One in three women suffer from a weakened pelvic floor. Weakness can occur as a result of many factors including pregnancy, childbirth, ageing and menopause.
Weakened pelvic floor muscles can lead to embarrassing and awkward symptoms like frequent urgency to pee, stress incontinence or spontaneous leaking on exertion. Weakened pelvic floor is also associated with decreased sensation during intercourse.
Emsella is designed to provide a completely non-invasive electromagnetic stimulation for the purpose of repairing and regenerating weak muscles of the pelvic floor and additionally restoration of neuromuscular control for the treatment of urinary incontinence.
This unique technology revolutionizes the women’s intimate health and wellness category by providing those suffering from incontinence with a completely non-invasive option.
Prior to Emsella traditional methods of treating the pelvic floor were invasive and deemed distressing by patients or relied on patient compliance with pelvic floor exercises. Pelvic floor exercises “kegels”, rely on correct engagement with the muscle to have a lasting impact which patients were unable to adhere to. One EMSELLA treatment is the equivalent of 11,000 kegels.
CEO at River Medical and registered general nurse, Aisling Cleary introduced this innovative technology to the clinic after identifying a need from existing clients. “As a nurse and mother of two I have always been aware of the need to strengthen and maintain your pelvic floor but this is something that not everyone is aware of, while we are always working to improve our bodies our pelvic floor is an area that we cant exercise in the gym.”
It became increasingly obvious that there was a lack of options available for this specific concern prior to Emsella and it was a concern that was preventing women from taking part in every day activities.
An additional benefit from the treatment is that it strengthens the wall of the vagina to improve sexual function and increase sensation due to additional blood flow.
