A Powerful, Non-Invasive Device for Pelvic Floor Strengthening

A healthy pelvic floor is essential to daily function and long-term health. These muscles:

• Support the pelvic organs to keep them properly positioned
• Help maintain continence by controlling the release of urine and stool
• Contribute to core strength and stability, supporting posture and movement
• Play a role in sexual activity by coordinating contractions and sensation
• Assist with labor and delivery for women
• Relax at the right times to allow for urination and bowel movements

When the pelvic floor works properly, these processes feel automatic. When dysfunction occurs, everyday activities can become difficult or uncomfortable.

Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when the muscles are too weak, too tight, or poorly coordinated. It can present in a number of ways, including:

• Leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising (stress incontinence)
• Difficulty controlling gas or stool (fecal incontinence)
• A strong, sudden urge to urinate (urge incontinence), or difficulty starting a stream
• Constipation or feeling of incomplete bowel emptying
• A sensation of heaviness or pressure in the pelvis, which may suggest organ prolapse
• Pain during sex, in the lower back, or around the pelvic region
• Ongoing discomfort or dysfunction that affects daily movement or routines

These symptoms can vary widely in severity and are often underreported, especially among older adults or postpartum individuals.

Yes. Although pelvic floor issues are often discussed in the context of childbirth or menopause, men also have a pelvic floor, and it serves equally important functions. In men, this muscle group supports bladder and bowel function and plays a key role in erectile function and ejaculation. Pelvic floor dysfunction in men may lead to:

• Urinary leakage, especially during exertion or after voiding
• Fecal incontinence or difficulty with bowel control
• Pelvic pain, pressure, or discomfort
• Erectile dysfunction or pain during ejaculation
• Trouble starting or fully emptying the bladder

Pelvic floor therapy can be an effective intervention for many of these concerns, helping men regain comfort, confidence, and control.

Yes, and this is often an overlooked revenue opportunity. Men with urinary leakage, post-prostatectomy incontinence, pelvic pain, or erectile dysfunction related to weak pelvic musculature are strong candidates. Offering pelvic floor strengthening to male patients expands the serviceable population and opens the door to a demographic that has very few non-invasive treatment options available to them.

The chair uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy to trigger thousands of deep, involuntary muscle contractions in a single 30-minute session, the equivalent of performing 15,000 Kegel exercises. This level of activation reaches muscle fibers that most patients cannot engage through voluntary effort alone, resulting in faster, more consistent strengthening.

Kegel exercises are notoriously difficult to perform correctly, and patient compliance over time is low. Most people engage the wrong muscle groups without realizing it, which limits results. The ReStora EMS Chair removes compliance entirely from the equation, delivering precise, deep stimulation automatically every session, making clinical outcomes far more predictable and consistent.

The standard protocol is six 30-minute sessions over three weeks, with two visits per week. Sessions are device-guided and require minimal staff involvement, making them easy to schedule alongside existing appointments. Most patients report noticeable improvement within the first two sessions, which supports strong retention through the full treatment series and into monthly maintenance visits.

The addressable patient population is broader than most providers expect. Beyond urinary incontinence, pelvic floor strengthening supports postpartum recovery, pre- and post-surgical rehabilitation, chronic pelvic pain, core instability, lower back pain, and sexual health concerns in both men and women. This gives practices multiple entry points for introducing the service across different patient demographics.

Early intervention produces the best outcomes, and proactive conversations about pelvic health tend to resonate well with patients. Providers don’t need to wait for severe symptoms; pelvic floor strengthening is appropriate for patients experiencing early signs of dysfunction, those recovering from childbirth or surgery, and even those looking to prevent future decline. Positioning it as a standard part of a pelvic health conversation makes it easier to introduce across a wider patient base.

The muscle improvements are real and durable, but the pelvic floor responds to ongoing conditioning just like any other muscle group. Most clinical guidelines recommend maintenance sessions every one to three months following the initial series. This creates a natural, recurring visit cadence that supports consistent patient retention and a predictable revenue stream for the practice.
