Expert FAQs
Sinead Dufour answers common clinical questions regarding pelvic health and the UROSPOT care model.
How does Emsella integrate with traditional physiotherapy?
Emsella acts as a potent catalyst. While traditional physiotherapy is excellent for education and manual technique, Emsella provides the neuromuscular stimulation volume that manual exercises cannot achieve alone, creating a comprehensive “fast-track” to recovery.
Is Emsella suitable for everyone with pelvic floor issues?
Most individuals suffering from stress or urge incontinence benefit greatly. However, we conduct a thorough screening to ensure there are no contraindications such as metal implants or certain medical conditions, ensuring absolute patient safety.
What makes the UROSPOT model clinically unique?
UROSPOT care is individualized – not a one size fits all solution. Clients can choose to work with a physiotherapist for deeper holistic evidence based care, while using Emsella as an adjunct tool to help achieve their goals. The intradisciplinary care model makes UROSPOT unique.
How soon can patients expect to see clinical results?
Every body is unique. Some people experience significant improvement early in their care. The majority of clients have excellent outcomes by the end of their care which includes technology layered with health coaching on lifestyle and behaviour changes to optimize outcomes.
