Between pregnancy, childbirth, and the aging process, the pelvic floor weakens causing various challenges. These include frequent bathroom trips, urinary incontinence, sleep interruptions, pelvic organ prolapse, and difficulties with intimacy.\n<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bodyworksmedspa.ca\/emsella\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Emsella chair<\/a> has been treating all of these indications and helping to improve pelvic floor health since 2017. It continues to gain recognition from the medical community and has an ever-growing number of beneficiaries.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cAt first, many people were skeptical of Emsella,\u201d says Catherine Crosbie, owner-operator of <a href=\"https:\/\/bodyworksmedspa.ca\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Body Works Med Spa &amp; Wellness<\/a>. \u201cNow, a lot of people have heard of it and even ask about it by name\u201d.\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>   Body Works Med Spa &amp; Wellness was among the first to bring the Emsella chair to Nova Scotia in 2021. The wellness clinic is the most experienced provider in the province with treatments supervised by a physician. Clinical studies show that 95% of subjects report improved quality of life after Emsella treatments. <\/p>\n<p>\n  When treatment is as easy as sitting fully clothed on a chair for 28 minutes at a time, it\u2019s no wonder this evidence-based technology is gaining popularity. At Body Works, clients can watch a Netflix show during their treatment then return to their daily routines. Some clients notice a difference in just 1 to 3 weeks, with peak results showing up 3 months after completing their last treatment.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  The seat of the Emsella chair emits electromagnetic energy, which penetrates up to 7 centimeters inside the body. Unlike electrical stimulation, electromagnetic energy generates supramaximal muscle contractions. These are involuntary muscle contractions that engage muscles significantly more than voluntary muscle contractions.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Using <a href=\"https:\/\/bodyworksmedspa.ca\/emsella\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Emsella<\/a> to strengthen pelvic floor muscles improves signals that originate in and control the pelvic zone. It also increases blood flow and oxygenation to the pelvic tissues. As a result, Emsella reduces daytime and nighttime bathroom trips, improves symptoms of urinary incontinence, improves early stages of female organ prolapse, and enhances sexual function and pleasure.\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  \u201cThe majority of our clients are moms of all ages and women who\u2019ve noticed pelvic floor changes with age\u201d, says Crosbie, \u201cbut we see men, too.\u201d Men often develop an enlarged prostate gland as they age, causing sudden urges to go to the bathroom, frequent urination, a weak urine stream, and difficulty emptying the bladder. Emsella can help with these symptoms and even delay the need for surgery. \u201cAdditionally, when men and women do Emsella before and after surgery, it improves surgical outcomes and reduces recovery time.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Crosbie says that the best comparable to Emsella is pelvic floor physiotherapy. People often come to Emsella after trying physiotherapy and not experiencing enough change, or not being able to find time for at-home exercises. Others use Emsella because they prefer to avoid the invasive nature of pelvic floor physiotherapy. \u201cPeople appreciate that they can do Emsella while fully clothed,\u201d says Crosbie. \u201cPlus it\u2019s more powerful, faster-acting, and less time-consuming.\u201d\n<\/p>\n<p>\n  Body Works also offers complimentary services such as Emsculpt Neo. While Emsella strengthens the pelvic floor, <a href=\"https:\/\/bodyworksmedspa.ca\/emsculpt-neo\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Emsculpt Neo<\/a> strengthens other muscle groups in the abdomen, arms, and legs to improve tone, strength, and function. Using Emsella and Emsculpt Neo together can have synergistic benefits.\n<\/p>\n<p>   For the month of June only, Body Works is offering <a href=\"https:\/\/bodyworksmedspa.ca\/monthly-deals\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">30% off Emsella packages<\/a>.
