Emsella Chair Exposed: What Your OB Won’t Tell You About Bladder Leakage

If you’ve been struggling with bladder leakage and your OB has suggested the Emsella chair—also known as the “Kegel Throne”—you might want to think twice before investing in it.

In this episode, I break down what the Emsella chair actually does, how much it costs, and why I, as a pelvic floor physical therapist, don’t recommend it to my patients. While it promises to strengthen your pelvic floor using electromagnetic stimulation, the real question is: does it treat the root cause of bladder leakage, or is it just a temporary band-aid? Many OBs and urologists have financial ties to these machines, and that’s something you should know before making a decision. Instead of relying on a passive, high-cost treatment, I’ll share functional, long-term solutions that actually work.

So what should you do instead? If you’re dealing with stress incontinence when you run, jump, sneeze, or laugh, or if you experience pain with sex or prolapse, the best approach is targeted pelvic floor retraining. In this episode, I’ll walk you through the most effective ways to regain control—without wasting money on a quick-fix machine. Whether your doctor has already recommended the Emsella chair or you’re just starting your search for real solutions, this episode is a must-listen. Plus, I’ll introduce my step-by-step online program, Stop Peeing Your Pants, designed to help you take back your confidence and live leak-free!

I would love to invite you to my course ⁠Stop Peeing Your Pants , where you can get rid of this problem all together, and become leak-free in 90 days or less! We really shouldn’t have an issue with holding our bladder and there is always a deeper cause. For example, when I was dealing with urge incontinence, my root cause was the food/drinks that were in my diet because there were so many bladder irritants I was consuming. I lead you through all of this, the education, workouts, and have a plan on a calendar, a 1:1 session with me, private facebook group for Q & A’s! Check out both tier options below!
