What’s going on when the pelvic floor feels weak?
If you’re dealing with leaks when you laugh, a sudden urge to run to the restroom, pressure “down there,” or changes after pregnancy, you’re not alone. The pelvic floor is a hammock of muscles that supports the bladder, uterus/prostate, and bowel. When these muscles underwork—or overwork and become tight—symptoms can show up as urgency, frequency, stress incontinence (leaks with coughing or lifting), pelvic heaviness, or discomfort with daily movement.
Why it happens
Life puts the pelvic floor through a lot. Common contributors include pregnancy and postpartum recovery, hormonal shifts, high-impact exercise, prolonged sitting, constipation, chronic coughing, core weakness, and even stress-driven clenching. Over time, the coordination between the diaphragm, deep abdominals, and pelvic floor can get out of sync, making the muscles less responsive when you need them most.
Meet the pelvic floor chair
The pelvic floor chair is a non-invasive, fully clothed session where you sit comfortably while high-intensity electromagnetic technology rapidly contracts and relaxes the pelvic floor—far faster than traditional exercises can. Think of it as a guided workout for hard-to-reach muscles. Most sessions feel like firm tapping and lifting sensations. There’s no downtime, so you can get back to work, errands, or the gym right away.
Who may benefit
-
Mild to moderate urinary urgency or stress leaks
-
Postpartum core and pelvic support
-
Perimenopausal changes impacting pelvic tone
-
Desk-bound professionals with weak glutes/core
-
Athletes seeking better core-to-pelvic coordination
-
Men with pelvic floor deconditioning impacting support and control
(If you have active infections, metal implants in the treatment area, or other medical concerns, we’ll review your health history first to ensure the pelvic floor chair is a good fit.)
What non-invasive options exist?
Pelvic health thrives with a layered approach. Alongside the pelvic floor chair, we often recommend:
-
Breath-to-core retraining: Coordinating diaphragm, deep abdominals, and pelvic floor with simple at-home drills.
-
Posture and mobility tweaks: Small changes in sitting and hip mobility can reduce pressure on the pelvic floor.
-
Lifestyle supports: Hydration timing, gentle fiber strategies, and bladder training to calm urgency patterns.
-
Manual or movement-based pelvic therapy referrals: When additional hands-on care would help.
-
Core/hip stability work: Targeted glute and adductor activation to share the workload with the pelvic floor.
