Bladder leaks are common, and there is a non-surgical option

The laugh you brace for. The trampoline you politely decline. The mental map of every washroom between home and anywhere. Bladder leaks are common in women at every stage of life and in many men after prostate treatment, yet many people are offered little between pads and surgery. Emsella is a non-surgical, fully clothed treatment for the pelvic floor itself, offered at AuraWell as a clinically supervised pelvic health pathway.

Who Emsella is considered for

Emsella is considered for stress incontinence, urge symptoms, mixed incontinence, pelvic floor weakening after childbirth, changes after menopause, and men following prostate procedures.

How the Emsella chair works

You sit, fully dressed, on the Emsella chair while high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology, licensed by Health Canada for urinary incontinence, stimulates a large number of deep pelvic floor muscle contractions in a session of about twenty-eight minutes.

What a session feels like

There are no needles, no probes, no undressing and no downtime. Most people describe a strong but painless tingling with muscle contractions, and drive themselves home afterwards.

Emsella, Kegels and pelvic physiotherapy

Kegel exercises rely on finding and working the right muscles voluntarily, which many people find difficult. Emsella activates those muscles passively while you sit. Pelvic physiotherapy remains valuable, and the two can be combined in one plan.

Your course of treatment

Starting with a clinical consultation

Because AuraWell is a medical clinic, your course begins with a pelvic health consultation: confirming that your symptoms fit the treatment, screening for the situations where it should not be used and, where relevant, connecting bladder symptoms to the menopause and hormone care we offer.

A typical six-session course

The standard course is six sessions, usually twice a week over about three weeks, following the manufacturer's established protocol. Response varies from person to person, and your clinician reviews your progress with you during the course.

Maintenance sessions

Some patients choose periodic maintenance sessions after a course. Your clinician discusses this honestly based on how you respond, and it is never added automatically.

Emsella pricing

Is Emsella right for you?

Emsella is used for stress urinary incontinence, urge symptoms and pelvic floor weakness in women and men. A short consultation reviews your symptoms, history and goals before a course is booked.

Who should not use the chair

Emsella is not suitable during pregnancy, with metal implants or electronic devices near the pelvis such as a pacemaker or copper IUD, or with certain other conditions. Your consultation checks for these.

Combining Emsella with pelvic floor exercises

Some patients add pelvic floor exercises or pelvic health physiotherapy alongside their sessions in the chair. Your clinician can suggest what fits your situation.

Good to know

Frequently asked questions

How does Emsella work?

The chair uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology, licensed by Health Canada for urinary incontinence, to trigger many deep pelvic floor muscle contractions in each session, working the muscles that support bladder control.

How much does Emsella cost at AuraWell?

The initial pelvic health consultation is $150, a single session is $300 and a course of six sessions is $1,800.

How many sessions will I need?

The standard course is six sessions, usually twice a week over about three weeks, following the manufacturer's established protocol. Your clinician will discuss maintenance sessions based on how you respond.

When might I notice a change?

Experiences vary. Some patients report changes during the course, while others notice them in the weeks after it ends. Your clinician reviews your progress with you and will be honest about what to expect.

Does it hurt? Is there downtime?

No needles, no probes, and you stay fully clothed. The sensation is a strong tingling with muscle contractions that most people find unusual at first and comfortable after a few minutes. You return to your day straight afterwards.

Am I a candidate?

Candidates include women with stress, urge or mixed incontinence, pelvic floor weakening after childbirth or menopause, and men after prostate treatment. Pregnancy, certain implanted devices and metal in the treatment area rule it out, which is screened at your consultation.

How is this different from Kegels or pelvic physiotherapy?

Kegels rely on finding and working the right muscles voluntarily, which many people find difficult. Emsella activates those muscles passively. Pelvic physiotherapy remains valuable and the two can be combined.

Do I need to undress for Emsella?

No. You stay fully clothed and seated for each session of about 28 minutes.

Is Emsella suitable for men?

Yes. Men use Emsella for bladder leaks, including after prostate surgery, and for pelvic floor weakness.
