At House of Healing Integrative Medical Center in Torrance, we understand the silent struggle of bladder control issues.

Dr. Stephanie Abrams and her team understand that these symptoms can impact your confidence and daily life. Here, you’ll find a compassionate environment where you’re not dismissed or rushed. Together, we’ll explore solutions that fit your body, your goals, and your journey toward healing.

Emsella® is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy to stimulate and strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, the same muscles responsible for bladder control and core support. During treatment, patients remain fully clothed while the device delivers thousands of powerful muscle contractions in a single session, something impossible to achieve through traditional exercises alone.
Emsella® is especially beneficial for patients with urinary incontinence, pelvic floor weakness, or pelvic instability, including those with hEDS, who often experience tissue laxity and reduced muscle tone that contribute to these symptoms.
Your treatment begins in the comfort of one of our private therapy rooms. You’ll sit fully clothed on the ergonomic Emsella® chair as it delivers focused electromagnetic pulses to your pelvic floor. You may feel a tingling or gentle lifting sensation as your muscles contract repeatedly, similar to performing hundreds of Kegel exercises in just half an hour. A typical course of treatment includes six sessions, scheduled twice weekly. There’s no pain, no invasive procedure, and no recovery period.
Many patients report noticeable improvement after just one or two sessions, with continued strengthening over time. A typical course of treatment includes six sessions, scheduled twice weekly. There’s no pain, no invasive procedure, and no recovery period.
Emsella® is designed to help individuals who experience:
For patients with hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, these issues are often linked to joint and connective tissue laxity. Strengthening the pelvic floor can help reduce strain, improve bladder control, and support overall stability.
Emsella® offers both physical and emotional relief for patients who’ve quietly coped with incontinence or pelvic discomfort. Many report improved confidence, comfort, and connection to their bodies.
Key benefits include:
Emsella® may be right for you if you experience bladder leakage, urgency, or pelvic weakness, whether from childbirth, menopause, aging, or connective tissue conditions like hEDS. The treatment is suitable for most patients and is an excellent option for those seeking a non-surgical and medication-free option.
Patients who are pregnant, have metal implants near the treatment area, or have active electronic implants (such as pacemakers) should avoid Emsella®. Dr. Abrams will review your medical history to ensure Emsella® is a safe and effective choice for you.
There’s no recovery time required after Emsella®. You can resume normal activities immediately. Most patients experience mild muscle soreness similar to a workout, which resolves quickly. For best results, Dr. Abrams will discuss ways to maintain pelvic health between sessions, including supportive exercises and lifestyle recommendations.
Many patients report noticeable improvement after their first or second session, with continued progress throughout the full treatment series. Results typically continue to strengthen over several weeks as the muscles adapt and rebuild.
While individual outcomes vary, most patients enjoy long-lasting improvements in bladder control, comfort, and confidence, with maintenance sessions available as needed.
At House of Healing in Torrance, Dr. Stephanie Abrams and her team provide compassionate, evidence-based care in a space designed to help you feel at home. As both a physician and a patient who understands chronic and connective tissue conditions, Dr. Abrams brings empathy and clinical expertise to every treatment.
