Pregnancy and childbirth place significant strain on the pelvic floor muscles. For many women, this can lead to postpartum symptoms such as urinary incontinence, reduced core strength, pelvic discomfort, and changes in intimate wellness. At Total Body Aesthetics, we offer EMSELLA, a non-invasive treatment designed to strengthen the pelvic floor and support postpartum recovery without surgery, downtime, or discomfort.

Understanding Postpartum Pelvic Floor Changes

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and bowel. During pregnancy and vaginal delivery, these muscles can become stretched, weakened, or damaged. Even women who deliver via C-section may experience pelvic floor dysfunction due to the physical changes of pregnancy itself.

Common postpartum pelvic floor symptoms include:

•           Urinary leakage when coughing, sneezing, or exercising

•           Difficulty fully emptying the bladder

•           Pelvic heaviness or pressure

•           Reduced core stability

•           Decreased sexual satisfaction

While traditional pelvic floor exercises like Kegels can help, many women struggle to activate the correct muscles or stay consistent - especially during the busy postpartum period.

What Is EMSELLA?

EMSELLA is an FDA-cleared treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate deep pelvic floor muscle contractions. During a single session, EMSELLA triggers thousands of supramaximal contractions - far more than can be achieved through voluntary exercises alone. Treatment is performed while you remain fully clothed, seated comfortably on the EMSELLA chair, with no needles, no internal devices, and no recovery time required.

How EMSELLA Supports Postpartum Recovery

EMSELLA directly targets weakened pelvic floor muscles to restore strength, endurance, and neuromuscular control. For postpartum patients, this can result in meaningful improvements in both function and confidence.

Benefits of EMSELLA for postpartum women may include:

•           Improved bladder control and reduced urinary leakage

•           Strengthened pelvic floor and core muscles

•           Enhanced pelvic support and stability

•           Improved sexual wellness and sensation

•           Faster recovery without disrupting daily routines

Because sessions are short - typically about 30 minutes - EMSELLA fits easily into a busy schedule, even for new moms.

What to Expect During Treatment

A typical EMSELLA treatment plan includes a series of sessions over a few weeks. During each session, you’ll feel tingling and muscle contractions in the pelvic floor area, but the treatment is generally well tolerated and comfortable. You can resume normal activities immediately afterward.

Many patients begin noticing improvements within just a few sessions, with optimal results developing over time as muscle strength increases.
