From Sidelines to Soccer Fields: How EmSculpt NEO and EmSella Transformed My Postpartum Life at Capital Health
As a mom of three active boys—ages eleven, nine, and six—I know how much motherhood changes your body. It’s not the same one you had before. After a tough birth with my youngest, Caspian, I was left with serious pelvic floor issues and abdominal separation (diastasis recti).
I tried everything: workouts, physical therapy, the usual approaches. They helped, but only to a point. I still couldn’t move freely without pain.
I wanted to be part of life with my boys whether that is running, hiking, playing soccer. But my pelvic floor held me back. Jumping or kicking meant sharp pain and urinary leaks. After kicking a soccer ball, I’d sometimes feel pain that lasted all day. It felt like something inside me was being pulled the wrong way. It was exhausting and frustrating.
A Game-Changer in Des Moines: Capital Health’s Core to Floor Treatment
Then I found Capital Health in Des Moines. They offered EmSculpt NEO and EmSella, a combination designed to rebuild your core and pelvic floor. It sounded like the breakthrough I needed.
I signed up for both. This Core to Floor approach felt like the next logical step. I was ready to reclaim my body.
The Power Duo: Emsculpt NEO & Emsella
EmSculpt NEO uses radiofrequency and high-intensity electromagnetic energy to build muscle and burn fat. For my extreme diastasis recti, it helped close the abdominal gap and restore my core strength.
EmSella is a non-invasive chair that delivers thousands of pelvic floor contractions in one session. It targets the muscles responsible for continence and stability.
My Journey Back to Strength
After just two EmSella sessions, I kicked a soccer ball with my boys and felt no pain. I couldn’t believe it. Four sessions in, I felt even stronger. A month and a half after my last session, the change feels huge.
Before, I stood on the sidelines while my older boys played. Now, I’m on the sideline kicking a soccer ball back and forth with my six-year-old for an entire game, no leaks, no pain. Just fun.
EmSculpt NEO made a massive difference too. My abs are more defined, but more importantly, I feel stronger. I carry my kids with ease. I move through yoga poses with better balance and form. My body works the way it’s supposed to.
I don’t compensate during workouts anymore. My core stabilizes me, and I feel it during every run, stretch, and lift.
What I’ve learned? Your core and pelvic floor are a team. When they’re strong and working together, everything else improves: your strength, your mobility, even your confidence.
I used to watch from the sidelines. Now, I’m running beside my kids, chasing the ball, laughing, and fully present.
If you’re a mom in Des Moines struggling with diastasis recti or pelvic floor issues, and nothing else has worked, try this. The Core to Floor treatment at Capital Health gave me back my body. And it gave me back my life.
