Starting in Dallas
Interested in the chair? In Paulding County, that conversation usually starts with Daniel Roberson, PA-C, at our Dallas Clinic. He'll ask about leaks, urgency and recovery from any prostate surgery, check your urine, and review medical devices and pregnancy plans before recommending sessions.
How the chair works
You sit fully dressed while a magnetic field causes the pelvic floor muscles to contract repeatedly, much like a long set of Kegel exercises done for you. Sessions are short, need no recovery time, and are used by women with stress or urge leakage and by men after prostate surgery. Results build over a series of visits.
Call us if
- Leaks get worse instead of better
- Burning or blood in the urine appears
- Pelvic pain develops
Common questions
Common questions
Will I feel anything?
Most people feel tingling and strong, rhythmic pelvic floor contractions, not pain. The intensity is turned up gradually during each session.
Can I do it with other treatments?
Yes. The chair is often combined with bladder medicines, home Kegels and habit changes such as cutting back on caffeine.
To arrange an evaluation from Dallas, Hiram or Powder Springs, dial (678) 344-8900.
Many people schedule sessions around work or errands, since there's nothing to recover from afterward. Men recovering from prostate removal often start once their catheter is out and they've been cleared. Women who leak with coughing, laughing or exercise are among those who benefit most often. We'll check progress partway through the series and talk about what comes next.
Wear comfortable clothes, and remove metal objects such as keys, phones and jewelry from your pockets.
Your care team will set the number of sessions in your course.
