What Is Pelvic Floor Health Treatment?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. When these muscles weaken or lose coordination, the result can be urinary leakage, urgency, pelvic pressure, reduced sexual function, and loss of core stability.
Pelvic floor dysfunction affects both men and women. In women, it most commonly develops after pregnancy, hormonal changes, or aging. In men, it often presents as urinary urgency, post-surgical bladder control issues, or chronic pelvic pressure. In both cases, the underlying cause is the same: the pelvic floor muscles are no longer functioning as they should.
Non-invasive pelvic floor treatment uses energy-based technology to stimulate deep muscle contractions and promote neuromuscular re-education, restoring strength and control without surgery, needles, or recovery time.
How We Approach Pelvic Floor Health at Solutions Integrative Wellness
Mary Lynn Papin, ARNP, FNP-C, is a board-certified Family Nurse Practitioner with WorldLink Medical training in functional and integrative medicine. Her approach to pelvic floor health goes beyond treating the symptom: she evaluates contributing factors including hormonal status, metabolic health, and musculoskeletal function to build a complete picture before recommending treatment.
Treatment is delivered using two FDA-cleared technologies from BTL:
- Emsella, which delivers thousands of supramaximal pelvic floor contractions per session using high-intensity focused electromagnetic technology — the patient remains fully clothed throughout
- Emsculpt Neo, used when broader core and pelvic muscle strengthening is needed alongside bladder control treatment
Both modalities are appropriate for men and women. Mary Lynn frequently combines pelvic floor treatment with complementary therapies, such as bioidentical hormone therapy or peptide therapy, when hormonal factors are contributing to symptoms. Learn more about her background on our About page.

Frequently Asked Questions about Pelvic Floor Therapy
No. Pelvic floor dysfunction is common in men, particularly those experiencing urinary urgency, post-prostatectomy bladder control challenges, or chronic pelvic pressure. Both Emsella and Emsculpt Neo are appropriate for male patients, and Mary Lynn designs treatment plans specific to each individual's situation.
Most patients complete 4–6 sessions as a baseline course of treatment. The exact number depends on the severity of symptoms and individual response. Mary Lynn will outline a recommended schedule at your consultation.
Yes. Both Emsella and Emsculpt Neo are non-invasive and do not require anesthesia or sedation. Emsella is performed seated and fully clothed. Most patients describe the sensation as an intense but tolerable muscle contraction.
Emsella and Emsculpt Neo are elective wellness treatments and are not typically covered by insurance plans. FSA and HSA funds are often applicable. Mary Lynn's initial consultation may be separately billable depending on your coverage.
Yes, and it often produces better outcomes when it is. Hormonal imbalances, particularly declining estrogen and testosterone, are a significant driver of pelvic floor weakness in both men and women. Mary Lynn regularly integrates BHRT or peptide therapy alongside pelvic floor treatment for patients where hormonal factors are identified as contributing causes.
