Downtime:None
Technology:HIFEM (High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic)
Pelvic Floor Weakness Disrupts Daily Life
A Common but Treatable Condition
Pelvic floor weakness is far more common than most people realize, affecting both men and women across all age groups. Weakened pelvic muscles lead to stress urinary incontinence, urgency, and reduced quality of life. Many patients avoid exercise, social outings, and even simple activities like laughing or sneezing due to fear of leakage. Conditions such as enlarged prostate in men and postpartum changes in women can accelerate pelvic floor deterioration. Traditional treatments such as Kegel exercises require months of disciplined practice with inconsistent results, leaving patients frustrated and searching for better options.
Emsella pelvic floor therapy at Zabinski Urology provides a revolutionary alternative. Using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology, Emsella delivers the equivalent of 11,200 Kegel contractions in a single 28-minute session. Patients remain fully clothed throughout treatment, simply sitting on the Emsella chair while electromagnetic energy stimulates deep pelvic floor muscles. There is no downtime, no discomfort, and no surgery required, allowing patients to return to their daily routine immediately after each session. For patients who need a deeper diagnostic evaluation, urodynamic testing is available at our Melbourne office to pinpoint the exact cause of pelvic floor dysfunction before beginning treatment.
What Is Emsella Therapy?
FDA-Cleared HIFEM Pelvic Technology
Emsella is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive pelvic floor treatment that uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscle contractions. Developed by BTL Industries, the Emsella chair generates a powerful electromagnetic field that penetrates the pelvic floor, triggering supramaximal contractions that are impossible to achieve through voluntary exercise alone. This advanced technology is particularly effective for patients struggling with urinary incontinence who want a non-surgical treatment option.
During each session, HIFEM energy causes approximately 11,200 pelvic floor muscle contractions in just 28 minutes. These supramaximal contractions re-educate weakened muscles, restoring neuromuscular control and improving the structural support of the bladder, urethra, and pelvic organs. The treatment is entirely non-invasive. Patients remain fully clothed and simply sit on the Emsella chair while the device works. For patients who need a comprehensive pelvic assessment, urodynamic testing can be performed beforehand to measure bladder function and confirm diagnosis. Clinical studies demonstrate significant improvement in urinary incontinence symptoms, with many patients reporting noticeable results after just two to three sessions.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Emsella?
Candidacy and Contraindications
Emsella pelvic floor therapy is suitable for a wide range of adults experiencing pelvic floor weakness or urinary incontinence. During your consultation at Zabinski Urology, your urologist will evaluate your symptoms and medical history to determine if Emsella is the right treatment for you.
Ideal Candidates for Emsella Therapy
- Adults experiencing stress, urge, or mixed urinary incontinence
- Women with postpartum pelvic floor weakness
- Men with pelvic floor dysfunction following prostate procedures
- Patients seeking a non-surgical alternative to traditional incontinence treatments
- Those who have tried Kegel exercises without adequate improvement
- Individuals in overall good health with realistic expectations
- Men experiencing erectile dysfunction related to pelvic floor weakness
Who Should Wait or Avoid Emsella
- Patients with metal implants in the pelvic area (hip replacements, metal rods, or screws)
- Individuals with implanted cardiac pacemakers or defibrillators
- Patients with implanted neurostimulators or drug pumps
- Women who are pregnant or planning to become pregnant
- Individuals with active urinary tract infections (treatment may begin after resolution)
- Patients with malignant tumors in the treatment area
Certain electronic or metal implants are absolute contraindications for Emsella due to the strong electromagnetic field generated during treatment. A thorough screening is performed at your initial consultation to ensure your safety.
What Happens During Emsella Treatment
Preparation
You remain fully clothed and simply sit comfortably on the Emsella chair in the treatment room at Zabinski Urology.
Treatment
Your urologist activates the HIFEM device, which delivers 11,200 supramaximal pelvic floor contractions over 28 minutes.
Completion
You stand up and leave immediately with zero downtime. Most patients schedule sessions twice weekly over three weeks.
Side Effects and Safety
What to Know
Emsella pelvic floor therapy is FDA-cleared and has an excellent safety profile. Because the treatment is entirely non-invasive and requires no anesthesia, serious side effects are extremely rare.
Some patients experience mild tingling or muscular soreness in the pelvic area during or after treatment, similar to the feeling after an intense workout. This typically resolves within a few hours. Temporary mild redness in the treatment area may occur but is uncommon.
There are no reported long-term adverse effects from Emsella therapy. The electromagnetic energy targets only the pelvic floor muscles and does not affect surrounding organs or tissues. Patients with metal implants, cardiac pacemakers, or implanted electronic devices must not undergo treatment due to potential interference with these devices. Our urologists conduct thorough pre-treatment screenings at Zabinski Urology to ensure every patient is a safe candidate before beginning their Emsella protocol.

Emsella Therapy FAQ
Answers to Your Questions
01 How does Emsella work?
Emsella uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate approximately 11,200 supramaximal pelvic floor contractions in a single 28-minute session. These deep contractions strengthen the pelvic floor muscles far beyond what voluntary Kegel exercises can achieve.
02 Do I need to undress for Emsella treatment?
No. You remain fully clothed throughout the entire treatment. Simply sit on the Emsella chair in your regular clothing while the device works through the seat to stimulate your pelvic floor muscles.
03 How many sessions will I need?
The standard protocol is six sessions scheduled twice per week over three weeks. Your urologist will customize your treatment plan based on your specific condition and may recommend maintenance sessions for sustained results.
04 Is Emsella painful?
Most patients describe the sensation as tingling and mild pelvic floor contractions. The intensity is gradually increased during your first session for comfort. The treatment is well-tolerated and requires no anesthesia or numbing.
05 When will I see results from Emsella?
Many patients notice improvement after two to three sessions. Full results typically develop two to three weeks after completing the six-session protocol. Clinical studies report up to 95% patient satisfaction rates.
06 Can men receive Emsella treatment?
Yes. Emsella is effective for both men and women. Men experiencing pelvic floor weakness, urinary incontinence following prostate procedures, or erectile dysfunction may benefit from Emsella therapy. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can improve blood flow and neuromuscular function that supports erectile health.
07 Are there any restrictions on who can use Emsella?
Patients with metal implants in the pelvic area, cardiac pacemakers, implanted defibrillators, or implanted neurostimulators cannot undergo Emsella treatment. Pregnant women should also avoid treatment. A thorough screening is conducted before your first session.
