Four things that are true of every visit

Care by an OB/GYN

Every procedure at Oshun is reviewed and led by a board-certified Obstetrician and Gynaecologist. Dr. Rockhead is a physician first — the same one who treats women's health on the other side of his practice.

30 years caring for women

Three decades as a practicing OB/GYN at Amadeo Medical Group, the parent clinical practice. Every Emsella plan is reviewed by a physician who has cared for women through pregnancy, surgery, perimenopause, and post-natal recovery.

Written plan first

Every Emsella patient leaves consultation with a written plan: areas, technique, timing, recovery, cost. Returning patients refine the same plan rather than starting from scratch every visit.

Conservative, considered

Oshun's approach favours conservative, considered care over aggressive intervention. Decisions are made in conversation with you, options are presented in plain language, and consent is informed at every step.

The honest version

Why emsella sometimes disappoints.

Emsella disappoints when it's expected to treat anatomic problems that physical therapy or surgery would solve, or when the course is cut short before the full effect builds.

Emsella strengthens pelvic floor muscle tone. It does not repair anatomic defects — prolapse beyond mild grade, large cystoceles, or significant urethral hypermobility are anatomic problems that surgery (not muscle conditioning) addresses. Patients with these conditions sometimes see partial improvement from Emsella but the underlying anatomy still warrants definitive treatment.

The other common failure mode is patients dropping out at 2 or 3 sessions because they aren't seeing immediate dramatic change. The 6-session protocol is designed around how muscle adapts to repeated supramaximal stimulation; partial courses produce partial results.

At Oshun, we don't run that model. Emsella here is physician-led from consultation through follow-up, with a written plan in your hands and a follow-up visit on the calendar before you leave.

No obligation · Every consultation is in-person with Dr. Rockhead.

A Emsella visit at Oshun follows a clear sequence — from consultation through the procedure itself through follow-up. Here is what happens, step by step.

i.

Consultation

Before any Emsella is scheduled, you meet Dr. Rockhead in person at 9 Devon Road. He reviews your medical history, examines you as appropriate, and explains the options — including the option not to proceed. You leave with a clear written plan and a quote.

ii.

Preparation

Empty your bladder before the session. Wear loose, non-restrictive clothing. Remove all metal from pockets (jewellery, phones, keys, coins). No other preparation required.

iii.

The Emsella session

You sit fully clothed on the Emsella chair. Dr. Rockhead or a trained Oshun clinician sets the intensity to a level that triggers strong pelvic-floor contractions but stays comfortable for you. Intensity is gradually increased through the session as you adapt. You remain seated through the 28-minute session; you can read, work, or rest.

iv.

Recovery & follow-up

None. You can resume all normal activities immediately, including exercise. Course review at the end of the 6-session series, with a discussion of whether maintenance sessions are warranted based on your response.

The procedure itself.


What it isEmsella is a non-invasive pelvic floor strengthening treatment using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) technology delivered through a chair-shaped device. The patient sits fully clothed; the device induces thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor contractions during each session.
How long it's been aroundEmsella received FDA clearance for treatment of urinary incontinence in women in 2018 and has expanded to other pelvic-floor-related indications in subsequent years.
What we treat with itStress urinary incontinence (leakage with cough, sneeze, exercise), urge incontinence, mild pelvic floor weakness post-childbirth or post-menopause, and some forms of sexual dysfunction related to pelvic floor tone.

Your appointment

The day of your visit.


How much you'll needThe standard protocol is 6 sessions over 3 weeks (twice weekly), with maintenance sessions every 6–12 months as needed.
Will it hurt?No anaesthesia, no needles, no disrobing. Patients sit fully clothed on the device. Most describe the sensation as a strong but tolerable pelvic floor contraction, similar to an intense Kegel exercise performed automatically.
How long the visit takesEach Emsella session is 28 minutes on the device, with a few minutes of setup and a brief check-out. Plan for about 45 minutes total per visit.
Time off afterNo downtime. You can drive yourself to and from the appointment and return to all normal activities immediately.

Is Emsella right for you

Who gets the most out of Emsella at Oshun.

Emsella isn't a one-size category — the right approach depends on your specific situation. Below are common patient profiles we see. If one sounds like you, an in-person consultation at 9 Devon Road is the next step.

Post-childbirth

Stress incontinence after vaginal delivery

Stress urinary incontinence after one or more vaginal deliveries is one of the strongest Emsella indications. Patients who leak with cough, sneeze, or exercise often see substantial reduction over the 6-session course.

Perimenopause/menopause

Worsening leakage in the 50s and 60s

Loss of pelvic floor tone with declining estrogen produces leakage in many women who never had it before. Emsella complements topical estrogen and pelvic floor physiotherapy in this population.

Athletic women

Leakage with running or jumping

Stress incontinence in otherwise high-functioning athletic women (running, CrossFit, trampoline) often responds quickly to Emsella because baseline muscle health is already good.

Sexual function

Reduced sensation and orgasm-related concerns

Improved pelvic floor tone correlates with improved sensation and orgasm for many patients. This indication is less FDA-endorsed than incontinence but is a common reason for treatment.

If this sounds right

The next step is a conversation, not a commitment.

Every Emsella patient at Oshun starts with a consultation. Twenty minutes, in-person at 9 Devon Road, with Dr. Rockhead. No procedure is scheduled, no quote is signed, no pressure either way. You leave with a plan and a price — or you leave with neither.

The honest answers

Nine questions every nervous first-timer asks.

Open any of them. We've written each answer the way Dr. Rockhead would actually say it — not the way a brochure would.

Does Emsella hurt?
No. Most patients describe the sensation as a strong but tolerable pelvic floor contraction. Intensity is adjustable; the clinician gradually increases it as you adapt through the session.
Do I need to undress for Emsella?
No — Emsella is performed fully clothed. You sit on the chair through the 28-minute session. The privacy is one of its main advantages over physiotherapy approaches that require pelvic examination.
How many Emsella sessions will I need?
The standard protocol is 6 sessions over 3 weeks (twice weekly). Maintenance sessions every 6–12 months may be needed depending on your response and the underlying condition.
How soon will I see results from Emsella?
Some patients notice improvement after 2–3 sessions. Most see substantial improvement by the end of the 6-session course, with continued improvement over the following weeks.
Is Emsella safe?
Emsella has been FDA-cleared since 2018 with a strong safety record. The main considerations are contraindications (pacemakers, metal implants in the area, pregnancy) which are screened at consultation. There is no anaesthesia and no recovery.
Can I have Emsella with an IUD?
Plastic IUDs (Mirena, Skyla, Kyleena, Liletta) are generally compatible with Emsella. Copper IUDs (ParaGard) are not. Dr. Rockhead confirms your IUD type at consultation.
Will Emsella help with prolapse?
Emsella can help with mild pelvic floor weakness contributing to early prolapse symptoms. Significant anatomic prolapse is a structural problem that muscle conditioning alone does not correct; surgery or pessary is the appropriate treatment.
What's the cost of an Emsella course?
Emsella is priced per session with a 6-session package discount. The written quote at consultation reflects the session count.
How do I book Emsella at Oshun?
Booking is a two-step process: a private consultation first to confirm the right indication, then scheduling of the 6-session course. WhatsApp (876) 676-6297 or schedule a consultation from this page.
Two paths from here

One conversation away.

Emsella is a remarkably low-burden treatment for a problem many women have learned to live with for decades. The consultation is where the indication gets confirmed and the 6-session plan gets written.
