Pulsed EMF also known as Magnet Therapy for Pelvic Floor Disorders & Chronic Pelvic Pain (CPP)
Almost 50% of women suffer from chronic pelvic floor disorders. Men can experience this too but the percentage is lower. Symptoms include uncontrollable bowel movements, frequent urination, urinary incontinence, pain during sex, low to no orgasms, and loss of pelvic mobility. Mainstream medicine treats this as “normal” aging because it is so common, especially in the 45 year old plus ranges.
If you feel like you need to brace yourself once a sneeze is coming on to avoid embarrassing “accidents” then you probable have weak pelvic floor muscles that can be reawakened. I am all about Biohacking and upgrading one’s quality of living and healthy aging.
Biohacks are things we can do that supports optimal inflammatory response, enhance relaxation, improve sleep quality, improve brain function and improve body structure (fat to lean muscle mass ratios, strength, etc.), increase resiliency, longevity, and decrease chronic pain.
My top biohacks for pelvic pain include:
Laser Therapy. Stem cells are becoming a mainstay treatment for chronic pain and athletic injuries. Laser therapy can be used as a biologic agent to increase stem cells and blood platelets to help manage bony and soft tissue conditions. I especially like laser therapy for those who experience coccyx pain or sacroiliac area pain.
Pulsed EMF (Magnet therapy). Clinical evidence lends support for PEMF. The benefits of ‘Magawaving’ include: it stimulates electrical changes — around and within the cell; Activates and promotes cell regeneration; can alleviate the symptoms of arthritis; improves circulation; can help relieve the symptoms of depression, pelvic floor issues, and it promotes bone healing.
Pulse wave Therapy also known as Shockwave Therapy. Research investigating the role of shockwave therapy for chronic tendon injuries such as Achilles tendon and plantar fasciitis is ongoing and positive. I like seeing the results I get helping break up scar tissue and improve range of motion with my 3 different types of shockwave machines. There is evidence that this is helpful for CPP because of scar tissue build up. I currently use it on patients for this condition.
Diet & Nutrition. We discuss foods that support and nourish your body so that it does its job properly – helping you increase energy, lose weight, reduce nagging and unpleasant symptoms, improve your mood, and have more vitality.
I use ELDOA exercises. This is way beyond Kegel stuff you’ve already learned. These poses will create space in the spine and help you improve your posture and feel better.

Please don’t feel like you need to suffer in silence. Let’s try do something about it without risky surgery, effects of medication, and let’s keep it less costly.
