Pelvic Floor Dysfunction & Urinary Incontinence: Regain Control, Regain Confidence
Experience the Gazelle Pelvic Health Chair — a painless, FDA-cleared treatment that rebuilds pelvic floor strength and stops urinary leakage, all while you remain fully clothed!
The Silent Struggle No One Talks About
Women
If you’re a woman who’s ever crossed your legs when you sneezed, avoided jumping on a trampoline with your kids, or mapped out every restroom before a road trip — you’re not alone.
Urinary leakage and pelvic floor weakness affect millions of women, yet it’s rarely talked about. For many, it starts after childbirth. Muscles stretch, nerves weaken, and what used to feel strong and effortless… doesn’t anymore. For others, it’s the natural aging process — hormones shift, tissues lose elasticity, and simple things like laughing, lifting, or walking can suddenly feel unpredictable.
The frustration runs deep — not just the inconvenience, but the loss of confidence. You stop wearing certain clothes. You avoid exercise classes. You hesitate to travel. And worst of all, you stop feeling like yourself.
But this isn’t something you have to “just live with.” Modern pelvic health technology has changed everything — allowing women to rebuild strength, control, and confidence without surgery, downtime, or discomfort.
Because no woman should have to choose between living her life and feeling in control of her body.
MEN
For men, talking about bladder control issues can feel uncomfortable — even embarrassing. It’s one of those things no one wants to admit, yet it quietly affects daily life. Whether it’s leakage after prostate surgery, urgency that keeps you up at night, or unexpected accidents during a round of golf or at work — it chips away at your confidence and freedom.
You might plan your day around the nearest restroom or avoid long drives and social events altogether. Even intimacy can start to feel stressful instead of natural. Over time, the frustration builds — not just from the inconvenience, but from feeling like your body is letting you down.
But here’s the truth: incontinence isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s often the result of weakened pelvic floor muscles or disrupted nerve communication — and both can be retrained.
Today’s advanced pelvic floor therapies use non-invasive technology to strengthen and restore control, helping you reclaim the confidence and freedom you deserve. No surgery. No embarrassment. No downtime.
Because you shouldn’t have to live your life by the clock of your bladder — you should be living it on your own terms.
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 Sarasota Diabetes & Neuropathy 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 lifting
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

FAQs
Your Questions Answered:
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.
