From pelvic floor muscle training plans, to non-invasive procedures to mildly-invasive procedures to surgery for those who need it, Dr. Christi is uniquely qualified to choose the treatment that is best for your specific needs.

How EMSELLA in Houston Works
Step 1
EMSELLA is a chair you sit on while remaining fully clothed. It simulates more than 10,000 kegel exercises to tone your bladder and pelvic floor muscles.
It sounds simple, and it is: no surgery, no medication and completely non-invasive!
Step 2
While remaining fully clothed, women sit on the EMSella chair for about 30 minutes.
EMSELLA uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology to stimulate all the deep muscles of the pelvic floor. During the brief treatment, muscles contract in response to the electromagnetic stimulation, producing noticeable results.
Step 3
Dr. Christi may recommend an intensive pelvic floor muscle training plan in conjunction with EMSELLA.
With one-on-one coaching for kegel exercises, patients can continue to strengthen their pelvic floor after the EMSELLA treatments are complete.
Symptoms treated With EMSELLA
Overactive bladder is a very common bladder problem causes both urgency and frequency of urination that result in too many trips to the bathroom. Sometimes women feel such a strong urge to urinate that they cannot make it to the bathroom in time, and end up wetting themselves. Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is a common and disruptive condition causes women to leak urine when they cough, sneeze or exercise.

Frequently Asked Questions
EMSELLA can be paired with other treatments for more comprehensive pelvic care. Both the EMFEMME 360 and MonaLisa Touch® procedures restore the vaginal walls and surrounding tissue, providing more blood flow, collagen and elastin. They can also improve bladder function.
If your bladder leakage is mild to moderate, you probably don’t need surgery. For less severe cases of stress urinary incontinence, the EMSELLA treatment is a game changer for women. If you leak urine when you cough, sneeze or exercise, or have that strong “gotta go” urge feeling, this simple procedure can return your bladder and pelvic floor muscles to the way they used to be.
No. In fact, Dr. Christi tested it for herself, and here’s what she had to say:
“I can best describe it as a “strange” feeling. I could feel the contractions like a pulling or tugging on the pelvic floor. The contractions were quite strong, but it did not hurt. I found it to be comfortable and very simple. I could easily carry on a conversation or read during the treatment. There was absolutely no downtime, and I resumed all of my regular activities immediately.”
