The triad of strength programming for your posture and for your improvement of low back pain: Emsella for pelvic muscles, EmsculptNeo for your ‘abs’ and your ‘glut’’s.
‘One of the most striking effects of age is the involuntary loss of muscle mass, strength, and function, termed sarcopenia [1–3]. Muscle mass decreases approximately 3–8% per decade after the age of 30 and this rate of decline is even higher after the age of 60.’
Volpi E, Nazemi R, Fujita S. Muscle tissue changes with aging. Curr Opin Clin Nutr Metab Care. 2004 Jul;7(4):405-10.
When you work-out it is difficult to exercise the muscles of the pelvic floor around the vagina, the urethra, and the anus. Think of Emsella as a ‘work-out for the core.’ It’s about ‘being strong from the inside out’ and about waking up our unused muscles in the pelvic floor.
In addition, the vulva and the vaginal tissues lose their volume and vitality with aging and menopause. Other effects of aging are erectile dysfunction and difficulty with attaining an orgasm, both of which result from a diminished blood supply to the pelvic area. Emsella improves the the blood supply by increasing muscle mass. Loss of muscle and bone mass also cause changes in posture and balance.
Emsella is a painless procedure that is performed with you fully clothed and simply sitting in a chair and takes 28 minutes! EMSCULPT NEO is based on an applicator simultaneously emitting synchronized RF and HIFEM+ energies.
Emsella delivers High Frequency Electromagnetic Energy (HIFEM) and Radiofrequency (RF) energy to the muscle, heating it at the same as creating a supramaximal contraction 12,000 times in a 28-minute session. That is 12,000 supra-maximal Kegels. A course consists of 6 sessions, twice a week, but for clients in their 60’s and 70’s, 12 sessions may be needed to get the improvements they desire. Final results are seen 12 weeks after the last session. Most patients need a maintenance treatment every 3 months and the course can be repeated every 6-12 months. Emsella should also be combined with EmsculptNeo to the abdominal muscles to help increase overall core strength so that there is a ‘core to (pelvic) floor’ increase in strength. EmsculptNeo for the Buttock muscles (Gluteus maximus, medius and minimus) helps improve balance and posture and is a natural add-on to Emsella and EmsculptNeo to the abdomen.
Emsella is beneficial for all ages from young adults to women after childbirth and after menopause. Men can also benefit with improvement in erectile dysfunction and after prostatectomy and for bladder control and improvement of stress and urge urinary leakage. For men and women, if you are ‘mapping’ out your bathroom locations when you leave the house, then you should seriously consider Emsella.
In scientific studies there was a 27% increase in core strength in women treated 6 months to 6 years after childbirth and a 37% increase in the 65+ age group. Even women who have a C-Section birth will benefit from Emsella, because there are inevitable and irreversible changes in the vagina and the bony and muscular pelvis from the effects of pregnancy, whether the baby is born vaginally or by a C-section.
Contraindications to HIFEM treatments are IUD’s (copper), artificial (not titanium) joints, any attached device for injection of drugs, pacemakers and of course pregnancy. The first treatment after pregnancy should be delayed for 6 months after childbirth to allow for strengthening and healing of the non-muscular structures (ligaments) in the pelvis.
Dribbling, urge to urinate and leakage of urine after pregnancy and with aging, when laughing, coughing, and jumping or during high impact sports such as trampoline, are common symptoms and can be embarrassing in social situations. Emsella can offer significant improvement in these symptoms.
