Do you avoid certain activities because you’re worried about bladder leaks? Maybe you cross your legs when you sneeze, plan your day around nearby bathrooms, or hesitate to exercise because of unexpected urine leakage.
You’re not alone—and you don’t have to simply live with it.
The Emsella chair is an FDA and Health Canada-approved strength training device for the pelvic floor, offering several benefits for both men and women. It’s an effective, non-invasive solution for stress, urge, and mixed urinary incontinence. It can also improve sexual wellness and core strength. A stronger pelvic floor means better bladder control, which often means fewer nighttime trips to the bathroom and better sleep. Emsella can also help resolve or improve early stages of pelvic organ prolapse.
All you have to do is sit on the Emsella chair, fully clothed, for about 28 minutes per session. Regain confidence and quality of life with Emsella at CN Physiotherapy’s Orleanswood clinic, serving Ottawa and Orléans.
Whether you’re dealing with occasional leaks, pelvic floor weakness, or changes following pregnancy or menopause,
EMSELLA® may be an option worth exploring.
Emsella was developed by BTL after years of clinical research and launched in 2018. It uses HIFEM (high-intensity focused electromagnetic) energy to make the pelvic floor muscles contract and release, while also improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to the pelvic tissues.
HIFEM energy works differently than electrical stimulation — it triggers supramaximal muscle contractions, meaning the muscle engages far more fully than it can during a voluntary contraction like a Kegel. Because the energy reaches up to 10 cm into the body, Emsella both strengthens existing pelvic floor muscle fibers and stimulates new ones to form, a process known as hypertrophy. A single 28-minute Emsella session produces roughly the equivalent of 11,200 Kegel contractions.
In clinical studies, 95% of patients reported an improved quality of life after treatment. Emsella achieves this without surgery, injections, an invasive exam, or downtime — you stay fully clothed for every session. Just sit on the Emsella chair at our Orleanswood clinic and go on with your day.
Pelvic floor weakness is more common than most people realize. It can develop after pregnancy, with age, following surgery, due to hormonal changes, prostate surgery, or long-term muscle dysfunction.
Many patients notice leaking when they cough, sneeze, laugh, exercise, lift something heavy, or rush to the bathroom. If this sounds familiar, Emsella offers a non-invasive, non-surgical way to strengthen the pelvic floor and regain better control — without needles, undressing, or downtime.
During an Emsella session, you sit on the treatment chair while the device stimulates the pelvic floor muscles. There is no need to undress, no needles, no surgery, and no downtime.
Patients remain fully clothed throughout the Emsella treatment session.
Emsella is non-invasive, with no surgery, needles, or recovery time required.
The treatment is designed to stimulate pelvic floor contractions and support better muscle activation.

The clinic is convenient for people near Place d’Orléans, Ray Friel Recreation Complex, Millennium Sports Park, Petrie Island, Innes Road, Trim Road, Tenth Line Road, St. Joseph Boulevard, and Ottawa Road 174.
Emsella treatment may be suitable for people who want to improve pelvic floor strength and bladder control without invasive procedures. It may be especially helpful for patients who feel limited by urinary leakage, urgency, or reduced confidence in daily life.
At CN Physiotherapy, patients receive support from a physiotherapy-focused clinic that understands movement, muscle function, recovery, and rehabilitation. The goal is not only to provide Emsella sessions, but to help patients understand their symptoms and choose a plan that supports long-term pelvic health.
