Your Pelvic Floor Impacts WAY More Than You Think.

No. You remain fully clothed during the session.

Most people describe it as intense muscle contractions, but not painful.

Sessions typically last about 30 minutes.

At The Root Chakra, we use the PelvicCure PulseMagnet Pelvic System, which generates controlled magnetic fields that penetrate through clothing and tissue. These magnetic fields induce electrical activity in the nerves and muscles of the pelvic region, causing repeated pelvic floor muscle contractions.

Think of it as an assisted pelvic floor workout: the device stimulates muscles that can be difficult to consciously identify, contract, and train on your own.

The PelvicCure PulseMagnet Pelvic System uses high-intensity magnetic stimulation rather than electrodes placed directly on the body. You simply sit on the ergonomically designed PelvicCure seat, fully clothed, while the system stimulates the pelvic floor and associated neuromuscular structures.

According to PelvicCure, the system can generate magnetic field intensities of up to 5 Tesla, with a stated stimulation depth of up to 20 cm and treatment-plane diameter of approximately 30 cm.

The device produces rapidly changing magnetic fields that pass through clothing and into the body.

These magnetic fields induce small electrical currents within the targeted tissues, stimulating nerves that cause the pelvic floor muscles to contract.

Rather than asking you to repeatedly perform voluntary Kegel exercises, PelvicCure produces involuntary muscle contractions during the session.

Repeated stimulation is intended to exercise the pelvic floor muscles and improve neuromuscular recruitment and control.

You'll feel your pelvic floor muscles repeatedly contracting and relaxing underneath you.

The sensation can feel unusual at first—almost like a deep pulsing, tightening, or lifting sensation—but it should not be painful.

The intensity can be adjusted based on your comfort level and gradually increased as you become accustomed to the sensation.

Chronic straining and prolonged pressure during bowel movements are major contributors to hemorrhoid problems.

When poor pelvic floor function 

contributes to inefficient elimination and repeated straining, addressing pelvic floor function may be one useful part of a broader strategy for reducing that pressure.

Existing hemorrhoids—particularly painful, bleeding, thrombosed, or persistent hemorrhoids—should be evaluated appropriately.

Yes—the pelvic floor is an important component of your deep core system.

Your pelvic floor works together with structures including your diaphragm, deep abdominal muscles, and spinal stabilizers to manage pressure and stabilize the trunk.

Training the pelvic floor can therefore be one component of improving overall core function and pelvic stability.

It isn't a replacement for comprehensive strength training, but it can help target an area many people have difficulty consciously activating.

The pelvic floor is part of the body's lumbopelvic stabilization system, so pelvic floor function and core stability are interconnected.

For some people, pelvic floor rehabilitation may complement a broader program addressing core stability and low-back function.

However, back pain and herniated discs have many possible causes. This should not be presented as a treatment for a herniated disc or assumed to correct the underlying cause of back pain.

Pelvic floor rehabilitation can be particularly valuable after pregnancy and childbirth because pregnancy itself—and vaginal delivery in particular—can place considerable stress on the pelvic floor.

EMS Pelvic Floor Therapy may be an option once you've sufficiently recovered and have been cleared for pelvic floor exercise.

If you've recently given birth, experienced significant tearing, had a C-section, have ongoing bleeding, pain, prolapse symptoms, or experienced other complications, speak with your OB/GYN, midwife, or pelvic floor physical therapist before beginning.

For your comfort, we recommend scheduling your session before your period begins or after your menstrual bleeding has ended. EMS produces repeated, strong contractions throughout the pelvic floor. This stimulation may make the session feel more uncomfortable.

No.

Men have pelvic floors too!

Pelvic floor muscles contribute to urinary and bowel control, pelvic stability, and sexual function in both men and women.

Pelvic floor rehabilitation is also sometimes incorporated into care for men experiencing urinary control problems or recovering from certain prostate procedures.

Men with prostate, urinary, sexual, or pelvic pain concerns should first have those symptoms appropriately evaluated.

PelvicCure does not treat prostate disease itself.

However, pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation is sometimes used as part of recovery following prostate surgery, particularly when urinary continence has been affected.

Anyone with an active prostate condition or who has recently undergone prostate surgery should discuss pelvic floor exercise with their healthcare provider before beginning.

The pelvic floor muscles contribute to sexual function in both women and men.

Improving pelvic floor muscle strength, awareness, and neuromuscular control may support aspects of sexual wellness for some people.

Sexual dysfunction can have hormonal, neurological, vascular, psychological, medication-related, and other causes, so EMS Pelvic Floor Therapy should not be considered for every sexual concern.

Not exactly.

Kegels are voluntary contractions: you identify your pelvic floor muscles and consciously contract and relax them.

EMS Pelvic Floor Therapy uses magnetic stimulation to trigger involuntary contractions of the targeted muscles.

This can be especially useful for people who have difficulty identifying or effectively engaging their pelvic floor.

Kegels also aren't appropriate for everyone. Someone with an excessively tight or overactive pelvic floor may actually need to learn how to relax those muscles rather than repeatedly contract them.

EMS Pelvic Floor Therapy isn’t meant to replace pelvic floor exercises or pelvic floor physical therapy.

Ideally, improving pelvic health involves learning how to contract, relax, coordinate, and use these muscles during everyday activities.

This can be one tool within that bigger picture.

There isn't one universal number of sessions that's right for everyone.

Pelvic floor strength, symptoms, age, childbirth history, underlying conditions, and individual goals all influence how someone responds.

Because muscles adapt through repeated training rather than a single workout, a series of sessions is generally more appropriate when the goal is improving strength or neuromuscular control.

Some people may notice changes relatively quickly, while others may require more time and complementary pelvic floor exercises.

Sessions are generally scheduled as a series rather than all at once so the muscles have repeated opportunities for stimulation and adaptation.

Your ideal frequency depends on your goals.

We generally recommend starting with 2 sessions a week for the first 4 weeks.

Because EMS generates a powerful magnetic field, it isn't appropriate for everyone.

Contraindications and precautions may include certain implanted electronic or metallic medical devices, pregnancy, and particular medical or surgical circumstances.

Always tell us before your session if you have a pacemaker, implanted defibrillator, neurostimulator, insulin pump, cochlear implant, metal implant in or near the treatment area, IUD, are pregnant or may be pregnant, recently had surgery, or have another implanted medical device.

When there's any uncertainty, we'll ask you to obtain clearance from the appropriate healthcare professional or device manufacturer before proceeding.

Because pooping is a pelvic floor activity.

You can drink water, take magnesium, eat fiber, change your diet, and work on your gut—but ultimately, stool still has to exit through a complex muscular system.

For some people, the missing piece isn't another supplement.

It's learning to better support and coordinate the muscles involved in elimination.

That's why pelvic floor health belongs in the poop conversation.
