improve confidence and reduce the stress associated with incontinence.
