Hingham Physical Therapy Owners Julie and Kris introduce The New Kegel Throne to the South Shore

Physical therapists, Julie Wyper and Kris San Antonio, invested in the BTL EMSELLA for Hingham Physical Therapy because they knew it would provide life-changing treatment for so many of their patients. BTL EMSELLA is a highly effective treatment for stress urinary incontinence (SUI) which causes urine to leak out of the bladder during normal activities. “We’ve heard from so many of our patients that they wanted an easier way to treat incontinence, so when we researched the EMSELLA, we knew it was the answer.”

“People don’t talk about incontinence, but it is so much more common than you think. Millions of women and men are dealing with this, but only half of them seek treatment. We want to change that. We want people to know that incontinence is not normal, and you don’t have to accept it,” said Wyper. “Also, I want people to understand that women AND men suffer from incontinence. It’s not just an older person’s problem. Incontinence doesn’t care how old you are,” added San Antonio.

Treatments using the BTL EMSELLA chair are fast and easy. During the treatment, the patient simply sits on the chair. The EMSELLA machine delivers non-invasive electromagnetic stimulation of the pelvic floor muscles- the equivalent of 12,000 kegels in just 30 minutes. “One of our patients’ favorite things about the EMSELLA is that it is non-invasive. You don’t have to undress, you just walk in for your treatment and then walk back out to live your life,” said Wyper. EMSELLA patients report seeing positive results after the first treatment, though usually 2 to 6 treatments are recommended to fully retrain the pelvic muscles. Women, men, and athletes are finding relief from urinary leakage after treatment by the EMSELLA.

“Look, if EMSELLA is good enough for the Real Housewives, it’s good enough for the South Shore, right?! All joking aside, we are passionate about helping people live full and happy lives. EMSELLA allows men and women to enjoy exercise and even everyday activities without worrying about leakage,” said San Antonio.

NewBeauty 2019 Award Winners: Best Innovations, EMSELLA

Meet the “kegel throne”: BTL EMSELLA, a cutting-edge, completely noninvasive treatment—no removing any clothing or uncomfortable feet-in-stirrups situations involved—that, like EMSCULPT, uses HIFEM technology transmitted through a super high-tech chair to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles. One 28-minute session—six are typically recommended—is equivalent to doing 11,000 kegels, which promotes bladder control to help reduce, and even stop, urinary incontinence.

The Treatment That’s a Major Game Changer for Those With Urinary Incontinence

Picture this: You’ve been out shopping all day and after stepping foot into your car you suddenly feel the urge to pee—immediately. While debating whether to race home or head back into the mall to find a public bathroom, you’ve already wet yourself. Sound familiar? Well, you’re not alone.

Stress urinary incontinence, the most common form of incontinence, affects around 15 million adult women in the United States. However, thankfully there’s now a brand-new solution for that. Enter: EMSELLA, the first device of its kind to treat urinary incontinence and vaginal laxity in women.

While anything that targets such a sensitive area might seem daunting, EMSELLA is completely painless. The treatment uses electromagnetic technology to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles leading to thousands of contractions per session (about 11,200 in 28 minutes!). The result? Stronger, tighter pelvic floor muscles for improved control over the bladder.

In order to get a full rundown of how the treatment works, we had one woman named Cassidy Miller* head over to Vspot, a medispa in New York City, to experience the procedure and report on her results.

The Treatment

After arriving at Vspot, Miller was walked to a treatment room and told to sit on the machine, which Miller notes, looks exactly like a normal chair. Once comfortable, Dr. Carolyn Delucia, ob-gyn and medical director at Vspot, began the treatment, first starting off on a low setting so that Miller could get used to the sensation as well as adjust her body so that it’s positioned correctly.

“Once the procedure started, it wasn’t painful at all and there was no soreness afterward. It felt like a vibrating sensation for 28 minutes,” explained Miller. “It’s also perfect for someone who’s very modest since you’re completely clothed and simply sitting on a chair.”

The Outcome

After four treatments (they cost about $300 each), Miller felt her results were significant. “The best part of this whole experience is that I wake up less at night now, whereas I was waking up every single night to use the bathroom before this.” Additionally, Miller admits to feeling much more control when it comes to urinary leakage. “I haven’t had any leakage issue since getting it done. That didn’t happen often in the past, but it did used to happen and it hasn’t occurred at all since doing EMSELLA.” Considering women with incontinence spend around $900 a year on pads to protect against leakage, this feeling of being in control of her body was a huge deal for Miller.

While it’s always recommended to see a board-certified gynecologist or urologist to get to the root of any incontinence issues, EMSELLA is a great noninvasive option that can make a real difference in people's lives. If Miller’s experience is any indication, it’s certainly worth the money.
