HI-EMT Chair Therapy

Why Strengthening Your Pelvic Floor Matters More Than You Think

Your pelvic floor plays a vital role in bladder control, sexual function, posture and core stability, but most people don’t realize these muscles are weakening until symptoms appear. Things like urinary leakage, urgency, erectile changes or a loss of sensation often stem from a pelvic floor that’s no longer as strong as it used to be.

Over time, pregnancy, aging, hormone shifts and inactivity can cause these deep muscles to stretch, weaken or stop responding altogether. Strengthening them with targeted therapies, such as HI-EMT chair therapy, can restore control and prevent long-term dysfunction before it worsens.

What Is HI-EMT Chair Therapy?

HI-EMT stands for High-Intensity Electromagnetic Muscle Training, a cutting-edge technology that uses focused electromagnetic energy to deeply stimulate the pelvic floor. Our high-intensity focused electromagnetic therapy chair offers a non-surgical option for those who want to strengthen these muscles. It is a seated treatment that uses focused energy to trigger thousands of muscle contractions during a single session.

The technology is comfortable and convenient, and improves bladder control, core stability and intimate wellness without any physical effort or trips to the gym. You stay fully clothed while the chair does all the work for you.

How HI-EMT Chair Therapy Works

The high-intensity focused electromagnetic therapy chair generates a rapidly changing magnetic field that creates electrical currents within muscle tissue that bypass the brain and trigger direct motor neuron activation. Each 30-minute session triggers over 11,000 supramaximal contractions, intense muscle contractions that are far beyond what you could achieve with traditional exercises like Kegels.

These powerful, involuntary muscle contractions help to:

• Strengthen and retrain the pelvic floor, improving core support and control
• Activate neuromuscular pathways, enhancing coordination and responsiveness
• Increase local blood flow, supporting sexual function and tissue repair
• Regenerate weakened or atrophied muscle fibers, especially after childbirth, surgery, or hormonal changes

By combining mechanical stimulation with biological restoration, HI-EMT provides a comprehensive approach to pelvic wellness without the need for surgery, downtime or discomfort.

Benefits of HI-EMT Chair Therapy

Functional Pelvic Floor and Core Improvements

The core strength HI-EMT chair treatment targets the muscle groups that support posture, bladder control and daily movement. These supramaximal contractions help rebuild pelvic floor coordination and improve physical stability without manual effort.

Body Contouring

While the focus of this treatment is mainly on rehabilitation and functional improvements, some small aesthetic benefits can accompany these changes. Muscle stimulation from the body contouring HI-EMT chair can help strengthen core muscles in the abdominal region and make the area look more toned. A stronger pelvic floor can also make it easier to do exercises that specifically tone the abdominal area, without worrying about bladder leaks.

Intimacy and Sexual Wellness

The HI-EMT sexual wellness chair stimulates pelvic muscles involved in physical intimacy, blood flow and muscle response. Strengthening this area can help patients regain confidence in intimate settings, whether because of concerns related to aging, childbirth or other changes.

• Men’s Sexual Health: The male sexual health HI-EMT chair improves pelvic floor strength and circulation, which can support erectile function and urinary control.
• Women’s Sexual Health: The female sexual health electromagnetic chair supports muscle tone and responsiveness after childbirth or during the aging process. It can also help reduce vaginal laxity and increase pelvic support.

Sexual wellness HI-EMT for men and women provides a no-downtime option that targets both functional and quality-of-life concerns without surgery or medication.

Long-Term Pelvic Floor Health

HI-EMT can help maintain long-term pelvic muscle tone in people who experience muscle loss due to aging, surgery or inactivity. This chair is suitable for continued sessions and is not dependent on physical fitness or many of the other limitations that come with exercise.

Your Treatment Experience: What to Expect from Your HI-EMT Pelvic Floor Program

At Balanced Medical Solutions, every journey begins with a comprehensive medical evaluation to understand your pelvic floor health, symptoms, and wellness goals. This enables us to create a customized plan that optimizes both safety and effectiveness, tailored to your specific needs.

Your personalized treatment plan includes:

• A full clinical assessment of pelvic muscle tone, bladder control, sexual function, and blood flow
• Customized treatment frequency and duration, typically involving 6–8 sessions over a few weeks, depending on your goals
• Lifestyle education to support pelvic wellness, such as posture, hydration, hormone balance, or sexual health tips
• Progress tracking at each visit so that we can make adjustments based on your results and comfort level

Each session lasts approximately 30 minutes, during which you’ll remain fully clothed and comfortably seated in the HI-EMT chair. As the electromagnetic pulses activate deep muscle contractions, you’ll feel a series of rhythmic tightening and releasing sensations—not painful, just unusual at first.

Most patients describe the experience as odd but tolerable, and many find it relaxing once they adjust. There’s no need for recovery time, so you can resume work, errands, or exercise immediately after your session.

When Will I See Results from HI-EMT Chair Therapy?

Most patients begin noticing subtle improvements after just a few sessions, like fewer bladder leaks, less nighttime urination, increased pelvic strength and/or better control during movement or intimacy. As treatment continues, these changes typically become more consistent and noticeable.

For optimal results, a series of six to eight treatments is usually recommended, spaced out over several weeks. Improvements continue to build even after your last session as your muscles become stronger, more coordinated, and better supported by blood flow.

How Long Do Results Last?

Results can last for several months before muscles begin to lose tone. When you strengthen your muscles with the HI-EMT chair, you can expect your muscles to behave similarly to training other muscles. Without maintenance, your muscles can lose strength again. Consistency with treatments helps preserve results longer, so we often recommend follow-up sessions to keep the muscles engaged and responsive.

Maintenance After HI-EMT Treatments

Maintenance sessions may be performed every one to three months. It can also be beneficial to pair treatments with core exercises and physical therapy to further engage the muscles between visits and reeducate them. We can adjust your schedule based on your goals, activity level and how your body responds. Maintenance is simple, non-disruptive and can be built into a longer-term wellness routine.

Safety, Risks and Contraindications

The pelvic floor strengthening treatment in Hayward, CA, uses non-invasive pelvic floor therapy that does not require anesthesia, downtime or physical exertion. Most people tolerate the treatment well, but some may experience mild muscle fatigue or tingling in the treated area shortly after a session.

People with implanted electronic devices like pacemakers, metal implants or active pelvic infections should not use this technology, and those who are pregnant should wait until after their pregnancy.  We always review your medical history carefully to make sure this treatment is a good fit for you.

Does HI-EMT Work?

A study published in 2020 showed that High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Technology (HIFEM) provided better treatment for a weakened pelvic floor and urinary incontinence in child-bearing women than traditional electrostimulation, according to both ultrasound imaging and patient questionnaires. Up to 44% of women reported improvements when questioned about laxity during intimacy, stress incontinence, and more.

HIFEM has also helped men struggling with urinary incontinence after prostate surgery. In this study, a series of treatments resulted in a reduction of around 54% in pad use for these men. In another study, magnetic stimulation was shown to improve all types of urinary incontinence symptoms, with particular benefits for those with stress incontinence.

How HI-EMT Compares to Other Pelvic Therapies

HI-EMT vs. Kegels

Kegels involve voluntary contractions of the pelvic floor muscles and are often recommended as a first step for improving bladder control or pelvic tone. Success depends on correct technique, muscle awareness and consistency. Some people struggle to isolate the right muscles and maintain motivation long-term, or may have difficulty with exercise efficiency and strength, so HI-EMT incontinence therapy may be a good option.

HI-EMT vs. Pelvic Floor PT

Pelvic floor physical therapy includes guided exercises, manual therapy and muscle retraining under professional supervision. This approach allows for personalized treatment and progress tracking. It may require multiple visits and home exercises. Pelvic floor strengthening with the HI-EMT pelvic floor chair can complement this type of therapy or enhance the results.

HI-EMT vs. Surgical Options

Surgical procedures may be recommended for severe pelvic floor dysfunction when other methods are no longer effective. These can include slings, mesh implants or reconstructive surgery depending on the condition. Surgery typically involves downtime, anesthesia and long-term healing.

Take the First Step Toward Pelvic Strength and Confidence

You don’t have to live with bladder leaks, weak core support or intimacy concerns. HI-EMT Chair Therapy is a safe, noninvasive way to strengthen your pelvic floor, improve sensation and restore function without surgery or embarrassment.
