Kegel Chair
Kegel chair therapy is a non-invasive medical treatment that uses high-intensity electromagnetic energy to stimulate thousands of deep pelvic floor muscle contractions in a single 30-minute session. By forcing these supramaximal contractions while you sit fully clothed, this technology restores neuromuscular control and builds core strength much faster than traditional manual exercises.
The Mom Loft provides Kegel chair therapy in Toronto to help you stop urinary leaks and rapidly rebuild pelvic strength. Call 844-666-5638 today to book your free 10-minute Kegel chair demo at our clinic.
How does a Kegel chair work?
The science behind this treatment relies on High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) and Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields (PEMF). When you sit on the device, these targeted energy waves penetrate the pelvic floor to trigger the motor neurons directly. This induces involuntary muscle contractions at a rapid pace.
Patients typically experience a mild tingling sensation and intense, rhythmic muscle twitches during the workout. The procedure requires no anesthesia, causes no pain, and eliminates the need to undress. Many patients wonder why this is necessary if they can perform Kegel exercises at home.
Traditional Kegels often fail for several reasons. Many individuals inadvertently isolate the wrong muscles, or they lack the neuromuscular awareness required to contract severely weakened tissues effectively. Furthermore, human effort cannot match the sheer intensity and volume of contractions generated by electromagnetic stimulation. The chair bypasses the need for conscious muscle control entirely.

- Rapid Results: Most patients report significant improvements in bladder control and pelvic strength within three to four weeks.
What conditions does Kegel chair therapy treat?
By restoring the structural integrity of the pelvic floor, electromagnetic therapy resolves a wide spectrum of clinical issues for both men and women.
For Women
Urinary Incontinence: Effectively treats stress, urge, and mixed incontinence. This includes eliminating "Pee-zing" (leaking when coughing, sneezing, or jumping) and nocturia (the need to wake up frequently at night to urinate). Postpartum Recovery: Rapidly restores muscle laxity following childbirth. Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Strengthens the muscular hammock to support prolapsed organs, including the bladder (cystocele), rectum (rectocele), and uterus. Sexual Dysfunction: Enhances blood flow and tissue elasticity to treat vaginismus, alleviate dyspareunia (painful intercourse), and improve overall orgasmic function.
For Men
Surgical Recovery: Accelerates rehabilitation following a prostatectomy or Transurethral Resection of the Prostate (TURP). Sexual Health: Improves local circulation and muscle tone to manage erectile dysfunction (ED) and premature ejaculation. Prostate Health: Assists in managing symptoms related to chronic prostatitis. Bowel Dysfunction: Alleviates chronic constipation and fecal incontinence by improving sphincter control. Chronic Pain Management: Reduces chronic pelvic pain, including persistent sacroiliac and low back joint pain linked to pelvic instability. Tissue Regeneration: The intense stimulation promotes cellular turnover and local collagen regeneration, providing greater core stability.
What causes pelvic floor weakness?
Understanding why the pelvic floor degrades is the first step in recognizing that incontinence is a treatable mechanical issue, not an inevitable consequence of aging.
- Childbirth and Pregnancy: The sheer weight of a growing fetus places immense strain on the pelvic sling. During labor, these muscles stretch significantly, often leading to lasting weakness or structural trauma, particularly after multiple or difficult deliveries.
- Hormonal Changes and Menopause: Estrogen is vital for maintaining the elasticity and thickness of pelvic tissues. As estrogen drops during menopause, women frequently experience vaginal atrophy, tissue thinning, and a sudden onset of urinary leaks.
- Aging and Sarcopenia: As we age, our bodies naturally lose muscle mass and power—a condition known as sarcopenia. Without consistent, targeted exercise, the pelvic floor steadily loses its tone and structural support.
- High-Impact Exercise: Running, heavy lifting, and jumping can exert massive downward force on the pelvic organs. For individuals with existing weakness, these activities exacerbate leaks and structural damage.
- The Psychology of Weakness: Pelvic floor dysfunction often creates a negative feedback loop. Anxiety and embarrassment over incontinence cause people to avoid physical activity. This resulting inactivity accelerates muscle deconditioning, which in turn makes the incontinence much worse.
Is a Kegel chair worth it?
Clinical data strongly supports the efficacy of Kegel chair for pelvic therapy. Across multiple studies, patient satisfaction rates sit at approximately 95%. In specific trials, 50% of participants reported a complete resolution of their urinary incontinence, while 100% of participants reported measurable improvements in sexual function at the three-month mark.
Beyond the clinical statistics, the return on investment is measured in daily quality of life. Patients report a dramatic reduction in their dependency on adult pads and diapers, vastly improved sleep due to eliminated nocturia, and a renewed sense of confidence during physical activity and intimacy.
How much does a Kegel chair session cost?
A Kegel chair session costs $190 per treatment at The Mom Loft when purchased as a standard clinical package of four sessions. While your total financial investment depends on your specific pelvic health goals, this package pricing provides a highly accessible path to restoring bladder control and core strength.
To ensure you are completely comfortable with the B-Pulse technology before committing to a care plan, we provide a complimentary 10-minute demo so you can experience the electromagnetic therapy firsthand with zero financial obligation.
Who should avoid Kegel chair therapy?
While highly safe and non-invasive, Kegel chair therapy utilizes powerful magnetic fields. As a result, certain individuals must avoid this treatment. Clear contraindications include:
- Pregnant women.
- Individuals with cardiac pacemakers or implanted electronic defibrillators.
- Patients with metal implants, copper IUDs, or screws located below the waist.
- Those currently suffering from active pelvic infections or undiagnosed open wounds in the treatment area.
What is the difference between B-Pulse and Emsella chairs?
While Emsella is a highly popular device, it is not the only medical-grade Kegel chair available.
Our chosen technology is the Health Canada-approved B-Pulse Chair. It represents a significant advancement in non-invasive pelvic health. Operating with 8 Teslas of electromagnetic power, a single session induces 13,000 supramaximal contractions—surpassing the 11,000 contractions typically delivered by older market models.
For patients looking to understand the specific engineering differences, we have compiled a comprehensive B-Pulse vs Emsella Chairs comparison guide to help you make an informed medical decision.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many therapy sessions will I need?
Achieving optimal muscle hypertrophy requires a structured clinical protocol. A standard treatment plan consists of 4 to 6 sessions, scheduled twice a week over a three-week period. Once the initial muscular strength is rebuilt, patients often return for periodic maintenance sessions every few months to sustain their results long-term.
Is Emsella or Kegel chair therapy covered by OHIP?
Electromagnetic Kegel chairs are classified as elective, advanced medical devices. Consequently, the sessions themselves are not directly covered by OHIP. However, because this therapy is a recognized form of muscular rehabilitation, a portion of the cost may be covered by your private extended health benefits if the treatment is integrated into a broader, prescribed physiotherapy plan.
Why do medical professionals recommend Kegel chair therapy?
Clinical experts utilize Kegel chair therapy to strengthen weakened pelvic muscles and treat urinary incontinence effortlessly.
How do patients describe a Kegel chair?
Most patients find a Kegel chair completely painless, noting only a mild tingling and strong involuntary muscle contractions.
Must a patient undress to use a Kegel chair?
Advanced electromagnetic technology penetrates clothing completely, so you can operate a Kegel chair fully dressed.
How long do clinicians run the Kegel chair per session?
