EMSELLA in Boulder, CO: Pelvic Floor and Core Strengthening and Recovery

By Aneesh Garg, DO, CAQ · Double Board-Certified Sports Medicine Physician · Medical Director, American Shockwave Training Institute · Team Physician, USA Hockey and U.S. Soccer

Dynamic Core+ pairs EMSELLA, an FDA-cleared chair that delivers roughly 11,200 supramaximal pelvic-floor contractions in a single 28-minute session while you sit fully clothed, with focused shockwave to treat the muscular and connective-tissue sides of pelvic-floor and core dysfunction together. At Dynamic Athlete, EMSELLA is never given alone: we are the only clinic in Boulder offering the EMSELLA plus focused-shockwave combination. It fits two tracks: pelvic-floor rehabilitation for stress, urge, and mixed incontinence, and athletic core performance built on the pelvic floor as the foundation of the core chain.

The focused-shockwave half of Dynamic Core+ is performed by an ISMST-certified physician, Aneesh Garg, DO, CAQ, “The Regen Doc,” Founder and Medical Director of the American Shockwave Training Institute (ASTI). So the shockwave paired with EMSELLA is the true focused modality, delivered to the international standard.

Boulder's Only Clinic Pairing EMSELLA HIFEM with Focused Shockwave

Dynamic Core+ is the only protocol in Boulder pairing EMSELLA HIFEM electromagnetic pelvic floor stimulation with focused shockwave therapy in a single integrated treatment. EMSELLA is never administered alone at Dynamic Athlete. The dual-modality approach addresses both the neuromuscular activation of the pelvic floor and the connective tissue and circulatory environment that surrounds it. Patients remain fully clothed for 28-minute sessions with no downtime.

Inside the Dynamic Core+ Protocol: How EMSELLA and Focused Shockwave Work Together

EMSELLA HIFEM induces thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor contractions per session, far beyond what voluntary exercise can produce. Focused shockwave then improves blood flow and tissue elasticity in the surrounding pelvic and core structures. The combination addresses what neither modality does alone: muscular activation plus tissue-level recovery. Most patients complete a six-session series.

Who Dynamic Core+ Is For: Postpartum Recovery, Pelvic Floor Dysfunction, and Core Performance

Dynamic Core+ is built for postpartum athletes returning to running, lifting, or sport; masters athletes managing stress urinary incontinence; men and women rebuilding core stability after injury or surgery; and any patient where pelvic floor weakness is limiting performance. We are not a med spa. We are a sports medicine practice treating the pelvic floor as a performance system, not an aesthetic concern.

Why EMSELLA Is Different From Pelvic Floor Exercises and Physical Therapy

Pelvic floor physical therapy and exercise programs rely on voluntary muscle contraction and patient consistency. While effective for some, others struggle to generate sufficient intensity, coordination, or repetition to retrain deep neuromuscular pathways.

EMSELLA works differently by inducing powerful, involuntary contractions that directly activate pelvic floor and core muscles. This allows consistent neuromuscular recruitment that is not dependent on technique, endurance, or conscious control. For patients who have tried exercises or physical therapy without adequate improvement, EMSELLA may provide a different path forward.

Who EMSELLA Is Designed to Help

EMSELLA for Pelvic Floor Weakness and Bladder Control

This pathway supports individuals experiencing urinary leakage with activity, coughing, or exertion; post-pregnancy pelvic floor weakness; age-related changes in muscle strength; or loss of confidence related to bladder control.

EMSELLA for Athletic Core Strength and Performance

This pathway supports individuals and athletes whose visible strength remains high but whose deep core activation limits stability, power transfer, or durability under load.

What an EMSELLA Session Involves

A typical session includes physician-directed intake, seated treatment with focused electromagnetic stimulation, progressive adjustment based on tolerance, and no recovery downtime.

Safety and Medical Oversight

EMSELLA uses FDA-cleared neuromuscular stimulation technology and is delivered as a physician-directed medical service following appropriate screening.

Bladder leakage is treatable without surgery. The established first step is strengthening the pelvic floor, and when Kegels are hard to do correctly or have not been enough, the FDA-cleared EMSELLA chair strengthens those same muscles for you: you sit fully clothed for a 28-minute session while HIFEM electromagnetic stimulation prompts deep pelvic-floor contractions you cannot fully reach on your own. At Dynamic Athlete in Boulder, Colorado, EMSELLA is delivered as Dynamic Core+, paired with focused shockwave and directed by Aneesh Garg, DO, CAQ, with candidacy decided at a consultation first.

Non-surgical treatment for bladder leakage: the options, honestly

Bladder leakage, stress incontinence (leaking when you cough, sneeze, laugh, lift, or run), urge incontinence, and the constant need to find a bathroom are common and treatable symptoms, and none of them starts with surgery. The non-surgical options run from pelvic floor muscle training (Kegels) and pelvic floor physical therapy to lifestyle and bladder-training changes, and, when the muscles need more than exercises can deliver, device-based strengthening. Each has a place, and the right one depends on the cause of your symptoms.

EMSELLA belongs in the device-based category. It is a non-invasive treatment that strengthens the pelvic-floor muscles using HIFEM electromagnetic stimulation. It may help with the symptoms of bladder leakage by rebuilding the muscle support behind bladder control. It is not a permanent fix, results vary from person to person, and whether it fits you is a consult question, not a claim we make in advance.

How EMSELLA treats bladder leakage without surgery

An EMSELLA session is straightforward and private. There are no needles, no surgery, and no recovery time.

Most people complete a short series, typically six sessions, with additional maintenance sessions as needed. At Dynamic Athlete, EMSELLA is delivered as Dynamic Core+, pairing it with focused shockwave to address the muscular and connective-tissue sides of pelvic-floor weakness. It may be worth exploring if you have bladder leakage, stress or urge incontinence, or postpartum pelvic-floor weakness and want a non-invasive option before considering surgery; see postpartum recovery for that path. It may not be the right fit during pregnancy, with certain implanted electronic or metal devices, or where another condition needs to be addressed first. Aneesh Garg, DO, CAQ, will tell you honestly whether you are a candidate.

Over 90% of our patients self-report a 75% or greater improvement following treatment.

Non-surgical options include pelvic floor muscle training, pelvic floor physical therapy, lifestyle and bladder-training changes, and device-based strengthening such as the FDA-cleared EMSELLA chair, which uses HIFEM electromagnetic stimulation to prompt deep pelvic-floor contractions while you sit fully clothed. At Dynamic Athlete in Boulder it is delivered as Dynamic Core+ under Aneesh Garg, DO, CAQ. Results vary from person to person, and candidacy is confirmed at a consultation. Details are on our EMSELLA FAQ.

EMSELLA may help with the symptoms of bladder leakage by strengthening the pelvic-floor muscles that support bladder control, using non-invasive electromagnetic stimulation while you sit fully clothed. It is not a permanent fix and results vary from person to person. At Dynamic Athlete it is delivered as Dynamic Core+ by Aneesh Garg, DO, CAQ, and whether it fits you is a consult question. The full walkthrough is in our pelvic floor complete guide.

Stress incontinence is leaking when you cough, sneeze, laugh, lift, or run, often from a weak pelvic floor. EMSELLA may help with those symptoms by strengthening the supporting muscles, fully clothed and without surgery. Results vary from person to person and it is not a permanent fix. Candidacy is confirmed at a consult with Aneesh Garg, DO, CAQ; contact the clinic to schedule one.

Yes. EMSELLA treats the male pelvic floor too, including bladder control concerns after prostate surgery. The session is the same: fully clothed, about 28 minutes, no needles and no downtime. Whether it fits your case is decided at a consultation with Aneesh Garg, DO, CAQ, and pricing is discussed there; see understanding your investment.

EMSELLA is a non-invasive pelvic floor strengthening treatment that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology to stimulate thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor contractions while you sit fully clothed on the EMSELLA chair.

Each 28-minute session produces approximately 11,200 pelvic floor contractions, far more than you could achieve through Kegels. These contractions retrain and strengthen the entire pelvic floor musculature, restoring neuromuscular control lost through aging, childbirth, high-impact activity, or prolonged sitting.

Our Dynamic Core+ EMSELLA protocol is the only program in Boulder that positions EMSELLA for both pelvic floor rehabilitation and athletic core performance.

Most patients notice improvement within the first few sessions.

Patient Experience: I hear it constantly from new patients: “Why didn’t anyone tell me about this sooner?”

Yes. EMSELLA is FDA cleared for stress urinary incontinence and clinical studies show significant improvement in leakage, pad use, and quality of life after a standard treatment course.

Stress incontinence occurs when pelvic floor muscles are too weak to maintain urethral closure during coughing, sneezing, laughing, running, or jumping. EMSELLA strengthens these muscles through supramaximal contractions that restore the neuromuscular control needed to prevent leakage.

Dynamic Core+ addresses stress incontinence within a sports medicine framework. Dr. Garg evaluates whether your leakage connects to broader core instability or movement patterns that a cosmetic-only EMSELLA provider would never assess.

Many patients reduce or eliminate pad use after completing treatment.

Patient Experience: The moment a patient runs without leaking for the first time in years is the best part of this work.

EMSELLA improves athletic performance by strengthening the pelvic floor, which is the foundation of your core and the structure through which all force transfers between your upper and lower body during movement.

A weak pelvic floor creates an energy leak in your core stability chain. When you run, cycle, climb, or lift, force must transfer efficiently through the pelvic floor. Weakness means wasted energy, reduced power, and compensatory patterns that increase injury risk.

Dynamic Core+ is the only program in Boulder that positions EMSELLA for athletic performance. We can also layer Dynamic Mind+ EXOMIND neurostimulation to optimize the brain-body connection driving your movement patterns.

Your pelvic floor is the missing piece of most core training programs.

Patient Experience: One patient with twenty-five years in fitness and wellness called EMSELLA a surprisingly powerful add-on, saying he had never felt a machine activate deep inner core muscles so precisely.

The cost of EMSELLA treatment varies based on the number of sessions in your protocol. We provide transparent pricing during consultation.

A standard course is six sessions. The investment reflects advanced HIFEM technology and the physician-directed treatment approach you get with Dynamic Core+. Compared to ongoing incontinence products, months of pelvic floor PT, or surgical alternatives, EMSELLA represents excellent value.

What you are paying for is not just a chair. You are getting a double board-certified sports medicine physician directing your protocol with the ability to layer in shockwave, PRP, or stem cell therapy if needed.

The value is best measured against the daily cost of pads, the time cost of PT, and the impact on your quality of life.

Patient Experience: Patients consistently find EMSELLA to be a worthwhile investment in both comfort and performance.

EMSELLA delivers far more intense pelvic floor contractions than Kegels can achieve, but maintaining pelvic floor awareness and basic exercises between sessions complements your results.

Think of EMSELLA as the heavy lifting and Kegels as the maintenance. EMSELLA builds the strength foundation through supramaximal contractions that voluntary effort cannot match. Kegels help maintain awareness and activation between sessions and after your course is complete.

Dynamic Core+ builds the pelvic floor strength that Kegels maintain. Unlike med spa protocols, we provide guidance on exercises as part of your plan because Dr. Garg treats the full picture, not just the 28 minutes you sit in the chair.

EMSELLA does the work Kegels cannot. Kegels help maintain what EMSELLA builds.

Patient Experience: Patients find EMSELLA produces the breakthrough their Kegels never could, and simple exercises sustain the gains.
