Pelvic Floor Strengthening Treatment Clarkson
Electromagnetic stimulation that strengthens weak pelvic floor muscles to help with incontinence, bladder control and confidence — a genuine, non-surgical option with no downtime.
How It Works
What Is Pelvic Floor Strengthening Treatment?
Pelvic floor strengthening treatment in Clarkson at Hourglass by Design uses electromagnetic energy to trigger thousands of involuntary pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single session. You sit fully clothed on a specialised chair while the technology does the work — delivering contractions that are far more intense and target deeper muscles than you could produce through voluntary Kegel exercises alone.
Those contractions strengthen and re-educate the pelvic floor muscles, which support the bladder, bowel and other pelvic organs. When those muscles are weak — whether from pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, ageing, or high-impact exercise — it can lead to bladder leakage, reduced control, and a feeling of pelvic heaviness. Strengthening them is one of the most direct, non-surgical ways to address those symptoms.
It's a genuine treatment for what it's designed to do. But we'll always be upfront about what it can't do: it's not a cure-all, it won't help every type of incontinence, and it's not suitable for everyone. We'd rather set that expectation clearly at your consultation than have you leave disappointed.
Who It Helps
What It Treats
Pelvic floor strengthening is most effective for people experiencing the symptoms of a weak pelvic floor, including:
- Bladder leakage when coughing, sneezing, laughing, lifting or exercising (stress incontinence)
- A sudden, intense urge to urinate that's hard to control (urge incontinence)
- A combination of both (mixed incontinence)
- Pelvic heaviness or a feeling that things aren't sitting where they should
- Reduced core strength or stability after childbirth
- Age-related pelvic floor changes, particularly during and after menopause
- Reduced confidence during exercise or social situations because of leakage concerns
It's commonly used after pregnancy and childbirth, during perimenopause and menopause, or simply as pelvic floor muscles weaken with age. If you're not sure whether your symptoms fit, that's exactly what the best treatment for incontinence consultation is for — we'll assess your situation honestly before recommending anything.
What It Doesn't Do
Honest Limits
We won't oversell this treatment. Here's what it can't do:
- It's not a cure for severe pelvic organ prolapse that requires surgical repair
- It doesn't address incontinence caused by certain neurological conditions
- Results aren't permanent — maintenance sessions are typically recommended every 6 to 12 months
- It's not suitable during pregnancy, or if you have a pacemaker, certain metal implants, or specific pelvic pain conditions
- It works best for mild to moderate symptoms — if your symptoms are severe, we may recommend you see a specialist first
If we don't think this treatment is the right fit for you, we'll tell you. We'd rather earn your trust than take your money for something that won't help.
Your Experience
What a Session Feels Like
You remain fully clothed throughout the treatment. You simply sit on the specialised chair and relax while the electromagnetic energy delivers thousands of pelvic floor muscle contractions. Most clients describe a tingling sensation and rhythmic contractions that feel unusual at first but comfortable once they settle in. Some people read or scroll their phone during the session.
A typical session lasts around 30 minutes. There's no downtime afterwards — you can go straight back to your normal day. Some clients notice a heightened awareness of their pelvic floor muscles immediately, with gradual improvement in symptoms building over the course of sessions rather than all at once.
Because you're re-educating and strengthening a muscle group, this works best as a short course rather than a single visit. We'll map out a realistic plan for your symptoms and your schedule when you come in, rather than locking you into a generic package. Fei and the team will always explain what to expect before you book anything.
