Non-Invasive Pelvic Floor Therapy: A Modern Solution for Incontinence and Core Strength
Do you leak during exercise, laughter, or daily activities? You’re not alone. Millions of women experience weakened pelvic floor muscles, urinary incontinence, and related discomfort. These common issues affect everyday life and lead to embarrassment and frustration. But there’s a non-invasive solution that’s changing the way people approach pelvic floor wellness: electromagnetic pelvic muscle stimulation.
This advanced therapy uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to strengthen pelvic floor muscles without surgery or downtime. In this guide, we’ll explain how the treatment works, who it helps, and what you can expect from a typical session.
What Is a Pelvic Floor Therapy Chair?
A pelvic floor therapy chair is a non-invasive device that uses targeted electromagnetic pulses to stimulate deep muscle contractions in the pelvic area. These contractions mimic the effects of high-repetition Kegel exercises, helping to rebuild strength in the pelvic floor muscles that support bladder control, core stability, and sexual function.
Each session lasts about 30 minutes and delivers thousands of muscle contractions, all while you're seated comfortably and fully clothed. The treatment is discreet, painless, and requires no recovery time.
How Does It Work?
The chair uses HIFEM energy to activate deep pelvic floor muscles. When you sit on the device, electromagnetic pulses are delivered directly through the clothing and into the targeted area, causing involuntary muscle contractions that are more intense than traditional exercises.
Most patients complete a series of six sessions over three weeks. During each treatment, you’ll feel rhythmic muscle stimulation that gradually increases in intensity, often described as pulsing or tapping sensations.
Who Can Benefit From Non-Invasive Pelvic Floor Treatment?
This type of therapy is effective for a wide range of individuals, especially those seeking bladder control improvement and pelvic muscle rehabilitation.
Common candidates include:
Women with stress urinary incontinence: Reduces leakage during laughing, sneezing, or physical activity
Postpartum women: Helps restore pelvic strength after childbirth
Athletic women: Supports core stability during high-impact workouts
Perimenopausal or menopausal women: Addresses pelvic laxity related to hormonal changes
Men after prostate surgery: Aids in regaining control post-operatively

Benefits of Electromagnetic Pelvic Floor Stimulation
Pelvic Floor Strengthening
Deep muscle contractions strengthen the pelvic floor, reduce leakage, and improve day-to-day comfort.
Bladder Control
Clinical research shows significant improvement in urinary incontinence symptoms. Many patients report up to a 75% reduction in leakage episodes after completing treatment.
Intimacy and Sexual Wellness
Stronger muscles in the pelvic region can lead to improved sensation and greater satisfaction during intimacy.
Faster Postpartum Recovery
New mothers benefit from enhanced pelvic support and improved core function during postpartum healing.
What to Expect During a Session
Quick and Comfortable
Each session takes about 30 minutes. You stay fully clothed and can read or relax while seated. The device emits a series of gentle pulses that stimulate the pelvic floor muscles.
No Downtime
You can return to your daily activities immediately after treatment. There’s no pain, no needles, and no recovery period.
Treatment Schedule
Most patients receive six treatments over a three-week period, typically two sessions per week. Some may benefit from follow-up maintenance every few months.
Who Should Not Use This Treatment?
While non-invasive pelvic floor stimulation is safe for most, it’s not right for everyone. You should avoid treatment if you:
Are pregnant
Have a pacemaker or electronic implant
Have a metal implant in or near the pelvic area
Have an active pelvic infection or have recently had pelvic surgery
Always consult your provider to ensure this treatment is safe for your health history.
How to Prepare
Wear loose, comfortable clothing. Remove any metal accessories near your pelvic area and use the restroom beforehand. Most patients bring a book or scroll their phone during the session.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is the treatment painful? No. Most describe it as a series of mild vibrations or tapping.
How soon will I see results? Some improvement may be noticeable after 2–3 sessions. Optimal results are typically seen after completing the full treatment plan.
How long do the results last? Many patients experience long-term improvement, though maintenance sessions every 3–6 months may help sustain results.
Can I do this treatment while pregnant? No, you should wait until after childbirth.
Is this a good alternative to Kegel exercises? Yes. The treatment delivers thousands of muscle contractions per session, offering a more efficient and effective way to strengthen the pelvic floor.
