Emsella Canberra
What Is Emsella and How Does It Work?
Emsella is a non-invasive pelvic floor treatment that uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate and strengthen the deep pelvic floor muscles.
You simply sit fully clothed on the specialised Emsella chair for approximately 28–30 minutes. The chair delivers thousands of supramaximal contractions per session — far more intense and effective than Kegel exercises you can do on your own.
These powerful contractions re-educate and rebuild the pelvic floor muscles, improving neuromuscular control, muscle tone, and endurance. A typical treatment protocol involves 6 sessions (usually 2 per week for 3 weeks).
There is no downtime. You can return to work or normal activities immediately after each session.
Who Is Emsella Suitable For in Canberra?
Emsella is ideal for women experiencing symptoms of pelvic floor weakness. It is commonly sought by clients in Canberra for:
- Stress incontinence – leaking with coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting
- Urge incontinence – sudden strong urges to urinate
- Postpartum pelvic floor recovery – after vaginal or caesarean birth
- Menopause-related changes – loss of muscle tone due to hormonal shifts
- General core weakness – wanting better pelvic and core stability
It can also provide secondary benefits such as improved confidence, better intimate sensation, and stronger overall pelvic support.
Important: Emsella is best suited for mild to moderate pelvic floor issues. It is not a treatment for significant pelvic organ prolapse or severe incontinence. A consultation is required to assess suitability.

Frequently Asked Questions about Emsella Canberra
Does Emsella hurt? Most clients describe it as a strong pulsing or tapping sensation caused by the muscle contractions. It is generally very tolerable and not painful. The intensity can be adjusted during your session for maximum comfort.
How many sessions will I need? Most clients achieve best results with a course of 6 treatments. Some notice improvement after 2–3 sessions, while full benefits often appear in the weeks following completion.
How does Emsella compare to Kegel exercises? Emsella delivers thousands of highly effective contractions per session. It is an excellent way to jump-start pelvic floor strength and is often used to complement ongoing Kegel exercises.
