Pelvic Floor Therapy in Pleasant Grove

Emstrong Pelvic Floor Chair

Thousands of pelvic floor contractions—without doing a single Kegel

Leak when you laugh, cough, jump, or run? Always know where the nearest bathroom is? Feel like your core and pelvic floor never really bounced back after kids, surgery, or age?

You’re not alone—and you’re not stuck.

The Emstrong pelvic floor chair is our non-invasive way to strengthen and retrain the pelvic floor for rapid:

• Bladder leaks (stress, urge, and mixed incontinence)
• Postpartum pelvic changes
• Pelvic floor weakness and poor core support
• Some types of bowel incontinence
• Sexual function concerns tied to pelvic floor strength and control

You sit (fully clothed) on the chair, and in about 30 minutes, it delivers thousands of powerful pelvic floor contractions for you—far more than you could do on your own.

We use Emstrong as both a rehab tool and a performance/quality-of-life tool for women and men.

How Emstrong works (in human language)

Emstrong uses High-Intensity Concentrated Magnetic Muscle Training (HICMMT) technology—a form of deeply penetrating, focused electromagnetic muscle training designed specifically for the pelvic floor.

During a session:

• You sit comfortably, fully clothed, on the Emstrong chair.
• The magnetic field is concentrated in the deep pelvic floor muscles.
• It triggers rapid, intense, rhythmic contractions—much more than typical Kegels and far more consistent.
• Over a series of treatments, those contractions help strengthen the muscles and improve neuromuscular control (how well your brain and pelvic floor talk to each other).

In simple terms: Emstrong puts your pelvic floor through an intense, targeted workout—without you having to guess whether you’re contracting the right muscles.

Why do we use Emstrong as a serious rehab tool?

We use Emstrong as a high-level clinical tool because it solves a very real rehab problem:

• Many people can’t feel or fire their pelvic floor well enough to make traditional exercises work.
• Pain, pregnancy, surgery, aging, or nerve changes can all create weakness and delayed activation.
• Even if you know how to do a Kegel, it’s hard to reproduce thousands of good, strong contractions

With Emstrong:

• The chair delivers high-intensity, precisely targeted training for you.
• You get a massive number of contractions in a short period.
• We can then layer on simple exercises and movement strategies so your body learns to use that new strength in daily life.

How we use Emstrong in a rehab setting

1. Urinary incontinence

We use Emstrong to help with:

• Stress incontinence – leaking with coughing, sneezing, jumping, lifting
• Urge incontinence – strong, sudden urges and difficulty making it in time
• Mixed incontinence – a combo of stress and urge

By rapidly strengthening the pelvic floor and improving control, many people notice:

• Fewer leaks
• Less urgency
• More ability to hold it and get to the bathroom on time

We tie Emstrong in with education on bladder habits, fluid timing, and movement strategies so the improvements translate into real life.

2. Postpartum and core support

Pregnancy and delivery are a massive event for the pelvic floor and core. Emstrong can help:

• Rebuild pelvic floor strength and endurance after childbirth
• Support recovery from core weakness and abdominal separation when paired with our EMS body sculpting and core rehab
• Improve confidence with coughing, sneezing, lifting, running, and jumping

We often combine Emstrong with:

• Gentle pelvic and core exercises
• Breathing and pressure-management strategies
• Other treatments (like shockwave or EMTT) if there’s pain, scar tissue, or overactive pelvic floor muscles

3. Male pelvic health

Men have pelvic floors too—and they’re just as important.

We use Emstrong with men who are dealing with:

• Urinary leakage (after prostate procedures, with aging, or after injury)
• Frequent nighttime urination and urgency
• Some types of bowel incontinence are linked to pelvic floor weakness
• Pelvic floor factors contributing to sexual function issues (as part of a broader plan)

For a lot of men, the idea of “pelvic floor therapy” feels awkward. Sitting fully clothed on a chair and letting HICMMT technology do the work is a much easier starting point.

4. Bowel control and support

When appropriate, Emstrong can support:

• Better closing strength and endurance of the pelvic floor
• Improved control in cases of mild to moderate bowel leakage or urgency

We combine this with:

• Coordination training (learning to relax and contract at the correct times)
• Lifestyle and bowel habit strategies in coordination with your medical provider
• Core and hip strengthening where needed

5. Sexual function & pelvic confidence

Because a stronger, more responsive pelvic floor can improve support, blood flow, and muscle control, Emstrong often has side benefits for:

• Comfort and confidence with intimacy
• The feeling of strength and tone in the pelvic area
• Reducing anxiety around leaking or urgency during intimate moments

Many people also report improved satisfaction with intimacy as they feel more in control of their bodies and less distracted by symptoms.

We don’t oversell or promise specific outcomes here—but for many people, feeling more in control of their pelvic floor naturally spills over into this part of life.

What an Emstrong session is like

A typical session is discreet and straightforward:

1. You sit on the Emstrong chair, fully clothed.
2. We position you so the magnetic field is centered on the pelvic floor.
3. The session runs about 30 minutes.
4. You feel strong, rhythmic “lifting and squeezing” sensations deep in the pelvis—like very intense Kegels happening automatically.

You can:

• Sit and relax
• Talk with us
• Listen to something or just chill

There’s no downtime—no needles, no internal devices, no anesthesia. When it’s done, you stand up and continue your day.

How Emstrong fits into your overall pelvic rehab

Emstrong works best as a key part of a comprehensive pelvic plan, not as the only thing you ever do.

We typically integrate it with:

• Gentle to advanced pelvic floor and core exercises
• Hip and spine strengthening
• Shockwave and/or EMTT for pain, muscle overactivity, or scar tissue when appropriate
• Manual therapy for hips, low back, and pelvis if alignment or stiffness is part of the picture
• Education on breathing, posture, lifting strategies, and bladder/bowel habits

The goal is always the same: less leaking, better control, more confidence, and more freedom in everyday life.

Does insurance cover Emstrong?

Right now, pelvic floor chairs that use high-intensity magnetic muscle training like Emstrong are generally treated as cash-pay services:

• Insurance companies tend to lag behind new technologies.
• Even when research is promising, there often isn’t a specific code or coverage policy yet.

We:

• Are upfront about pricing
• Help you decide how to blend Emstrong with your insurance-based PT if you’re doing both
• Keep the focus on long-term value—fewer leaks, fewer pads, more confidence, and less “bathroom planning” running your life

Many patients find that investing in a focused series of Emstrong sessions ends up costing less in the long run than years of copays, supplies, and stress.

Safety & who Emstrong is not for

Emstrong is non-invasive and generally very well tolerated. But some people should not use HICMMT technology.

You may not be a candidate if you:

• Have a pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, or certain other electronic implants
• Have specific metal implants or hardware in the treatment area that are not safe around strong magnetic fields
• Are pregnant
• Have certain active pelvic cancers or other conditions where strong electromagnetic fields aren’t appropriate

We’ll go through a thorough screening before starting and coordinate with your physician if there’s any doubt.

Ready to let the chair do the Kegels for you?

If you’re tired of crossing your legs when you cough, mapping every bathroom in town, or feeling like your pelvic floor never got back online after pregnancy, surgery, or aging—

Schedule an Emstrong pelvic floor evaluation at Timpanogos Physical Therapy, and we’ll:

• Take a close look at your bladder, bowel, pelvic, and core symptoms
• Make sure Emstrong and HICMMT technology are safe and appropriate for you
• Build a plan that combines Emstrong with smart, practical pelvic rehab

So you’re not just “trying harder” to squeeze the right muscles—you’re finally giving your pelvic floor the kind of focused, practical training it’s been missing.
