Emsella
According to the American Urological Association, 25-45% of women older than 30 suffer from stress urinary incontinence. Although men are less likely to report it, they often suffer from incontinence too.
It is well-known that urinary incontinence can be caused by many factors, including pelvic relaxation, birth trauma, and sometimes systemic pathology. A large proportion of the treatment available involves medication and surgery.
Many stories show that after one year, more than half of these patients stop using their medication, mainly due to the numerous side effects of the medications prescribed to treat overactive bladder. Botox injections are also used in the lower segment of the bladder, and surgical slings are commonly used but require highly invasive surgery.
Emsella is a unique electromagnetic chair that uses a high-intensity electromagnetic field to activate motor neurons in the pelvic floor. Emsella is a non-surgical and non-invasive treatment for stress or urge urinary incontinence.
Patients can comfortably sit in the chair wearing their regular clothes. It is designed so that the electromagnetic field focuses on targeted tissue in the pelvis. This treatment strengthens pelvic muscles and restores the support of the pelvic organs. The vaginal walls are also tightened, and incontinence has been proven to decrease.
Emsella is perfect for those who need rehabilitation of weak pelvic muscles and restoration of neuromuscular control – for both male and female urinary incontinence.
Emsella is the first treatment to offer this kind of technology:
- Allows patients to painlessly contract pelvic floor muscles
- Muscles are contracted 11,200 times in a 23-minute session.
- Typically required to have 2 treatments per week for 3 weeks - a total of 6 treatments
- Patients can relax as they sit on the electromagnetic chair
The best thing about Emsella? There is no downtime after each session! You can even have your session during a lunch break. Your provider will create a treatment plan for you. Emsella is the perfect solution for those working out who have noticed leaking as they progress.
By choosing Emsella, they have achieved supramaximal contractions and significantly improved their leakage. Some people see improvement after a single session, and results will usually improve over the next few weeks.

I had struggled to find a doctor that I felt listened to me as long as I had lived in the area. But, after dealing with COVID in 2019, I knew I had to address my health issues. In the last two years, I have often jested with Simon that his care saved my life, but his care truly elevated my quality of life.
Regardless of coming in for a flu shot or a bike accident, he repeatedly takes the time to explain and, more importantly, listen while addressing my concerns.
Amazing bedside manner coupled with empathy. Superb professional skills and communication. Thank you Simon.
I have never felt more heard at a doctor’s office before. My anxieties were put at ease from the moment I sat in the waiting area and Dr. Simon Katumu gave me a warm greeting as he walked by. My appointment took place on time and was thorough. Dr. Katumu really took the time to listen to my concerns, allowed me space to ask questions, and kindly gave me his knowledgeable professional perspective.
