Faecal incontinence: finding strength again – iWellness
When people hear the word ‘incontinence,’ most think only of bladder leakage. Faecal incontinence, however, is just as common and often even more difficult to talk about.
For some, it starts with trouble controlling gas, while for others it follows surgery, childbirth, or simply the natural changes that come with age.
“No matter the cause of faecal incontinence, the impact is real,” says Oana Macarie, clinician at iWellness. “It erodes confidence, creates anxiety and holds people back from living fully.”
At iWellness in Christchurch, they believe no one should struggle with this condition in silence and over the past two years, they have supported many clients with bowel incontinence. “We have consistently seen this group achieve some of the fastest and most life-changing results through the use of our Emsella Chair,” says Oana. “This breakthrough technology strengthens not only the pelvic floor, but also the sphincter muscles that play a vital role in bowel control. Clients tell us the difference is remarkable: less urgency, greater control, and a renewed sense of freedom in daily life.”
Treatments with the Emsella Chair are completely non-invasive. You simply sit, fully clothed, in the chair for 30 minutes while it does the work through high-intensity electromagnetic stimulation. It’s a simple step that can bring profound change.
