How Emsella Works

Emsella at Catara Med Spa in Algonquin is a non-invasive pelvic floor therapy. You sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair while it uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to trigger contractions in the pelvic floor muscles.

Over a single 28-minute session, the chair stimulates thousands of pelvic floor contractions. This helps strengthen and re-educate the pelvic floor, and a stronger pelvic floor supports bladder control and everyday comfort.
Where and How Emsella Is Used

Emsella works on one region: the pelvic floor. You remain fully clothed and simply sit on the Emsella chair, so there is nothing to undress and no probe or needle involved.

Emsella is delivered as a series rather than a single visit. Each appointment is about 28 minutes, and many plans run as a series of sessions, often scheduled about twice a week. We tailor the number of sessions to your symptoms and goals at your consultation.
What to Expect at Your Appointment

Consultations at Catara are where we truly get to know you. We listen to your symptoms and goals, review your health history, and build a personalized plan that fits your needs. You will have our full attention and be treated as a respected and valued guest at our office.

At your treatment visit, you relax on the Emsella chair for about 28 minutes. You can read a book or simply unwind while the chair works. Afterward, we review your plan and welcome you to schedule the next session in your series before you leave.
When Results Appear and How Long They Last

Many clients notice an improvement in bladder control and pelvic strength after their first or second Emsella session. Results generally continue to build over the following weeks as you complete your series and the pelvic floor muscles strengthen.

Results may vary from person to person. To help preserve your results over time, we may recommend a maintenance plan with periodic sessions after you complete your initial series.
Emsella vs Kegels and Pelvic Floor PT

Kegels strengthen the pelvic floor muscles you can consciously engage. Emsella uses HIFEM energy to prompt contractions across the pelvic floor, including deeper muscles that are difficult to engage on your own, and it is done fully clothed while you sit on the chair.

Emsella can work alongside other care. It may complement pelvic floor physical therapy as part of a broader plan. Your provider will help you decide what combination fits your goals at your consultation.
