Ultra Tesla Seat for Incontinence in Swansea | Pelvic Floor Chair Treatment

Regain Control with the Ultra Tesla Seat for Incontinence

The Ultra Tesla Seat, also known as the Tesla Chair, is a non-invasive treatment designed to help people manage urinary incontinence, bowel incontinence, and pelvic floor weakness. At Dr Sandar Hlaing Women’s Health Clinic in Swansea, we use high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation technology to help strengthen weakened pelvic floor muscles safely and comfortably.

The treatment stimulates deep pelvic floor contractions equivalent to approximately 19,000 Kegel exercises in a single session, helping to rebuild muscle tone, improve bladder control, and support pelvic floor recovery.

Each treatment session lasts less than 30 minutes, and you remain fully clothed throughout. Most patients complete a course of six sessions over several weeks, although treatment plans may vary depending on symptoms and pelvic floor strength.

Understanding Bladder Leakage: When Pelvic Floor Weakness Becomes a Medical Concern

Many people experience bladder leakage occasionally, especially when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising. Others may notice a sudden urge to urinate or difficulty reaching the toilet in time. These symptoms are often linked to weakened pelvic floor muscles.

Pelvic floor weakness can develop for several reasons, including:

• Childbirth and pregnancy
• Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause
• Age-related muscle weakening
• Certain medical conditions
• Previous pelvic surgery

Without support, symptoms may gradually worsen over time and begin affecting confidence, daily activities, sleep, exercise, and social life.

The good news is that pelvic floor muscles can often be retrained and strengthened through non-surgical treatments like the Ultra Tesla Seat. In some cases, medication or additional pelvic floor support may also be recommended depending on individual symptoms.

How We Use Electromagnetic Pelvic Floor Stimulation to Restore Muscle Function

The Tesla pelvic floor chair works by stimulating and strengthening the muscles that support the bladder, bowel, and pelvic organs. Using targeted electromagnetic stimulation, the treatment repeatedly contracts and relaxes the pelvic floor muscles at a depth that can be difficult to achieve through exercises alone.

The treatment focuses specifically on the pelvic floor muscles and does not damage surrounding organs or tissues. It may help improve:

• Bladder control
• Pelvic floor strength
• Vaginal tone
• Urinary urgency symptoms
• Bowel control support
• Confidence during exercise and daily activities

Many patients seek treatment because bladder leakage has started affecting their confidence, travel, work, exercise routines, or social life. Strengthening the pelvic floor can help patients feel more comfortable returning to normal activities without constantly worrying about toilet access.

What Patients Commonly Notice During and After Treatment at Dr Sandar’s Clinic

Every patient responds differently depending on symptom severity, pelvic floor strength, lifestyle, and medical history. However, many patients begin noticing gradual improvements during the recommended treatment course.

Patients commonly report:

• Reduced bladder leakage episodes
• Better bladder control when exercising or moving
• Reduced urgency and frequency
• Improved pelvic floor awareness
• Greater confidence during daily activities
• Improved comfort and quality of life

Some patients notice improvement after their first few sessions, while others experience more gradual changes over several weeks. For many people, results continue improving throughout the full treatment course.

While the Ultra Tesla Seat may significantly improve symptoms, maintenance sessions may sometimes be recommended to help maintain long-term results.

Who We See Most Often for Ultra Tesla Seat Treatment in Swansea

At Dr Sandar Hlaing Women’s Health Clinic, we commonly support:

• Women experiencing bladder leakage after childbirth
• Patients with menopause-related pelvic floor weakness
• Older adults experiencing age-related bladder control changes
• Individuals with stress urinary incontinence
• Patients looking for a non-surgical pelvic floor treatment option

Many patients come to us after pelvic floor symptoms begin interfering with confidence, exercise, sleep, or everyday quality of life.

When We Recommend Ultra Tesla Seat Instead of Pelvic Floor Exercises Alone

Pelvic floor exercises remain important for pelvic health, but some patients struggle to activate the correct muscles consistently or may not notice enough improvement from exercises alone.

The Ultra Tesla Seat may provide additional support for patients who:

• Find pelvic floor exercises difficult
• Continue experiencing symptoms despite regular exercises
• Want a non-invasive alternative before considering surgery
• Have busy schedules that make pelvic physiotherapy difficult to maintain

Although the Ultra Tesla Seat does not replace specialist pelvic physiotherapy entirely, many patients find it a practical and comfortable option that supports pelvic floor strengthening more efficiently.

What You Can Realistically Expect Over a Full Treatment Course

Most treatment plans involve six sessions lasting approximately 28 minutes each. Patients remain fully clothed during treatment and can return immediately to work, driving, or normal activities afterwards.

Many patients notice symptom improvement during the course of treatment, although results vary depending on the severity of pelvic floor weakness and individual response.

Without treatment, urinary incontinence symptoms may gradually worsen over time. Early support may help reduce symptom progression and improve long-term pelvic floor function.

Top-up sessions may be recommended every few months depending on individual symptoms and treatment response.

Clinical Safety Screening and Who May Not Be Suitable for Treatment

The Ultra Tesla Seat treatment is considered safe for many patients. Before beginning treatment, we carry out a consultation and safety screening to ensure the treatment is appropriate for your medical history and symptoms.

Patients with certain metal implants or medical devices may not be suitable for electromagnetic stimulation therapy.

Many patients with fibroids can still safely undergo treatment, and the therapy is often suitable for older adults experiencing pelvic floor weakness related to ageing.

In some cases, treatment may be combined with medication or additional pelvic floor support strategies to help improve outcomes.

Supporting Evidence for Ultra Tesla Seat Treatment

Clinical research investigating high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation has shown promising results for stress urinary incontinence and mixed urinary incontinence.

A randomised sham-controlled study published in the Journal of Clinical Medicine assessed the short-term effects of high-inductive electromagnetic stimulation on pelvic floor muscles in patients with urinary incontinence. The study demonstrated measurable improvements in pelvic floor muscle activity compared with the sham intervention group.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Ultra Tesla Seat really work for bladder leakage?

Many patients experience improvement in bladder control, pelvic floor strength, and urinary urgency symptoms during the recommended treatment course. Results vary depending on symptom severity, pelvic floor weakness, and individual response to treatment.

How many Ultra Tesla Seat sessions will I need?

Most patients complete a course of six sessions lasting approximately 28 minutes each. Some patients may benefit from occasional maintenance sessions depending on their symptoms and long-term pelvic floor support needs.

Is the Tesla Chair treatment painful?

The treatment is generally well tolerated and non-invasive. Patients remain fully clothed throughout the session and can usually relax, read, or use their phone during treatment.

Can the Ultra Tesla Seat help menopause-related bladder leakage?

Pelvic floor weakness and bladder leakage are common during perimenopause and menopause due to hormonal changes and reduced pelvic tissue support. Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles may help improve bladder control and reduce leakage symptoms for some patients.

Can I return to work or drive after treatment?

Yes. There is no downtime after treatment, and most patients return immediately to normal daily activities, including work and driving.

Is the Ultra Tesla Seat a replacement for surgery?

The treatment does not replace surgery in all cases, but some patients experience enough symptom improvement that they choose to delay or avoid more invasive procedures.
