Stress Urinary Incontinence
Improvement of continence control in cases of involuntary urine leakage during sneezing, coughing, laughing, or physical exertion
Electromagnetic
Pelvic Floor Therapy
Non-invasive muscle stimulation to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.
HIFEM Technology
Non-invasive electromagnetic muscle stimulation
The Procedure
The electromagnetic pelvic floor therapy uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic fields (HIFEM) to induce deep muscle contractions in the pelvic floor muscles. At LITARA® Healing, we use the Power Chair for this treatment. During a session of under 30 minutes, the technology induces more than 15,000 muscle contractions.
The electromagnetic field penetrates deep into the pelvic floor tissue and activates the muscles evenly. This form of stimulation differs from conventional exercises through the intensity and consistency of muscle activation. The treatment leads to reconditioning of the pelvic floor muscles and improves neuromuscular control.
Many patients report noticeable improvements after approximately five treatments. The procedure is non-invasive and completely painless. You remain fully clothed while seated, as the electromagnetic field works in a targeted manner.
Indications
Therapeutic Indications
Urge Incontinence
Improvement of muscle control in cases of sudden, strong urinary urgency and frequent urination
Mixed Incontinence
Treatment of combined forms of incontinence with both stress and urge symptoms
Pelvic Floor Insufficiency
Rebuilding weakened pelvic floor muscles after childbirth, surgery, or age-related deconditioning
Postpartum Rehabilitation
Restoration of pelvic floor function and core stability after pregnancy and childbirth
Diastasis Recti
Support for the recovery of the abdominal muscles after pregnancy
Postoperative Incontinence
Improvement of continence after prostate or pelvic surgery
Core Stability
Strengthening of the core musculature for improved posture and movement quality
Muscle Atrophy
Rebuilding deconditioned musculature following prolonged inactivity or reduced mobility
Sexual Function
Improvement of pelvic floor control and blood circulation to support sexual health
Vaginal Laxity
Tightening of pelvic floor tissue and improvement of vaginal tone
Preventive Use
Prophylactic strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles to prevent age-related functional decline
Course of Treatment
The Treatment
During Treatment
The treatment is performed while wearing comfortable everyday clothing. You take a seat, and the electromagnetic stimulation is gradually adjusted to your individual tolerance level. The intensity and frequency of the electromagnetic impulses are continuously modulated during the session to ensure optimal muscle activation.
Most patients find the treatment pleasant. The sensation of rhythmic muscle contractions is noticeable but not uncomfortable. You remain in control of the intensity at all times. During the session, you can relax, read, or have a conversation.
No special preparation or recovery time is required. You can resume your normal activities immediately afterward. In the hours following the treatment, a mild muscle sensation may occur, similar to that after physical exercise.
