The Health of Your Pelvic Floor: Why Strength Matters More Than You Think
- Feb 19
- 4 min read
There are certain parts of our body we openly talk about — and then there are parts we ignore until something feels “off.”
Your pelvic floor is one of them.
At Prestige Laser & Skin Clinic, we often meet women (and men) who are strong, active, successful, and health-conscious — yet quietly struggling with bladder leaks, urgency, reduced core strength, or decreased intimacy confidence. Many assume it’s “normal after childbirth” or “just part of aging.”
It may be common.But it is not something you simply have to live with.
Taking care of your pelvic floor is just as important as caring for your skin, your heart, or your muscles. In fact, it is foundational to overall body strength, stability, and quality of life.
What Is the Pelvic Floor?
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that sit like a hammock at the base of your pelvis. These muscles:
Support the bladder, uterus (in women), and rectum
Control urinary and bowel function
Stabilize your core
Play a role in sexual function
Assist with posture and lower back support
When these muscles are strong and functioning properly, you don’t think about them. When they weaken, symptoms begin to appear.
Signs Your Pelvic Floor May Need Support
Many people experience symptoms quietly, often brushing them off as minor inconveniences.
Common signs include:
Urine leakage when coughing, laughing, or exercising
Increased urgency or frequency
Feeling of pelvic heaviness
Lower back instability
Reduced core strength
Decreased sexual satisfaction
Postpartum weakness
These are not signs of failure. They are signs that your muscles need strengthening — just
like any other muscle group.
Why Pelvic Floor Health Is a 2026 Wellness Priority
In 2026, wellness is no longer about surface-level aesthetics. It’s about function.
We see more patients prioritizing:
Longevity
Muscle preservation
Core strength
Hormonal balance
Quality of life
Your pelvic floor plays a direct role in all of these.
Strong pelvic muscles support your spine, improve posture, enhance stability during workouts, and protect against long-term complications like incontinence or prolapse.
Ignoring it doesn’t make it go away.Strengthening it makes everything better.
What Causes Pelvic Floor Weakness?
Pelvic floor dysfunction isn’t limited to postpartum women.
Contributing factors include:
Pregnancy and childbirth
Aging
Hormonal changes
Chronic coughing
High-impact exercise
Weight fluctuations
Surgery
Genetics
Sedentary lifestyle
Even elite athletes can experience pelvic floor weakness. It is about muscle function — not fitness level.
The Problem with Traditional Kegels
Most people are told:
“Just do Kegels.”
But here’s the truth:Most people either perform them incorrectly or inconsistently.
And even when done correctly, Kegels cannot match the intensity and repetition required for true muscle rehabilitation.
You would not expect five casual squats a day to rebuild your legs.
The pelvic floor deserves the same level of attention and structure.
Introducing EMSELLA: Advanced Pelvic Floor Strengthening
At Prestige Laser & Skin Clinic, we offer Emsella, an advanced, non-invasive pelvic floor treatment designed to restore strength and improve muscle function.
Emsella uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology to stimulate deep pelvic floor contractions — far beyond what you can achieve voluntarily.
One session produces thousands of supramaximal contractions, effectively retraining and strengthening the muscles.
How EMSELLA Works
You remain fully clothed
You sit comfortably in a specialized chair
The session lasts approximately 28 minutes
No downtime
No invasive procedure
No discomfort
During treatment, the technology stimulates deep muscle contractions, strengthening neuromuscular control and improving overall pelvic stability.
Benefits of EMSELLA Treatment
Improves bladder control
Reduces urinary leakage
Enhances core strength
Improves pelvic stability
Supports postpartum recovery
Enhances sexual wellness
Non-surgical and non-invasive
No downtime
Many patients notice improvement after just a few sessions, with optimal results achieved through a structured treatment series.
Why Muscle Function Matters at Every Age
We talk often about collagen loss, skin aging, and facial structure — but muscle function declines too.
Pelvic floor health is not only about stopping leaks. It’s about:
Confidence
Stability
Strength
Long-term health
Just like you invest in skincare to maintain healthy skin, investing in muscle function supports your body’s structural integrity.
Combining Treatments in a Single Visit
At Prestige Laser & Skin Clinic, we believe in efficiency and structured care.
Many of our patients choose to schedule their Emsella treatment during the same visit as their Morpheus8 or other procedures.
For Morpheus8 treatments, we apply a prescription-strength numbing cream for approximately one hour before the procedure. During that numbing time, patients can comfortably undergo an Emsella session — maximizing their time without extending their appointment.
This allows you to address both skin health and muscle function in one visit.
Who Is a Candidate for EMSELLA?
You may benefit from Emsella if you:
Experience mild to moderate urinary incontinence
Have had children
Notice core weakness
Want preventative pelvic strengthening
Are entering perimenopause or menopause
Want to improve overall muscle function
A consultation allows us to assess suitability and determine a structured plan.
Free First Demo Experience
We understand that pelvic health can feel sensitive or unfamiliar.
That’s why we offer a complimentary first demo session, allowing you to experience the technology and understand how it feels before committing to a full treatment plan.
There is no pressure — just education and opportunity.

Taking care of your pelvic floor is not vanity. It is strength. It is confidence. It is proactive health.
