What Is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction & Incontinence?

Pelvic floor dysfunction refers to weakened or impaired muscles, connective tissue, and nerves that support the bladder, urethra, uterus (in women), rectum, and pelvic organs. When these structures fail to maintain proper strength, coordination, or support, patients may experience urinary leakage, urgency, or reduced control—commonly termed urinary incontinence.

At Natural State Health Center we approach incontinence not just as a symptom, but as a manifestation of underlying pelvic floor weakness or neuromuscular disconnection.

Common types of urinary incontinence include:

• Stress incontinence: leakage during coughing, sneezing, exercise, or liftin 
• Urge incontinence (overactive bladder): sudden urge to void and involuntary leakage
• Mixed incontinence: combination of stress + urge symptoms

Symptoms often include frequent urges to urinate, dribbling, leakage with exertion, nocturia (waking at night), or difficulty reaching the restroom in time.

 

Why Traditional Approaches Often Fall Short

Conventional methods—such as Kegel exercises, biofeedback, lifestyle modifications, or surgical interventions—each have limitations. Many patients struggle to perform Kegels correctly, lack consistency, or find progress slow. Invasive procedures carry risks, downtime, and cost.

For those seeking a highly effective, non‑invasive, hands‑free solution, Gazelle represents a new frontier in pelvic rehabilitation.

 

Introducing Gazelle: A Breakthrough in Pelvic Floor Therapy

Gazelle is the world’s most effective non‑surgical, non‑invasive treatment to manage pelvic floor issues.

Here’s what sets it apart:

• FDA Cleared | Non‑surgical | Non‑invasive | Done WITH your clothes on | Guaranteed results
• > 80% effective (clinical response)
• Backed by 40+ clinical studies
• An FDA‑cleared bio‑electric magnet delivers stimulation up to 4 inches deep without skin contact
• 100% involuntary contractions create new neuromuscular pathways
• Rebuilds strength, control, and connectivity of compromised pelvic floor muscles
• Creates long-term rehabilitation effects, not just temporary gains
• Cure, strengthen, and restore your pelvic floor—to give back your freedom

Inside the Gazelle chair, precision electromagnetic coils generate focused energy deep into the pelvic musculature. These fields produce thousands of supramaximal contractions during a single session—all without insertion, wires, or probes. 

 

How Gazelle Works: Treatment Mechanism & Protocol

 

Technology & Mechanism

• The chair contains special electromagnets built into the seat
• No probes, electrodes, or skin contact: patients remain fully clothed 
• Each 20‑minute treatment triggers ~5,600 involuntary contractions 
• Over a typical 24‑session (8‑week) protocol, you may experience over 800,000 contractions
• The pulsed magnetic stimulation reaches up to 4 inches deep into pelvic tissues

These contractions engage and retrain pelvic floor muscles and their nerve pathways, facilitating restoration of strength, endurance, and neuromuscular control.

Treatment Schedule & Sensation

• Session duration: 20 minutes
• Frequency: typically 3 sessions/week for 8 weeks
• Painless & noninvasive—patients often feel a mild tingling/contraction sensation
• No downtime, no undressing, fully clothed experience

Exclusions & Safety

Gazelle treatment is not suitable for patients who:

• Are pregnant or suspect pregnancy
• Have an implantable pacemaker or defibrillator
• Have a history of cardiac arrhythmia or atrial fibrillation (AFib)

It is essential to undergo a medical evaluation and screening to confirm eligibility and rule out contraindications.

 

Clinical Benefits & Supporting Evidence

Gazelle therapy offers a spectrum of benefits:

●      Significant improvement in urinary control

• Strengthens not only core pelvic floor muscles but also adjacent musculature 

●      Increases urinary stream, enhances sexual function, and restores confidence

• Creates lasting neuromuscular adaptation, not just temporary contraction

 

• Many patients report a reduction—or elimination—of symptoms after completing the protocol

The science is robust: 40+ clinical trials support the use of electromagnetic stimulation for pelvic rehabilitation. gazellechair.com+1

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it painful?

No. Most patients describe mild tingling or rhythmic contractions, but the experience is gentle and well tolerated.

Do I have to undress?

No. Treatment is delivered while fully clothed—no probes, electrodes, or gel.

How soon will I see results?

Some notice changes after just a few sessions, though optimal improvement is achieved after completing the full course.

Do I need booster sessions?

Many patients benefit from maintenance “touch-up” sessions every 3–6 months to sustain gains.

Are results permanent?

Gazelle is designed to retrain neuromuscular control, promoting long-term benefits. However, results depend on adherence, severity of baseline dysfunction, and patient-specific factors.
