The chair delivers focused electromagnetic energy to the pelvic floor muscles, causing them to contract much more intensely than is typically possible through voluntary exercises alone.

These repeated contractions help improve muscle strength, endurance, and neuromuscular activation. Stronger pelvic floor muscles can support better bladder control, core stability, and pelvic function.

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles located at the base of the pelvis. These muscles help support the:

• Bladder

• Bowel

• Uterus (women)

• Prostate (men)

They are also important for:

• Bladder control

• Bowel control

• Sexual function

• Core strength

• Posture

• Everyday movement

Pelvic floor muscles can weaken over time due to:

• Pregnancy

• Childbirth

• Menopause

• Aging

• Heavy lifting

• Chronic coughing

• High-impact exercise

• Certain surgeries

• Obesity

• Chronic constipation

Many people experience pelvic floor weakness without realizing it.

Urinary incontinence is the accidental leakage of urine. It is a common condition affecting both women and men and can range from occasional leaks to more frequent symptoms.

Stress urinary incontinence occurs when urine leaks during activities that increase pressure inside the abdomen, such as:

• Laughing

• Sneezing

• Coughing

• Running

• Jumping

• Lifting heavy objects

This type of leakage is often associated with weakened pelvic floor muscles.

Urge urinary incontinence is a sudden, strong urge to urinate that may be difficult to control before reaching a bathroom.

Some people describe it as “not making it in time.”

Mixed urinary incontinence combines symptoms of both stress and urge urinary incontinence.

Bladder leakage becomes more common with age, but it should not simply be accepted as an inevitable part of getting older.

Many people benefit from pelvic floor strengthening, lifestyle changes, physiotherapy, or other treatments after an appropriate assessment.

Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles may help improve bladder control for some people, particularly those with pelvic floor weakness. During your consultation, we will determine whether B-Pulse is an appropriate option based on your symptoms and medical history.

Yes. Pregnancy places increased pressure on the pelvic floor muscles, and childbirth can further stretch these muscles.

Many women notice bladder leakage, reduced core strength, or a feeling of pelvic weakness after having a baby.

Once your healthcare provider has confirmed that you have healed appropriately after delivery, B-Pulse may be considered as part of a postpartum recovery plan to help strengthen the pelvic floor muscles.

Yes. Declining estrogen levels during menopause can contribute to changes in the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding tissues. Some women notice increased bladder leakage, urgency, or changes in pelvic support during this stage of life.

No. Kegel exercises remain an important way to maintain pelvic floor health. B-Pulse may complement a comprehensive pelvic floor strengthening program, depending on your individual needs.

Absolutely. Many active women choose pelvic floor strengthening to support high-impact exercise, running, tennis, pickleball, skiing, golf, and other activities that place repeated stress on the pelvic floor.

Yes. Men have pelvic floor muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and prostate and contribute to bladder control, core stability, and sexual function.

Yes. Men experiencing pelvic floor weakness or certain bladder control issues may benefit from strengthening these muscles. Your consultation will determine whether B-Pulse is appropriate for your situation.

Some men may use pelvic floor strengthening as part of their recovery after prostate procedures, but treatment should only begin when recommended by their surgeon or healthcare provider.

The device generates rhythmic pelvic floor muscle contractions throughout the treatment.

There are no injections, no surgery, and no internal devices.

Most appointments take approximately 30 minutes.

Many patients begin with a series of approximately six treatments, although the exact number depends on your goals, symptoms, and treatment plan. Maintenance treatments may be recommended for some patients.

Patients often describe the sensation as strong but comfortable muscle contractions or a gentle tingling feeling. The treatment intensity is adjusted throughout the session to maximize comfort.

No. You can return to work, exercise, and your normal daily routine immediately after treatment.

Some people experience mild muscle fatigue similar to what they feel after a workout, but this generally resolves quickly.

Some patients notice changes after only a few treatments, while others experience gradual improvement over several weeks. Individual results vary depending on muscle condition, lifestyle, and treatment goals.

Results vary from person to person. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following your provider’s recommendations, including maintenance treatments if advised, can help support longer-lasting results.

B-Pulse is a non-invasive treatment that uses Health Canada-licensed technology. As with any medical treatment, your healthcare provider will review your medical history to determine whether it is appropriate for you.

B-Pulse may not be suitable for people who:

• Are pregnant

• Have certain implanted electronic devices, such as some pacemakers or defibrillators

• Have certain metal implants in or near the treatment area

• Have medical conditions that make electromagnetic therapy inappropriate

Your consultation will determine whether treatment is right for you.

Most patients experience few side effects. Temporary muscle fatigue or mild soreness may occur after treatment, similar to what you might feel after exercising.

Yes. Millions of women and men experience pelvic floor weakness at some point in their lives, yet many people are reluctant to discuss it. Effective assessment and treatment options are available.
