What EMS pelvic floor sessions are
EMS stands for electromagnetic or electrical muscle stimulation. The device makes the muscles of your pelvic floor contract strongly and repeatedly while you stay still. We'll explain how your session works at your consultation.
Chair devices that stimulate the pelvic floor with a strong magnetic field have been studied in women with bladder leaks. The studies were small and varied, and their authors say better trials are needed. Their results may not apply to our device, so we don't make claims about bladder control.
It isn't a replacement for pelvic floor exercises or for medical advice. If you have leaks, urgency, pain or a feeling of heaviness, please see your GP first. The NHS recommends pelvic floor muscle training for at least 3 months as a first step, and a GP can refer you to a continence service.
Who it’s for
Adults only
Treatment is only for adults aged 18 and over.
Often a good fit if you
- would like to add muscle stimulation to your own pelvic floor exercises
- have no bladder or pelvic symptoms, or have talked to your GP about them
- can commit to a course of sessions
Not suitable, or we’ll wait, if you
- have a pacemaker or another implanted electronic device
- have metal implants in or near the pelvis
- are pregnant, or have recently given birth or had pelvic surgery
- have a urine infection
If EMS pelvic floor sessions aren't right for you, we'll tell you and suggest who can help, starting with your GP.
Risks and side effects
- Common and expected
- Tingling, strong contractions and mild discomfort during a session.
- Who can't have it
