Pelvic Floor Strengthening for Men & Women — Sit. Strengthen. Restore Confidence.
At BrandeisMD in San Ramon, Dr. Judson Brandeis offers Emsella—a noninvasive, chair-based treatment designed to strengthen the pelvic floor for men and women. Using high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy, Emsella delivers thousands of supramaximal “Kegel-like” contractions in a single 28-minute session to help improve bladder control, sexual function, and overall pelvic health.
Who Emsella Helps
- Women with stress, urge, or mixed urinary incontinence (including postpartum and age-related changes)
- Men experiencing urinary leakage, urgency, or post-prostate procedure pelvic weakness
- Anyone seeking drug-free, non-surgical pelvic floor strengthening with no downtime
Note: Emsella is FDA-cleared for the treatment of urinary incontinence. Results and treatment plans vary by individual.
How Emsella Works
HIFEM technology triggers deep pelvic floor contractions that are difficult to achieve with standard exercises. These contractions can:
- Strengthen pelvic floor muscles that support the bladder and urethra
- Improve neuromuscular control for better continence
- Enhance sexual function and confidence by increasing pelvic tone and blood flow
You’ll sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair while the device does the work. Most patients describe a gentle tapping/tingling that progresses to strong contractions, then relaxes in cycles.
Treatment Plan & What to Expect
- Session length: ~28 minutes, fully clothed
- Typical protocol: 6 sessions over 3 weeks (twice weekly), with periodic maintenance as needed
- Downtime: None — resume normal activity immediately
- When improvements appear: Many notice changes after a few sessions; results build over several weeks
Why Choose BrandeisMD
- Led by Dr. Judson Brandeis, nationally recognized men’s health & urology expert
- Personalized pelvic health plans for women and men, including lifestyle guidance and at-home exercises
- Integration with other evidence-based services (e.g., P-Long®, Shockwave Therapy, PRP Therapy) when appropriate
Emsella for Men
Men can benefit from Emsella to improve urinary urgency, frequency, and leakage associated with pelvic floor weakness. It’s frequently used as a noninvasive adjunct to help restore confidence after prostate procedures and to support sexual health by improving pelvic muscle tone.
Emsella for Women
For women with stress, urge, or mixed incontinence, Emsella provides deep, targeted activation of the pelvic floor without discomfort or downtime—ideal for postpartum recovery and age-related changes in pelvic support.
The Men’s Emsella Study by Dr. Judson Brandeis
Dr. Judson Brandeis is leading a clinical study investigating how Emsella can improve pelvic floor function, urinary control, and sexual performance in men. Known as the Men’s Emsella Study, this research explores the benefits of HIFEM therapy in promoting better circulation, neuromuscular coordination, and overall pelvic health.
The study is part of Dr. Brandeis’s ongoing mission to advance men’s health through science and innovation. By analyzing the effects of Emsella on male pelvic performance, his team aims to provide new insights into natural, noninvasive ways to strengthen the foundation of men’s health.
