Sit. Strengthen. Smile: How HEIMS Therapy at Lake Norman Integrative Wellness Can Transform Pelvic Health

At Lake Norman Integrative Wellness, our mission is to restore health and confidence through safe, effective, and non-invasive therapies. One of our newest offerings is HEIMS therapy—High-Intensity Electromagnetic Muscle Stimulation—delivered comfortably through our state-of-the-art Stimseat device.

Answering “What is HEIMS therapy?”

HEIMS therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses focused electromagnetic energy to trigger thousands of pelvic floor contractions, strengthening muscles, improving bladder control, and restoring core stability—all while the patient sits comfortably, fully clothed.

This advanced technology strengthens the pelvic floor muscles by triggering thousands of deep, powerful contractions, all while you remain fully clothed and seated. For patients struggling with urinary leakage, urgency, core instability, or intimacy concerns, HEIMS therapy can be life-changing.

Why Pelvic Floor Health Matters

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support your pelvic organs, control bladder and bowel function, stabilize your core, and contribute to sexual health.

These muscles often weaken due to pregnancy, childbirth, surgery, weight changes, hormonal shifts, or aging. When this happens, symptoms such as stress incontinence, urgency, or pelvic instability may appear. For many people, these issues can be frustrating, embarrassing, and life-limiting.

Traditional Kegel exercises can help—but only if performed consistently and correctly, which is challenging for most patients. HEIMS therapy offers a far more efficient and effective solution.

How HEIMS Therapy Works

HEIMS therapy uses focused electromagnetic energy to induce what are called supramaximal contractions of the pelvic floor. In a single 20- to 30-minute session, patients experience the equivalent of more than 12,000 Kegels—something impossible to achieve voluntarily.

• Comfortable: You simply sit on the Stimseat device, fully clothed, while the therapy does the work.
• Non-invasive: No surgery, no needles, no recovery time.
• Adjustable: Intensity can be tailored to your comfort level and treatment goals.
• Effective: These deep contractions strengthen and re-educate the muscles, restoring tone, endurance, and coordination.

Benefits for Women

Women are especially likely to experience pelvic floor weakness after pregnancy or during menopause. HEIMS therapy can help restore confidence and quality of life by:

• Reducing or eliminating stress urinary incontinence
• Improving urgency and frequency symptoms
• Enhancing core stability
• Supporting greater sexual wellness

---

Benefits for Men

Pelvic floor health is equally important for men. Weakness in these muscles can occur with age, after surgery (such as prostate procedures), or due to lifestyle factors.

For men, HEIMS therapy may help with:

• Improved bladder control
• Reduced leakage or dribbling
• Better pelvic stability
• Enhanced sexual function and confidence

• Session length: 20–30 minutes
• Course of care: 2 sessions per week for about 6 sessions
• During treatment: Sit comfortably on the Stimseat device while electromagnetic energy stimulates your pelvic floor. Most patients describe the sensation as unusual but not painful. Many read, scroll their phone, or simply relax during the session.

Why Choose Lake Norman Integrative Wellness?

We brought HEIMS therapy to our clinic because it fits perfectly with our philosophy: treating the root cause, supporting natural healing, and offering non-invasive solutions.

Rather than masking symptoms with medications or resorting to surgery, HEIMS therapy retrains and strengthens the pelvic floor itself—giving patients real, lasting improvements.

Our team combines HEIMS therapy with functional medicine, nutritional counseling, IV therapy, ozone, and other integrative tools to support your health from every angle.

Is HEIMS Therapy Right for You?

You may be a good candidate if you experience:

• Urinary leakage when you laugh, cough, sneeze, or exercise
• Frequent or urgent trips to the bathroom
• Core weakness or pelvic discomfort
• Changes after pregnancy or surgery
• Concerns with sexual health related to pelvic floor function

The first step is a personalized consultation with our care team. We’ll review your health history, symptoms, and goals to determine whether HEIMS therapy is right for you.
