Cheshire and Cheadle Clinics Offer Revolutionary Emsella Treatment

Two new clinics have been opened in Cheshire and Cheadle, offering the revolutionary Emsella Treatment. This week, Michelle Avery explains the story behind the new clinics:

“MUUUUUM” are usually the first words I hear when I wake in the morning! I know I am truly blessed to have my 4 children and it’s an honour not afforded to everyone. In the past however, my bladder and pelvic floors thought otherwise and showed me what a physical impact bringing those 4 beauties into the world has had! Some would say a small price to pay…but would they? Most women I know won’t openly talk about their “leaks”. It’s a taboo subject! Something that so many of us deal with each and every day yet no-one peeps a word about it…until someone else brings it up!! “oh yeah! I’ve not been able to get on a trampoline with the kids for years” as they laugh it off! No mum that I have spoken to that suffers from “leaks” believes that they are incontinent. It is not a word that they associate with and maybe this is why they haven’t openly searched for a solution other than the good old pelvic floor exercises that we are urged to do after child birth.

 It isn’t just mums that suffer from Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). Sports women both professional and amateur are affected by this issue each and every day. Studies show that 25-28% of young athletes that have never been pregnant report SUI. These figures are higher where the activities they take part in increase the intrapelvic pressure, like gymnastics and trampolining where 60-80% of athletes report SUI. The more pressure that is put on the intra pelvic area the more the SUI is likely to take place. Female elite athletes are three times more likely to suffer with SUI than a non-athletic female. They are also likely to have a family history of Urinary Infections significantly associated with SUI.

As a qualified and practicing nurse for 15 years, I have witnessed first-hand incontinence on a daily basis. It is a condition that comes to many elderly ladies. Little did I know that I would be dealing with it in my late 30’s and early 40’s.  Dealing with this earlier in life would stop me suffering worsened problems in later life and make it highly unlikely I will suffer from bladder prolapse in the future.

There is an new treatment option available now that fills the gap between pelvic floor exercises and surgery- often the usual step when exercises haven't fully resolved the problem. The BTL Emsella treatment is revolutionary and has been changing ladies lives in the USA and Australia for a couple of years. There are currently 11 clinics with these chairs throughout the UK and due to my own personal experiences, as a family we decided to invest in bringing this to the UK to help many more ladies like me…and those not like me! My running days are over!!

3 hours over 6 x 28-minute sessions, will result in a 95% success rate of curing Stress Urinary Incontinence.

The three clinical trials have shown a 95% success rate in improving quality of life but what does this mean in real terms. I can speak from our experience from the reports given by our clients on how this has impacted their quality of life.

Reports from our clients are varied in nature from depriving themselves of fluids before a run, having to squat in a well-hidden bush along the route, taking a spare pair of pants everywhere, making bit a mission to find a pad that doesn’t stand out under their leggings and even influences the choice of colours they wear- black is the ideal colour as its harder to see the wet patch! And the queue for the ladies before a race says it all! In fact, have you ever wondered why wherever you go, at any time the queue for the ladies is always massive and the gents is non-existent?
