The Wave Chair: Advanced Pelvic Floor Therapy After Prostatectomy
Who Can Benefit from the Wave Chair?
The Wave Chair is particularly helpful for men who:
- Poor control erectile dysfunction
- Premature Ejaculation
- Experience urinary leakage after prostatectomy
- Have difficulty activating their pelvic floor muscles
- Want to accelerate their continence recovery
- Prefer a non‑invasive, comfortable treatment option
- Need additional support alongside traditional exercises
What Is the Wave Chair?
The Wave Chair is a specialised physiotherapy device that uses high intensity electromagnetic stimulation to activate the pelvic floor muscles. It delivers thousands of deep, targeted contractions in a single session — far more than can be achieved with voluntary exercises alone. You remain fully clothed and comfortably seated.
The Wave Chair assists by:
- Strengthening the pelvic floor quickly and efficiently
- Improving urinary control and reducing leakage
- Enhancing muscle coordination during daily activities
- Supporting the external urinary sphincter
- Helping men who struggle to “feel” or activate their pelvic floor
It’s an ideal option for men wanting structured, guided strengthening without discomfort or invasive techniques.
How the Wave Chair Works
During each session:
- You sit on the chair fully clothed
- Electromagnetic pulses stimulate the pelvic floor
- The muscles contract and relax rhythmically
- Each session produces thousands of supramaximal contractions
- There is no pain, no heat, and no downtime
The sessions last for 20 minutes, and you can return to normal activities immediately.
Post‑Prostatectomy Recovery
Regaining bladder control after prostate surgery can feel overwhelming, especially in the early weeks when the pelvic floor is weak and difficult to activate. The Wave Chair offers a modern, non‑invasive way to support your recovery by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles safely and effectively.
Prostatectomy pelvic floor physiotherapy
Pelvic floor physiotherapy post-prostatectomy is essential for accelerating recovery from urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction. It focuses on strengthening the pelvic floor muscles to regain control, usually beginning immediately after catheter removal (often within 48 hours to a few weeks). Programs include targeted exercises, biofeedback, and lifestyle advice to improve bladder management and muscle function.
Key Components of Post-Prostatectomy Physiotherapy
- When to Start: Pre-habilitation (before surgery) is ideal for better, faster recovery. Post-surgery, start exercises as soon as the catheter is removed.
- Goal: Strengthen the pelvic floor muscles to compensate for the removed prostate and regain continence.
What to Expect During Your Appointment
- A private, supportive environment
- A comfortable, fully clothed session
- Progressive strengthening tailored to your needs
Most men describe the sensation as strong but comfortable muscle contractions — unusual at first, but not painful.
