Client Testimonial
“I am a 61 year old woman who had two children, naturally, with very quick labours both times. Over the years I knew that when it was “time to go” I needed to head to the washroom right away. By the time I got there, sometimes leakage had occurred. Not a lot, not all the time. But enough to make me self-conscious.
My first session on the chair was interesting. It isn’t uncomfortable, but it is an odd feeling. Like someone is knocking on the chair underneath you with an awareness inside your upper lady parts. But it does not hurt and you are in charge of how much you feel as you can turn the intensity up or down. After the treatment I immediately noticed that when I needed to go to the washroom it was just that. It was time to consider heading to the washroom. And the next morning I realized that it was the first time in a long time that I hadn’t needed to get up in the middle of the night to pee. The day after treatment I was amazed at how full my bladder was. Not being silly, it felt like the bladder of my youth. Very full with no worry of loss of control. And I mean VERY full. Like “wow this is full, am I ever going to stop peeing” full.
I had my second session two days later and turned up the intensity of the machine. Same sensations, louder knocking sounds with the higher intensity. The after effect was an improvement on the first. It gave me more confidence that I wasn’t going to have to race to the washroom. I could do a slow saunter down the hallway, with a little dance that said to my bladder “I’m in charge now”. A happy dance if you will.
For assurance, I had a third treatment three days later. Up went the intensity again and still no pain or discomfort. And more confidence in my body.
I had done my homework on this chair and know that the recommended treatment is six sessions with a follow up six months later. Given that I had mild symptoms I feel like I am good at three. And two weeks later I still feel like three is good. I can control my stream, I can do kegels. I can control my stream while I do kegels. And I will go back in six months for a follow up treatment. And six months after that. For as long as I need to as I don’t want the invasiveness of surgery nor do I want to deal with “leak protectors”.
I highly recommend this chair to every woman who experiences even mild bladder leakage. It brings back your confidence, and in a strange way helps you not feel like you are living in a rapidly aging body but an age appropriate body.”

FAQs
Have questions about Emsella in Parksville? You’re not alone—many people want to know how it works, what to expect, and how it can improve pelvic floor health. Below, we’ve answered the most frequently asked questions to help you feel informed before your first consultation and treatment.
Who is Emsella for?
Emsella in Parksville is an effective, non-invasive solution for women and men struggling with pelvic floor weakness or urinary incontinence. This breakthrough treatment is ideal for women experiencing bladder leakage after childbirth or menopause, men dealing with incontinence following prostate procedures, and anyone looking to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles without surgery or downtime. Emsella is also recommended for improving core stability and enhancing intimate wellness. While Emsella is a safe, comfortable treatment for pelvic floor health in Parksville, it isn’t recommended for individuals with pacemakers or metal implants in the pelvic area.
Is squeezing your pelvic floor the same as a kegel?
Yes—squeezing your pelvic floor muscles is essentially the same as doing a Kegel exercise. A Kegel involves contracting and lifting the pelvic floor muscles to build strength over time. However, squeezing your glutes or inner thighs is not the same as doing a Kegel and is often a sign of compensating for a weak pelvic floor. Many people unknowingly activate the wrong muscles, which is why treatments like Emsella in Parksville are so effective—delivering the equivalent of 11,000 Kegels in a single 28-minute session to target the pelvic floor directly, without guesswork.
Is the Emsella chair painful?
No—the Emsella chair is not painful. Most patients in Parksville describe the sensation as a mild tingling or pelvic floor muscle contractions during treatment, but it’s not uncomfortable. You remain fully clothed and seated for the 28-minute session, with no downtime or recovery needed afterward. The intensity can be adjusted to your comfort level, making Emsella a safe, well-tolerated option for pelvic floor therapy.
How much does Emsella cost?
The cost of Emsella treatments varies based on your provider, but you can typically expect to pay between $200 and $330 per Emsella session in Canada, with full treatment packages (usually six sessions) ranging from $1,000 to $3,000. For specific Emsella pricing at Parksville Wellness Collective, please book your complimentary consultation.
How many Emsella sessions will I need?
Most patients undergoing Emsella treatment in Parksville will need a series of six sessions, typically scheduled twice a week over three weeks, to achieve optimal results. Some individuals may benefit from additional maintenance sessions every few months, depending on their pelvic floor strength and treatment goals. Your provider will recommend a personalized plan based on your needs and progress.
What is the downside to Emsella?
While Emsella is a safe, non-invasive treatment available in Parksville, BC, it’s important to be aware of a few potential limitations:
Not a cure-all – Best suited for mild to moderate urinary incontinence and pelvic floor weakness; may be less effective for severe cases or conditions requiring surgical treatment.
Multiple sessions required – Typically involves 6 initial sessions (about 2 per week), with periodic maintenance treatments needed to sustain results.
Temporary muscle fatigue – Some patients experience mild muscle soreness or pelvic fatigue after treatment, similar to the feeling after an intense workout.
Not suitable for everyone – Contraindicated for individuals with metal implants in the pelvic area, pacemakers, or certain neurological conditions.
Results vary – Individual outcomes depend on factors like baseline muscle tone, age, and symptom severity; not all patients experience the same level of improvement.
