Abdominal Pain and Dysfunction

Abdominal pain can arise from various sources, including muscle tension, connective tissue restrictions, post-surgical changes or even poor lifestyle habits. We assess all contributing factors to better understand the causes of your abdominal discomfort and help you manage them. Our multimodal physiotherapy treatment plan includes visceral manipulation, deep tissue mobilization, advanced technology and gentle movement. Everything we do is focused on helping you feel better. Conditions We Treat: Constipation Abdominal bloating and discomfort IBS-like symptoms Abdomino-pelvic tension and myofascial restriction Post-surgical abdominal pain or scarring Insightful Assessment Because everything in the body is connected, we assess posture, breathing, muscle tension, and lifestyle habits. By identifying imbalances, we help relieve abdominal discomfort and restore harmony. Releasing Deep Tension Surrounding muscles, fascia, and scars can often create tension, limit mobility, and contribute to ongoing abdominal discomfort. Hands-on therapy, supported by advanced technology and guided exercises, helps release these restrictions, reducing stiffness and improving symptoms. Restoring Rhythm Just like muscles and joints, your internal organs need to move freely to function well. When they’re restricted, it can affect digestion, cause tension, and contribute to pain. With our multimodal approach we help restore this natural mobility, relieving symptoms and supporting your body’s natural rhythm. Modern Relief We use cutting-edge therapies like TECAR and TENS not only to relieve pain but also to support recovery and accelerate healing from within. These modern, non-invasive treatments improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, and stimulate deep tissue repair, with no side effects . Moving Toward Wellness Our knowledgeable physiotherapists provide personalized lifestyle advice and tailored exercises to empower you in managing your condition. Interdisciplinary Collaboration We coordinate with your physicians, dietician, and specialists when needed, ensuring truly well-rounded care.

EMSELLA: Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

A non-invasive, proven treatment for pelvic floor dysfunction What is EMSELLA? Emsella is a breakthrough, non-invasive technology that uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy (HIFEM) to deeply stimulate the pelvic floor muscles. While you sit fully clothed, the chair delivers thousands of supramaximal contractions in a single 28-minute session, the equivalent of doing 11,000 Kegels. It helps restore strength, control, and confidence without discomfort or downtime. Who can benefit from Emsella? Emsella is ideal for both men and women who are experiencing: Urinary leakage when sneezing, coughing, laughing, or exercising A frequent or urgent need to urinate Weakness or discomfort in the pelvic area Erectile dysfunction or post-prostate surgery concerns (for men) Postpartum pelvic floor weakness (for women) A desire to improve intimate wellness and core stability EMSELLA is safe, non-invasive, completely clothed, and requires no downtime. Why It Works? EMSELLA activates deep pelvic muscles in a way no other treatment can. Studies show up to 95% patient satisfaction after a full course of treatment. It improves both the strength and coordination of the pelvic floor, helping you reclaim control and confidence.

Emsella is completely safe, FDA-cleared, and comfortable. You remain fully clothed during treatment and simply sit back as the chair does all the work. Most people describe a tingling sensation and strong but painless muscle contractions. There’s no downtime, so you can return to your day right after. How many sessions will I need? Most patients see noticeable improvement after 6 to 8 sessions, usually done twice a week. Some begin to feel better within the first few visits, especially when Emsella is part of a larger pelvic health plan. Your therapist will guide you based on your unique progress. Can men use the Emsella chair? Yes. Emsella is highly effective for men dealing with urinary incontinence, post-prostate recovery, or erectile dysfunction caused by pelvic floor weakness. It offers a discreet, non-invasive way to regain strength and control. Why do I need a pelvic floor assessment before starting Emsella? At KINETIKA , we believe in treating the whole person, not just the symptoms. That’s why every Emsella journey begins with a comprehensive 1-hour pelvic floor assessment with one of our expert physiotherapists. This essential step allows us to: Understand the root cause of your symptoms Assess if Emsella is the right option for you Identify any underlying conditions or imbalances Determine whether additional treatments are needed to support full recovery Build a complete, personalized pelvic health plan just for you In some cases, your body may benefit from manual therapy or rehabilitation before starting Emsella. At KINETIKA, we never rush or take chances with your health. We support your healing the right way, with care, precision, and a plan tailored to you . What are the benefits of a stronger pelvic floor? A strong, well-functioning pelvic floor does so much more than most people realize. It helps you: Prevent or reduce urinary incontinence Improve bladder and bowel control Enhance sexual health, pleasure, and sensation Support your pelvic organs and prevent prolapse Stabilize your core and lower back Move with more ease and confidence Feel more in control of your body and daily life Whether you’re navigating changes after childbirth, aging, surgery, or just want to feel stronger from the inside out,  improving your pelvic floor can make a real difference. Can I combine Emsella with other treatments? I’ve tried Kegels, how is Emsella different? Kegels can help, but they’re often hard to do correctly or consistently. Emsella takes the guesswork out by activating 100% of the pelvic floor muscles much more effectively than Kegels ever could. It’s an ideal option if exercises haven’t worked for you or if you’re looking for a faster, more powerful solution. What if I feel embarrassed or nervous about seeking treatment? You’re not alone, and you’re in good hands. Our pelvic health team is warm, discreet, and highly experienced. We know how personal these issues can feel, and we’ve created a safe, private space where you’ll be treated with care, respect, and compassion every step of the way.
