Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation2026-03-14T03:50:26+00:00

Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

Pelvic floor rehabilitation can help improve bladder and bowel control, reducing symptoms such as leakage, urgency, and frequency. It is often recommended for pelvic pain, discomfort with intercourse, and recovery after childbirth, prostate procedures, or other pelvic surgeries.
A healthy pelvic floor is also essential for sexual function, supporting arousal, sensation, and orgasm while reducing pain and performance concerns. Strengthening and retraining these muscles can enhance confidence, comfort, and overall quality of life.

Can this help with sexual function?2026-03-14T03:37:00+00:00

Recent studies have suggested that sexual function improves with HIFEM treatment. For men, this means improved erectile function, stronger ejaculations, and increased sexual satisfaction. Women may find treatment enhances orgasm frequency, sexual desire, and overall sexual satisfaction.

Does this treatment work for men as well?2026-03-14T03:36:43+00:00

HIFEM has been shown to be effective for men as well! We are pleased to offer this treatment to men who have had prostate cancer and are struggling with urinary incontinence. In addition, men with other conditions causing urinary incontinence may benefit from treatment. A recent study showed that after HIFEM, 75% of men with post prostate cancer incontinence had an improvement, and 45% of men were dry.

Do I still need to do Kegel exercises?2026-03-14T03:36:23+00:00

Doing kegel exercises is great, and can complement the HIFEM treatment. Randomised clinical trials have shown that HIFEM treatment works just as well as pelvic floor exercises.
What is different about HIFEM is that it offers a way to get the benefit of Kegel exercises quickly, and is perfect for people who have trouble doing kegels, finding the time to do them, or remembering to do them!

Does it actually work?2026-03-14T03:34:53+00:00

The short answer is yes! As a specialized clinic, we believe in offering treatments with clinical studies supporting their use. But don’t take our word for it. This study looked at all the different studies available on HIFEM, and found that this treatment reduces urinary leakage, and improves urinary symptoms and people’s quality of life.

How do you get the treatments?2026-03-14T03:34:36+00:00

You will first attend an appointment to meet with clinic staff who will obtain some background information. You will be able to try the FREEDOM+ vitality seat, and decide if it is the right option for you. The full treatment usually lasts for 30 minutes, and normally you would attend 6 treatments over the course of 3-6 weeks. It simply involves sitting in the chair, reading a book, listening to music or streaming on your phone! You are not required to undergo any invasive exams, and you remain fully clothed for the treatments. You have control over the stimulation strength to ensure a personalized experience.

What device do you use?2026-03-14T03:34:17+00:00

We have carefully selected the FREEDOM+™ Integrative Solution with the Vitality seat. This is the newest option for delivering strengthening contractions to the pelvic floor in order to reduce urinary incontinence. It has one the strongest magnets available for HIFEM (3.8 Tesla) and it can deliver 25,000 supramaximal pelvic floor contractions in 30 minutes!

What is it?2026-03-13T20:04:33+00:00
  • High intensity focused electromagnetic stimulation (sometimes called HIFEM) uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy to stimulate and strengthen the muscles that support the bladder, uterus, and bowel. The treatment triggers thousands of deep muscle contractions in a single session — far more than you can achieve with Kegel exercises alone.
  • It can help improve bladder control, reduce leaks, enhance core stability, and improve intimate wellness. Treatments are non-invasive, done fully clothed, and require no downtime.
