EMSELLA® in Louisville: A Non-Invasive Approach to Pelvic Floor Strength and Urinary Incontinence

At Griffin Health & Wellness in Louisville, EMSELLA® offers a completely non-invasive approach designed to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles and help restore neuromuscular control in both women and men experiencing urinary incontinence.
No surgery. No needles. You remain fully clothed during treatment.

What Is EMSELLA?
EMSELLA is a specialized chair that uses electromagnetic stimulation to activate the muscles of the pelvic floor.
According to the EMSELLA Clinical Guide, the technology is intended to provide entirely non-invasive electromagnetic stimulation of the pelvic floor musculature for rehabilitation of weak pelvic muscles and restoration of neuromuscular control associated with male and female urinary incontinence.
Instead of performing voluntary pelvic floor exercises on your own, you simply sit on the EMSELLA chair while the device stimulates contractions in the targeted muscles.
The goal is straightforward: strengthen the muscles involved in bladder control without an invasive procedure.
Why Pelvic Floor Strength Matters
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that supports structures in the pelvis and plays an important role in urinary control.
When these muscles become weak or lose effective neuromuscular control, urinary leakage may become more noticeable. Pelvic floor weakness can affect both women and men, and symptoms can interfere with exercise, work, travel, social activities, intimacy, and everyday confidence.
Pelvic floor rehabilitation is designed to improve the function and control of these muscles. EMSELLA approaches that rehabilitation through electromagnetic stimulation.
What Happens During an EMSELLA Treatment?
One of the most appealing aspects of EMSELLA is how simple treatment can be from the patient's perspective.
You remain fully clothed and sit in the center of the EMSELLA chair. The clinical guide recommends sitting with the spine straight and the feet positioned on the ground. Proper positioning helps target the pelvic floor effectively.
During treatment, you'll feel the pelvic floor muscles contracting. The contractions may feel intense, but treatment should never be painful, and intensity is adjusted according to your feedback.
The clinical guide suggests a 28-minute treatment session, with sessions separated by at least two days. It also recommends beginning treatment with an empty bladder.

That means there are:
No needles
No incisions
No anesthesia
No need to undress for treatment
No surgical procedure
You essentially sit while the technology does the work.
Who May Consider EMSELLA?
EMSELLA may be worth discussing with your provider if urinary leakage or decreased bladder control is affecting your quality of life.
Because EMSELLA is intended for the treatment of male and female urinary incontinence, it isn't exclusively a women's wellness treatment.
A consultation at Griffin Health & Wellness can help determine whether your symptoms and medical history make you an appropriate candidate.

EMSELLA vs. Kegel Exercises
Kegel exercises are one of the most familiar approaches to pelvic floor strengthening. They involve voluntarily contracting and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles.
They can be useful, but they also require you to correctly identify the pelvic floor muscles, perform the contractions properly, and consistently stick with the exercise routine.
EMSELLA takes a different approach.
Instead of relying solely on voluntary contractions, the technology uses electromagnetic stimulation to produce contractions in the targeted pelvic floor musculature. During treatment, the provider adjusts the intensity according to your feedback and positioning is used to help target the appropriate area.
EMSELLA doesn't necessarily mean traditional pelvic floor exercises have no value. Rather, it provides another option for people interested in professionally administered, non-invasive pelvic floor rehabilitation.
EMSELLA vs. Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a broader form of rehabilitation that may involve assessment, exercises, education, behavioral strategies, and other techniques based on an individual's needs.
EMSELLA is different because it is a device-based electromagnetic treatment specifically designed to stimulate pelvic floor musculature.
These approaches aren't necessarily competitors. Depending on the individual, a healthcare professional may recommend one approach or multiple strategies for managing urinary symptoms.
EMSELLA vs. Surgery
Surgical procedures may be appropriate for certain patients and certain causes of urinary incontinence. However, surgery naturally involves considerations that don't apply to a completely non-invasive treatment.
EMSELLA does not involve incisions or surgery. Patients remain clothed while sitting on the treatment chair.
For someone who wants to investigate conservative or non-invasive options before considering a surgical procedure, EMSELLA may be an option worth discussing with a qualified provider.
Importantly, EMSELLA is not a substitute for surgery when surgery is medically necessary. The appropriate treatment depends on the cause and severity of an individual's symptoms.
Does EMSELLA Hurt?
Treatment should not be painful.
The manufacturer's clinical guide states that patients should experience intense muscle contractions, but therapy should never be painful. Treatment intensity should be adjusted based on patient feedback, and treatment should be discontinued if pain occurs.
Your experience may differ from another patient's, which is why communication with your provider throughout treatment is important.
Are There Side Effects?
As with any medical or wellness treatment, EMSELLA isn't completely free of potential side effects.
The clinical guide lists possible effects including muscular pain, temporary muscle spasms, temporary joint or tendon pain, temporary increases in local circulation, increased sensitivity during intercourse, and localized redness of the skin.
Your provider can discuss these possibilities with you before treatment.
Who Should Not Receive EMSELLA?
EMSELLA isn't appropriate for everyone.
The manufacturer's clinical guide lists contraindications that include cardiac pacemakers, implanted defibrillators, implanted neurostimulators, other electronic implants, metal implants, drug pumps, pulmonary insufficiency, malignant tumors, fever, and pregnancy. The guide also provides additional cautions for certain medical circumstances.
This is one reason a consultation and medical screening are important before beginning treatment.
