At Renew Pelvic Activation Clinic (PAC), our mission is to improve the quality of life for women and men of all ages, and we do this by addressing the cause of incontinence or bladder leakage. Our team of healthcare professionals provide personalized assessments and create a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs. We also support you to maintain the progress you have gained through your journey with us.
WHAT is HIFEM treatment?
High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) treatment is provided at Renew PAC through the Emsella chair.
The Emsella chair uses electromagnetic energy to cause deep pelvic floor muscle stimulation without getting undressed. A single treatment delivers 11,000 Kegel-like contractions which help you train and exercise your muscles while you sit in the chair and relax for the duration of the treatment. Results from evidence-based scientific research have demonstrated that 95% of the treated clients have reported significant improvement in their quality of life.
Benefits of the HIFEM treatment
The main benefits of the HIFEM treatment are to restore pelvic floor muscles and improve:
- Incontinence or bladder leaks
- Urgency to urinate
- Frequency of urination
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Sexual function
The Emcella chair delivers the HIFEM via a non-invasive method that can target the specific muscles required to achieve the results you are looking for.
Candidates for HIFEM treatment
Due to factors such as normal aging, childbirth or menopause, the pelvic floor muscles decondition and insufficiently support the pelvic organs. These factors can directly correlate with urinary incontinence.
Please answer the following questions:
- Do you accidentally pee when you cough, sneeze, laugh, jump, are exercising or bend over or lift items?
- Do you have urinary leakage on the way to the toilet
- Do you go to the bathroom frequently? More than 8 times a day?
- During your day-to-day activities do you wear a pad or panty liner to manage urinary leakage?
- Have you been diagnosed with a prolapse?
- Are you post-partum and want to strengthen your pelvic floor?
- Do you wake up more than once to urinate during the night?
If you responded YES to any of these questions, then please contact us for your free consultation and trial. During this visit we can review your symptoms, answer your questions and determine if you are appropriate for the program.
