A Pelvic Health Game Changer
If you’ve ever laughed, sneezed, or jumped and felt that dreaded little leak—you’re not alone. Pelvic floor concerns like urinary incontinence, core weakness, or intimate discomfort affect millions of people, and they’re often brushed aside as “normal” or something we just have to live with. But at RG Spa and Wellness, we believe you deserve better. That’s why we’re proud to offer Emsella, a revolutionary treatment that’s changing lives—quietly, comfortably, and effectively.
What Is Emsella?
Emsella is a non-invasive, FDA- and Health Canada-approved technology that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate the pelvic floor muscles. In just one 28-minute session, Emsella delivers the equivalent of over 11,000 Kegels—without you having to do a thing.
You simply sit, fully clothed in loose, comfortable clothing, on the Emsella chair while the technology works its magic..
Who Can Benefit?
Emsella is designed for adults, women and men experiencing:
- Urinary incontinence or frequent urges
- Postpartum pelvic floor weakness
- Age-related changes in core strength or bladder control
- Challenges with intimate wellness and sexual function
The Process
Before you can begin treatments, you’ll complete a confidential screening call with a pelvic health physiotherapist from our trusted partners at Leading Edge Physiotherapy. This ensures the treatment is safe, effective, and tailored for you.
Each session is $300, and while some clients may feel some results after just a few sessions, a full protocol usually includes six treatments over three weeks for optimal and lasting results.
Why Clients Love It
- No downtime – pop in on your lunch break and get back to your day.
- Completely non-invasive – no needles, no prep, no undressing.
- Clinically proven – backed by research and loved by pelvic health professionals.
The Science Behind Emsella: How It Works
Emsella uses High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology, which penetrates deep into the pelvic floor muscles, triggering powerful supramaximal contractions. Unlike voluntary contractions, which fatigue quickly, these involuntary muscle contractions are more intense and sustained, activating nearly 100% of muscle fibers. This intense stimulation leads to muscle remodeling and significant strengthening over time.
These contractions also stimulate the neuromuscular system, enhancing nerve signaling and coordination in the pelvic area. This means that not only are the muscles becoming stronger, but the brain and nerves learn to better engage and control these muscles, improving bladder function and reducing involuntary leakage.
Research has shown that Emsella treatment leads to increased muscle thickness and improved muscle tone, which supports the bladder and urethra more effectively. This support is crucial for preventing stress urinary incontinence, which happens during activities that increase abdominal pressure such as coughing, sneezing, or exercising.
Additionally, Emsella enhances blood circulation within the pelvic region, promoting tissue health and aiding recovery. This improved circulation can also have positive effects on sexual function by increasing sensitivity and responsiveness.
Overall, Emsella represents a breakthrough in pelvic health by combining muscle strengthening, nerve retraining, and improved circulation — all without the need for invasive procedures or daily exercises.

A personal note from one of our owners, Heidi, PT:
I am nearing 50 and lately, when I speak at public events, I introduce myself like this: “My name is Heidi Fedoruk, and I pee when I sneeze.” It gets a laugh, for sure, but is incontinence really a laughing matter? I had two c-sections so I erroneously thought that this meant I would avoid pelvic health issues down the line. I was wrong. I am a physical therapist, but I was not trained in the pelvic health specialty like my colleagues, so I didn’t know this: As we age, and as our estrogen levels decrease, pelvic health weakness can be a thing, whether you have birthed babies or not. This is Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause or GSM: a group of symptoms and physical changes affecting the vulva, vagina, urethra, and bladder due to decreased estrogen levels in perimenopause and beyond. I had a mild prolapse and scored “moderate” on the Incontinence Outcome Measure called the ICIQ-SF.
When we bought the Emsella, I used it as a clinical trial (aka guinea pig) and I can honestly report that it has helped improve my quality of life. I was skeptical. I did not notice much change until well after the fourth visit. I think maybe because I had to space them out more due to travel, it took me longer to notice any changes- I imagine just like going to the gym (which I should also do more of). Anyway, after my sixth visit, I did a pee trial during a golf game. I would normally pee every single available rest break on a course, lest I get a full enough bladder that I leak during one of my Enormous and Powerful drives 🙂 But last week, I went to the bathroom before I left home, and then not until I got home 9 holes and 3 hours later. On a full bladder, I jumped up and down and coughed- NO LEAKS!!! No leaking AND I was able to hold my pee like a normal person on the golf course. I re-scored the ICIQ-SF and I am now in the “light” category. It might not work for everyone, and there is certainly no guarantee, which can be daunting. It is certainly an investment, but for me, it has been worth it for sure. I must admit, I have spent more on shoes, and really, how can you put a price tag on not peeing your pants when you sneeze and laugh?!
