Pelvic floor weakness is common and can affect both women and men at different stages of life. EMSELLA is a non-invasive treatment delivered using a specialist chair designed to stimulate and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles while you remain fully clothed.
At Bodyfunction’s Marylebone clinic, EMSELLA treatment is offered as part of a considered, clinical approach to pelvic floor health. Sessions are short, discreet, and require no recovery time, making them suitable for people looking for a practical option alongside physiotherapy or osteopathy where appropriate.
EMSELLA is a medical-grade chair that uses high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation to activate the pelvic floor muscles. During a session, you sit comfortably on the chair while targeted energy causes the muscles to contract repeatedly. These contractions are significantly stronger than those typically achieved through voluntary exercises alone. Over a course of treatment, this stimulation aims to improve pelvic floor strength, muscle coordination, and neuromuscular control. Treatment is carried out with you fully clothed and does not involve internal examination or invasive procedures.

EMSELLA may be considered for people experiencing pelvic floor weakness or related symptoms, including:
A standard EMSELLA session lasts approximately 28 minutes. You remain seated and fully clothed throughout the treatment.
During the session, you will feel rhythmic muscle contractions in the pelvic floor area. Sensations vary between individuals but are generally described as unusual rather than painful. Intensity levels are adjusted to suit comfort and tolerance.
A typical course often involves a series of sessions, commonly six, delivered over several weeks. Some people notice improvement during the course, while others experience gradual change over time. Results vary, and maintenance sessions may be recommended depending on individual goals and response.
EMSELLA is not positioned as a standalone solution for all pelvic floor issues.
At Bodyfunction, it is often considered as one part of a broader care pathway.
In some cases, pelvic floor physiotherapy may be recommended to support strength, coordination, and long-term function. Osteopathy may also play a role where pelvic mechanics, lower back, or hip movement are contributing factors.
Where appropriate, your clinician will discuss how EMSELLA fits alongside other treatments to support a more complete and sustainable outcome.
Independent clinicians share their perspective on EMSELLA and how it supports pelvic floor strengthening.
"The advantage of the HIFEM technology with EMSELLA is that it delivers the energy to the entire pelvic floor and beyond."
"The results have been really rewarding and there are many patients who call this a life-changing kind of experience."
"Patient response has been fantastic to the EMSELLA chair. Primarily it is geared for those who want a non-invasive treatment."
EMSELLA treatment is available at Bodyfunction’s Marylebone clinic in Central London. The clinic is easily accessible by public transport and offers a discreet, professional environment for treatment.
Most people do not find EMSELLA painful. You will feel strong muscle contractions, but intensity is adjusted to remain tolerable.
EMSELLA is a non-invasive treatment used in clinical settings. Suitability is assessed before treatment, and contraindications are discussed during consultation.
Results vary between individuals. Some people benefit from maintenance sessions to support longer-term pelvic floor strength.
