B-Pulse: A Better Way to Manage Incontinence
Bladder leakage affects the quality of life of millions of individuals worldwide. The good news is that recent technological advancements have made non-invasive and effective treatments available. New treatments, such as B-Pulse therapy, offer hope for individuals who have not responded well to traditional options.
What is Incontinence?
Incontinence is the involuntary loss of bladder control, ranging from mild leaks to a complete inability to control urination. It can occur because of various reasons, such as:
- Weak pelvic floor muscles
- Aging
- Childbirth or pregnancy
- Prostate conditions in men
- Neurological disorders
Bladder leakage is a common symptom of incontinence. Traditional treatment for incontinence may involve medications or invasive procedures, but B-Pulse offers a non-surgical alternative.
What is a B-Pulse Chair?
The B-Pulse chair is a muscle stimulation device to strengthen the pelvic floor and glute muscles. High-intensity electromagnetic stimulates muscle contractions that mimic those achieved through traditional pelvic exercises. However, these contractions are much more intense and occur more frequently, leading to faster and more impressive results.
Clinical studies have shown that regular use of the B-Pulse chair improves urinary control, enhances pelvic strength, and boosts the quality of life for incontinent patients.
How Does B-Pulse Treatment Work?
During a B-pulse session, you sit fully clothed on the chair while the device delivers pulses that target the pelvic region. Many people choose this treatment for the following reasons:
- Painless and Non-Invasive - No needles, surgery, or medications are required.
- Convenient - A session typically lasts 30 minutes, and patients can return to normal activities immediately after.
- Effective - Many users notice improvements after just a few sessions.
- Customized Treatment - Each session is tailored to the patient’s needs.
Who Can Benefit from B-Pulse Treatment?
The B-Pulse chair is suitable for a wide range of individuals experiencing incontinence or bladder leakage, including:
- Women recovering from childbirth
- Men dealing with prostate-related incontinence
- Seniors experiencing age-related pelvic floor weakness
- Individuals with stress incontinence caused by physical activity
It’s best to consult a healthcare provider to determine whether B-Pulse is the right option.
What to Expect Before, During, and After B-Pulse Treatment
If you’re considering B-Pulse therapy to help manage incontinence or improve pelvic floor strength, here’s what you can expect throughout the process:
Before the Treatment
During the initial consultation, they will assess your medical history, specific symptoms of incontinence, and any other health conditions that might affect treatment. This helps determine if B-Pulse is a suitable treatment option for you. Then, your healthcare provider will create a treatment plan based on your needs.
One benefit of B-Pulse therapy is that it requires very little preparation. You can continue your usual activities and routines leading to your first session. There’s no need for fasting or any invasive procedures.
During Treatment
B-Pulse therapy is non-invasive; sessions are usually conducted in a comfortable chair or reclined position. You’ll be asked to sit back and relax while the treatment begins.
The B-Pulse treatment is pain-free and feels like a gentle pulsing or tingling sensation in the targeted areas. Each session lasts 20 to 30 minutes, depending on your treatment plan.
Post-Treatment Care and Results
There’s no recovery time required after each session. Most patients can resume their normal activities immediately after the treatment. After a B-Pulse session, you may feel some mild muscle soreness in the targeted areas, similar to the feeling after a light workout. But this is temporary and goes away within a day or two.
While some people notice improvements in bladder control and pelvic strength after just a few sessions, it often takes several treatments to experience significant results. Some patients may need occasional follow-up sessions to maintain the benefits of B-pulse therapy.
The strength of the pelvic floor muscles typically improves over time, leading to better bladder function and reduced incontinence symptoms.
B-Pulse vs. Other Treatments for Incontinence
Incontinence is common, but the good news is that various treatments are available to manage and improve symptoms. The proper treatment depends on the type and severity of incontinence and individual health factors.
Let’s compare B-Pulse to some other common treatments:
Combining B-Pulse with Other Treatments
For optimal results, the B-Pulse chair can be combined with other treatments, such as:
- Avoiding bladder irritants like caffeine and alcohol.
- Practicing Kegels to complement electromagnetic stimulation.
- Maintaining a healthy weight and staying hydrated.
FAQs About B-Pulse and Incontinence Treatment
Is the B-Pulse chair safe?
Yes, it’s Health Canada and FDA-cleared and proven to be a safe, non-invasive option for treating incontinence.
How many sessions are required?
The number of B-Pulse sessions needed varies depending on individual needs and incontinence severity. On average, patients require 6 to 8 sessions, typically spaced a few days apart. Your healthcare provider will assess your condition and develop a personalized treatment plan for optimal results.

While the results from B-Pulse can be long-lasting, they are not permanent without occasional maintenance. Regular follow-up sessions can help sustain muscle strength and prevent the return of symptoms.
