What if the conventional recommendation for initial swelling only puts a lid on the symptoms, instead of addressing the cause at a cellular level...
A carefree laugh, a spontaneous sprint, or lifting a bag – for many people, these everyday moments are associated with uncertainty. Incontinence is an issue that can significantly limit quality of life, yet it is often kept silent due to shame. Traditional therapy approaches require discipline and time, which are often lacking in modern life. But what if there was a scientifically based method that trains the pelvic floor specifically and with maximum efficiency? The innovative Emsella chair represents precisely this technological advance.
This advanced treatment uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to trigger thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions – a level of intensity unattainable through traditional exercises. The result is profound muscle strengthening that not only restores bladder control but can also positively impact core stability and sexual sensation. All of this is achieved fully clothed, without surgery, and with no downtime.
In this article, learn how the technology behind the EMSella chair works at our Winterthur practice and why it presents an uncompromising alternative to lengthy physiotherapy. We explain the treatment process, the scientific principles of action, and how you can regain control and confidence in your body in just a few sessions – for a life filled with vitality and self-assurance.
The EMSella chair represents an advanced, non-invasive method for targeted strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles. It is a scientifically validated procedure based on high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to restore neuromuscular control. At VIGORY Center Winterthur, we rely on this technology because it combines uncompromising efficiency with absolute discretion: the treatment is performed fully clothed and in a relaxed sitting position.
The «magic formula» lies in the induction of so-called supramaximal contractions. These are muscle contractions of an intensity that cannot be achieved through voluntary exertion, such as in traditional Kegel exercises. This profound stimulation restructures the musculature and restores its original strength and function. As such, it offers Emsella chair A solution for diverse target groups – from mothers after childbirth, to athletes, to men with prostate complaints.
HIFEM technology generates a focused electromagnetic field that penetrates deep into the pelvic floor muscles, inducing thousands of supramaximal contractions. A single 30-minute session on the EMSella chair is equivalent to over 11,000 Kegel exercises. The key advantage: HIFEM energy bypasses brain control and targets motor nerves directly. This allows for muscle stimulation at a cellular level, far exceeding what is voluntarily possible, leading to lasting strengthening.
While the treatment of incontinence is a core indication, the potential of the EMSella chair is far greater. It represents a modern evolution of the classic Pelvic floor therapy addresses a variety of complaints and needs that are attributable to a weakened pelvic floor.
Classic pelvic floor training is the traditional answer to incontinence and pelvic floor weakness. However, reality shows that manual exercises quickly reach their limits. Fatigue, imprecise execution, and the significant time commitment often lead to frustration rather than results. For the modern lifestyle in Winterthur, which is focused on efficiency and measurable success, the question therefore arises: what is a superior alternative?.
The answer lies in technological precision. While conventional training often takes months to feel initial improvements, the Emsella Chair An intensity that is manually unattainable. In a single 28-minute session, thousands of supramaximal contractions are triggered – a feat equivalent to over 11,000 Kegel exercises. This is achieved completely effortlessly and clothed, while you relax sitting down.
The success of Kegel exercises depends on perfect technique and iron discipline. Both are rare commodities in practice. The most common hurdles are:

Innovative technologies often lead to misunderstandings. To provide you with a solid basis for an informed decision, we debunk the most common myths surrounding pelvic floor therapy with the EMSella chair and highlight the scientific facts.
Myth 1: «This is only for older people.»
The reality in Winterthur and across Switzerland presents a different picture. A strong pelvic floor is not a question of age, but of quality of life and prevention. Young mothers after childbirth, performance-oriented athletes, and men who want to proactively protect their potency and continence use the technology to optimise their body's functionality long before problems become apparent.
Myth 2: «The treatment is painful.»
The fact is: the treatment is intensive, but not painful. You will feel strong, supramaximal contractions of the pelvic floor muscles – a sensation that cannot be achieved through active training. Pain does not occur. You remain fully clothed and can relax during the 28-minute session.
Myth 3: «Operations are the only permanent solution.»
Surgical procedures are invasive, carry risks, and require long recovery times. The Emsella Chair offers a highly effective, non-invasive alternative based on scientifically validated HIFEM technology. Thousands of muscle contractions per session systematically rebuild the neuromuscular control and strength of the pelvic floor – without a single incision.
The application is designed on a walk-in, walk-out principle: you come for treatment and then immediately return to your usual activities. However, clarification of contraindications is essential. Individuals with the following conditions should not undergo treatment:

The costs for an EMSella treatment at Vigory are transparent and based on an individual treatment plan. A single session for targeted pelvic floor strengthening starts at CHF 250. For optimal and sustainable results, we generally recommend a course package of six to eight sessions, for which we offer attractive conditions. The exact costs will be determined in a personal consultation based on your goals and indication.
Treatment with the EMSella chair is considered a preventive and aesthetic service in Switzerland and is therefore generally not covered by basic insurance. Some supplementary insurance policies may contribute to the costs within the framework of a prevention or health account. We recommend proactively clarifying the possibility of cost sharing directly with your health insurance provider before treatment begins.
A scientifically based treatment cycle typically includes six to eight sessions, ideally taking place twice a week. This frequency allows for optimal neuromuscular adaptation and the sustainable building of the pelvic floor muscles. The exact number of necessary sessions with the Emsella Chair will be defined based on your individual constitution and objectives during your initial consultation with us in Winterthur.
Yes, absolutely. A strong pelvic floor is just as essential for male health. The EMSella treatment is a highly effective method for treating incontinence, particularly after prostate surgery, as well as for improving erectile function and general core stability. The training targets the deep-lying muscles that are central to continence and potency, thus representing an advanced solution for men of all ages.
The treatment is non-invasive and painless. You will only feel intense, but well-tolerated, muscle contractions and a slight tingling sensation in the pelvic floor area. There is no downtime or known side effects; you can resume your usual activities immediately after the 28-minute session. The technology is based on focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) and is considered an extremely safe and proven procedure.
Many of our clients report a noticeable improvement in muscle control and a reduction in symptoms after just the first two to three sessions. Neuromuscular activation is gradually optimised. Full, sustainable results typically manifest a few weeks after the completion of the entire treatment cycle, as the body needs time for physiological adaptation and muscle building.
We recommend waiting to start the EMSella treatment until the postnatal period has completely concluded and the gynaecological check-up (usually six to eight weeks after childbirth) has taken place. Physical recovery is the top priority. Once approved by your doctor, the treatment is an excellent method for effectively and gently rebuilding the pelvic floor muscles weakened by pregnancy and childbirth.
For your treatment at Vigory, you do not need to bring anything special. The application is done fully clothed while you are comfortably seated in the chair. We only recommend wearing loose and comfortable clothing to ensure maximum comfort during the session. Please remove metallic items such as belts or jewellery from the treatment area, as the technology is based on magnetic fields.
