Understanding EMSELLA by Maud: Revolutionizing Pelvic Health
When it comes to pelvic health, many individuals may overlook the importance of pelvic floor strength and its significant impact on overall well-being. At Maud Medical Clinic Calgary, we are dedicated to providing innovative solutions to improve pelvic health and enhance quality of life. One of the most groundbreaking treatments we offer is EMSELLA. This non-invasive procedure has gained recognition for its effectiveness in treating pelvic floor issues, including urinary incontinence and sexual dysfunction. In this blog post, we will explain the benefits, usage, and importance of EMSELLA by Maud, while also providing comprehensive education on the pelvic floor and Kegel exercises.
Understanding the Pelvic Floor
The pelvic floor is a complex network of muscles, ligaments, and tissues that span the base of the pelvis. These muscles form a supportive "hammock" that holds the pelvic organs in place, including the bladder, rectum, and reproductive organs. The pelvic floor plays a vital role in various bodily functions, such as:
Urination Control: The pelvic floor muscles help control bladder function, preventing incontinence and providing support during urination.
Bowel Control: A strong pelvic floor aids in maintaining bowel control, minimizing the risk of fecal incontinence.
Sexual Function: The pelvic floor is integral to sexual arousal and orgasm, contributing to pleasure and satisfaction during intimate activities.
The Significance of Pelvic Floor Health
Pelvic floor health is essential for individuals of all genders and ages. A well-functioning pelvic floor can enhance quality of life and improve overall physical health. However, many people are unaware of their pelvic floor and may only recognize its importance when problems arise. Conditions such as pelvic floor dysfunction can lead to uncomfortable symptoms that greatly affect daily life and well-being.
Common Symptoms of Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction can include:
Urinary incontinence or urgency
Pain during intercourse
Reduced sexual satisfaction
Prolapse of pelvic organs
Understanding these symptoms and recognizing when to seek help is essential for maintaining pelvic health.
The Role of Kegel Exercises in Pelvic Floor Health
Kegel exercises are simple and effective movements that can strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. Kegels are beneficial for all genders, significantly improving pelvic health.
How to Perform Kegel Exercises
Performing Kegel exercises involves contracting and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles to help strengthen them. Here’s a step-by-step guide:
Identify Your Pelvic Floor Muscles: To locate the right muscles, try to stop urination midstream. The muscles you use for this action are your pelvic floor muscles.
Get Comfortable: You can perform Kegel exercises while sitting, lying down, or standing.
Contract the Muscles: Take a deep breath and slowly contract your pelvic floor muscles. Hold the contraction for 3 to 5 seconds.
Release: Relax the muscles for the same amount of time.
Repetitions: Aim for 10 repetitions in one session, and try to do three sets a day. Gradually increase the duration of each contraction as your strength improves.

Benefits of Kegel Exercises
The benefits of incorporating Kegel exercises into your routine include:
Improved Bladder Control: Regular practice can reduce urinary incontinence and urgency.
Enhanced Sexual Function: Strengthening pelvic floor muscles can lead to increased sensation, stronger orgasms, and improved sexual satisfaction.
Support During Pregnancy: Kegel exercises can help during pregnancy by preparing the body for labor and reducing the risk of complications.
Aid in Recovery: After childbirth or pelvic surgery, Kegel exercises can facilitate healing and recovery by rebuilding strength.
Introducing EMSELLA by Maud
EMSELLA is a revolutionary treatment developed for individuals experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction. At Maud Medical Clinic Calgary, we are proud to offer EMSELLA by Maud—a non-invasive therapy that harnesses advanced technology to strengthen pelvic floor muscles without the need for surgery or downtime. The procedure utilizes high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscle contractions. With over 11800 kegel contractions in just 30 minutes, EMSELLA delivers life-long results for bladder, pelvic, and sexual health.
How Does EMSELLA Work?
EMSELLA provides an effective alternative to traditional Kegel exercises by stimulating thousands of supramaximal contractions in the pelvic floor muscles during each session. Here’s how it works:
Comfortable Treatment Sessions: Patients remain fully clothed and sit on the EMSELLA chair for about 28 minutes.
High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Technology: The chair emits electromagnetic waves that penetrate deep into the pelvic floor muscles, inducing contractions that are difficult to achieve through voluntary effort alone.
Strengthening the Pelvic Floor: These intensive contractions strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and improve bladder control, sexual function, and overall pelvic health.
The Benefits of EMSELLA by Maud
EMSELLA provides numerous advantages, including:
Convenience: Each session requires minimal time commitment, making it easy to fit into a busy schedule.
No Downtime: Patients can resume daily activities immediately after treatment.
Non-Invasive Approach: The procedure does not involve surgical risks or recovery time.
Improved Quality of Life: Many patients report significant improvements in symptoms of urinary incontinence and enhanced sexual satisfaction.
Integrating Kegels with EMSELLA
One of the advantages of EMSELLA is that it can complement traditional Kegel exercises. By enhancing pelvic floor strength through technology, EMSELLA provides a powerful, supportive treatment that can optimize the effectiveness of Kegel exercises. After completing a series of EMSELLA sessions, individuals may find that they can perform Kegel exercises more effectively, further enhancing their pelvic health.
The Role of Physicians in Pelvic Health
At Maud Medical Clinic Calgary, our healthcare professionals play a pivotal role in assessing and addressing pelvic health concerns. Understanding the pelvic floor's importance and openly discussing symptoms with a physician is critical for early intervention and effective treatment.
Healthcare providers can help patients navigate their pelvic health journey, determine whether EMSELLA is the right treatment option, and provide education on performing Kegel exercises correctly. This collaborative approach fosters better outcomes and empowers patients to take control of their pelvic health.
Investing in pelvic floor health is essential for overall well-being and quality of life. Through treatments like EMSELLA by Maud and regular practice of Kegel exercises, individuals can significantly improve their pelvic health, reduce symptoms of dysfunction, and enhance intimacy and sexual satisfaction.
