Strength Within: Your Questions Answered

What is EMS Chair Therapy?

EMS Chair Therapy uses focused electromagnetic energy to stimulate thousands of deep pelvic floor muscle contractions while you sit fully clothed. It strengthens the muscles responsible for bladder control, pelvic support, and sexual health.

EMS therapy is suitable for women and men experiencing:

• Pelvic floor weakness

• Urinary leakage or urgency

• Postnatal or post-surgical pelvic changes

• Pelvic instability or discomfort

• Reduced sexual function related to muscle weakness

A pelvic health assessment helps determine if it's right for you.

Do I need to undress for treatment?

No — you remain fully clothed. The treatment is completely external and non-invasive.

What does the treatment feel like?

Most people describe it as strong, rhythmic tightening of the pelvic floor muscles. It should never be painful. Intensity can be adjusted for comfort.

How long is each session?

Each treatment lasts about 30 minutes.

How many sessions will I need?

Can I combine EMS therapy with pelvic physiotherapy?

Absolutely. Many clients see even better results when EMS is combined with pelvic floor physiotherapy, breathwork, core rehabilitation, or tailored strengthening exercises.

Will I feel results straight away?

Many people notice changes after a few sessions, such as better bladder control or a stronger pelvic connection. Full results typically appear after completing the full programme.

Can it help after childbirth or prostate surgery?

Yes. EMS therapy can support recovery by strengthening weakened or inactive pelvic muscles. It is especially helpful when traditional exercises feel difficult to perform effectively.
