Why Kegel Exercises Don’t Always Work
Kegels can help, yes. They’re great for strengthening your pelvic floor muscles but they only go so far. When there’s structural weakness or loss of elasticity, no amount of squeezing at traffic lights will fully repair what’s changed underneath.
That’s because some of the deeper muscle tightness or vaginal wall issues can’t be fixed with basic at-home exercises alone. Sometimes, a little more support is needed.
Enter EmpowerRF. A non-surgical treatment that helps restore tone, strength and confidence from the inside out.
EmpowerRF: Repair Without Surgery, Support Without Shame
At Oracle Clinics Carlisle, we use EmpowerRF as part of a personalised treatment plan to address pelvic floor repair, vaginal laxity and other intimate health concerns. It’s a radiofrequency treatment paired with EMS (electrical muscle stimulation), designed to strengthen internal muscles and rebuild collagen in the vaginal canal and surrounding tissue.
In plain English? Think of it as a highly effective, no-hormone workout for your internal scaffolding.
Here’s what it can help with:
- Stimulating collagen production for firmer, more elastic tissue
- Improving circulation and natural lubrication
- Reducing bladder leaks
- Supporting pelvic organ prolapse
- Enhancing comfort and confidence during intimacy
All with minimal discomfort, no invasive procedures and no downtime.
This Isn’t Just a ‘Mum Problem’
While EmpowerRF is an excellent option post-birth, even years later, it’s just as helpful for women in perimenopause or menopause. As oestrogen levels fall, the tissue of the labia majora and vaginal walls can thin, leading to dryness, irritation and a decline in sensation.
This can affect your intimate life, your daily activities and even how you feel about your own body. EmpowerRF helps you feel supported again, whatever stage of life you’re in.
It’s also a suitable option if you’ve tried laser vaginal tightening in the past and want a more comprehensive, muscle-focused approach.
What Does It Feel Like?
Most patients describe the experience as a warm, gentle sensation — not painful, just unusual at first. We use clinical-grade radiofrequency treatments and vaginal dilators, tailored to your anatomy and comfort level. The focus is always on patient safety and minimising discomfort.
You’ll be treated in a private space by someone who understands the physical and emotional side of these issues. You won’t be rushed, and you won’t be told to “just do a few more pelvic floor exercises.”
Will I Need to Take Time Off?
Not at all. This is a true walk-in, walk-out treatment. There’s no recovery time and no need to cancel your day. Some patients notice a slight increase in sensitivity or warmth afterwards, but it won’t stop you from getting on with life.
You’ll start to notice full effects building over a few sessions, with results like better bladder control, increased comfort and renewed intimacy becoming more noticeable as your tissue responds and strengthens.
Who Is This For?
EmpowerRF is for any woman who feels like something’s changed and wants to feel stronger and more confident again. It’s ideal for:
- Vaginal tightening after childbirth
- Symptoms linked to pelvic organ prolapse
- Issues with lubrication or painful intimacy
- Mild incontinence or bladder control concerns
- Anyone who feels like they’ve lost tone, strength or sensation
If you’ve ever been told it’s “just part of getting older,” it’s time to hear something different.
You Deserve to Feel Comfortable Again
This isn’t about reversing the clock or chasing perfection. It’s about helping your body feel like yours again. Whether you’ve recently had a baby or you’re deep into your menopause journey, this treatment gives you the support you might not even realise you’ve been missing.
We’re here to offer solutions, not sympathy. EmpowerRF is a clinically proven, non-surgical cosmetic procedure that puts control and comfort back in your hands.
