EMSELLA Pelvic Floor Treatment Tacoma, WA
If you’re planning your day around bathroom stops, crossing your legs every time you sneeze, or feeling like your core never bounced back after childbirth, your pelvic floor is waving a big red flag. Weak pelvic floor muscles can show up as urinary leakage, urgency, or a heavy, unstable feeling through your core and lower back—and it’s not “just part of getting older.”
At The Health Connection in Tacoma, WA, we use EMSELLA to help rebuild that deep support system without anything invasive or awkward. You sit fully clothed in a specialized chair while high‑intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy delivers thousands of supramaximal contractions—similar to doing about 11,000 Kegels in 30 minutes. Over a series of quick sessions, many patients notice better bladder control, improved posture, and a stronger, more confident core.

What is Emsella?
Emsella is a non‑invasive pelvic floor therapy offered at The Health Connection in Tacoma, WA. This FDA‑approved treatment uses high‑intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to trigger thousands of supramaximal contractions in the muscles that support your bladder and core. Each 30‑minute session delivers the equivalent of 11,000 Kegel exercises while you sit fully clothed in a comfortable chair. Those electromagnetic pulses retrain and rebuild your pelvic floor, improve bladder control, and boost core stability. Because there is no surgery, pain, or downtime, Emsella is perfect for busy adults or new parents who don’t have hours to spend on therapy.
As part of our functional wellness approach, Emsella complements chiropractic care by addressing the foundation of your core strength. Patients report the sensation feels like a gentle tapping or tingling. Many notice improvements in posture, core strength, and control after just a few sessions, making this therapy a convenient way to support your well‑being without interrupting daily life or activities
Signs and Symptoms
Pelvic floor weakness often develops gradually, and many people don’t realize they need help until daily life feels uncomfortable. If any of the following descriptions sound familiar, Emsella may provide the support you’ve been searching for:
- Postpartum core weakness – After childbirth, many women feel their pelvic floor muscles have weakened, leading to bladder leakage and reduced core stability.
- Urinary incontinence – Frequent urges, occasional leaks, or difficulty controlling your bladder suggest weakened pelvic muscles that could respond well to Emsella.
- Decreased core strength – Athletes or active individuals noticing reduced core strength and posture can benefit from the intense pelvic muscle contractions this therapy delivers.
- Pelvic instability and confidence issues – Feeling unstable in your core or lacking confidence due to pelvic health concerns signals need for pelvic floor strengthening.
Common Causes
Various life events and habits can strain the pelvic floor. At our Tacoma clinic we see patients dealing with pelvic weakness because of:
- Childbirth and postpartum changes – Pregnancy and delivery place significant strain on pelvic muscles, leaving many women with weakened support and bladder control issues.
- Persistent urinary leakage – Ongoing urgency and leakage indicate that pelvic muscles aren’t contracting effectively, often due to age or daily stress.
- Athletic strain and injuries – Intense training or injuries to the core can overtax the pelvic floor, leading to decreased strength and poor performance.
- General core deconditioning – Sitting for long periods or not engaging the core can weaken these muscles over time, resulting in instability and reduced confidence.
What to Expect for Emsella Treatment
Your Emsella journey begins with an in‑depth conversation with one of our chiropractors about your concerns, goals, and medical history. We evaluate your core and pelvic floor strength to determine whether Emsella fits your needs. You’ll then relax fully clothed in the specialized Emsella chair while focused electromagnetic energy induces thousands of contractions in your pelvic muscles.
Each session lasts about 30 minutes and feels like a gentle tapping or tingling. Because the treatment is non‑invasive and pain‑free, you can read, listen to music, or simply rest while the machine does the work. We typically recommend a series of sessions spaced over several weeks to allow your muscles to build strength gradually. Many patients notice improved bladder control, better posture, and a stronger core within the first few visits. After each appointment you can immediately return to normal activities, and our team will adjust the frequency of visits based on your progress and comfort
Long‑Term Effects of Ignoring It
Pelvic health issues rarely resolve on their own. Delaying care when you experience pelvic floor weakness can keep you from feeling your best and may amplify other concerns over time. Left unaddressed, you may:
- Continue experiencing leakage – Without targeted therapy, the bladder may remain poorly supported, leading to ongoing leakage and urgency that disrupts daily activities.
- Lose core strength and posture – Weak pelvic muscles make it harder to maintain posture and stability, potentially leading to discomfort and back issues.
- Feel less confident – Persistent pelvic health challenges can affect self‑esteem and intimate wellness, limiting your ability to stay active and engaged.
- Miss out on recovery – Ignoring symptoms means missing the chance to rebuild pelvic strength and enjoy improved stability, confidence, and quality of life.

Within a few weeks she reported better bladder control, improved posture, and a stronger core. Her confidence grew, and she returned to daily activities without fear of leaking.
