Dr. Deborah DeMarta, MD, FACS, FAARFM, of The Institute of Health and Wellness, in Stuart, specializes in Integrative, Functional, Anti-Aging, and Aesthetic Medicine and, to that end, is pleased to offer Emsella Chair treatments for incontinence and sexual health due to weak pelvic floor.

The pelvic floor muscles act like a hammock, supporting the bladder, colon, rectum, vagina, cervix, and uterus. The FDA-cleared Emsella device uses High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate and contract the pelvic floor muscles, strengthening the pelvic floor.

“Unlike performing regular Kegel exercises, the stimulation occurs at a pace higher than the time it takes for your muscles to relax thereby intensifying the efficacy in strengthening the pelvic floor,” Dr. DeMarta explains. “The Emsella Chair engages the voluntary and involuntary muscles at 11,200 supramaximal contractions over 28 minutes—many more than can be done naturally with exercises.”

During the 28-minute treatment, patients remain fully clothed while they sit and relax. Most patients undergo a series of six treatments—two per week for three weeks—as the pelvic floor gradually becomes stronger with each treatment.
