Call today or book your consultation online to learn more about how you can strengthen your pelvic floor and relieve troublesome symptoms.

What is pelvic floor dysfunction?

Your pelvic floor is the group of muscles and connective tissues that support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. These muscles help control:

• Urinary control
• Bowel control
• Core stability
• Sexual function

Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when these muscles become weak, overstretched, or poorly coordinated. Common symptoms include:

• Urinary incontinence when coughing, sneezing, or exercising
• Frequent or urgent need to urinate
• Reduced sexual sensation
• Pelvic pressure or heaviness
• Lower back or core weakness

While pelvic floor dysfunction is common, it is not something you have to accept.

What are the benefits of strengthening the pelvic floor?

Strengthening your pelvic floor can improve both function and quality of life.

Improved bladder control

Stronger pelvic muscles better support the bladder and urethra, reducing urinary leakage and urgency.

Enhanced core stability

The pelvic floor works with your abdominal and back muscles to stabilize your core. Strengthening it can improve posture and reduce lower back discomfort.

Increased sexual wellness

Improved muscle tone may enhance sensitivity, sensation, and overall sexual health.

Greater confidence

Reduced leaks and improved control often restore confidence during exercise, social activities, and daily life.

Body by Goldman offers EMSELLA®, which uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM®) technology to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscle contractions and help:

• Rebuild muscle strength
• Improve neuromuscular control
• Restore pelvic support
• Enhance overall function

Because EMSELLA targets deep muscle layers, it can help if you struggle to perform strengthening exercises correctly on your own.

What can I expect from a personalized plan to strengthen my pelvic floor?

The team creates customized pelvic floor strengthening programs, starting with a comprehensive evaluation. They review your symptoms and severity, medical and surgical history, lifestyle factors, and wellness goals.

If your provider recommends EMSELLA, you may need a series of sessions for best results, but every plan varies depending on your condition and desired outcomes. During each treatment, you’ll stay clothed and relaxed on the EMSELLA chair while the device delivers electromagnetic pulses.

You may feel a tingling sensation (but no pain) as it stimulates your pelvic floor muscles. In a bit less than 30 minutes, the session finishes, and you can return to your routine with no downtime.

The Body by Goldman team believes you can enjoy greater pelvic floor strength and stability. Schedule a consultation today by calling the office or using the online booking option.
