You gave your body
to motherhood, to time,
to life. Core to Floor
gives it back.
Core to Floor is Le Sommet's dedicated women's restoration program — combining EMSELLA® pelvic floor therapy and EMSCULPT NEO® core strengthening to address the specific losses that pregnancy, childbirth, and hormonal change bring to the female body. Part of Basecamp Core to Floor.
Your Core and Your Pelvic Floor Are Not Two Systems. They Are One.
For women, the inner unit faces specific and cumulative demands that men's bodies simply do not. Pregnancy loads the pelvic floor with the sustained weight of a growing uterus for months, then subjects it to the acute trauma of delivery — whether vaginal or surgical. The hormonal shifts of the postpartum period, perimenopause, and menopause reduce estrogen-dependent tissue elasticity throughout the pelvic floor and abdominal fascia. Breastfeeding suppresses estrogen further. Each life stage takes something.
The result, for many women, is a pelvic floor and core system that has been progressively compromised — producing incontinence, core instability, diastasis recti, chronic back pain, and a general sense that the body no longer responds the way it did before children, before menopause, before everything. Core to Floor addresses this pattern specifically, as the interconnected system it is.
EMSELLA® rebuilds the pelvic floor — the foundation. EMSCULPT NEO® rebuilds the deep abdominals and core — the walls. Together, they restore the entire inner unit as the integrated structure it was designed to be, at an intensity and depth that no voluntary exercise program can replicate.
If your situation involves back pain from injury or surgery, post-surgical muscle loss, or functional strength challenges unrelated to women's health — book a consultation and we'll help you find the right path forward.
The Core to Floor Program
Two FDA-cleared treatments. One integrated program. Each doing something the other cannot — and together, doing something nothing else can.
EMSELLA® uses High Intensity Focused Electromagnetic (HIFEM) energy delivered through a specially designed chair to stimulate deep, supramaximal contractions throughout the entire pelvic floor — fully clothed, completely non-invasive, and with results that most patients begin to notice within the first few sessions. It reaches the full spectrum of pelvic musculature, including the deep stabilizing muscles that Kegel exercises can only partially engage.
- ✓Restores pelvic floor muscle strength and tone
- ✓Rebuilds neuromuscular control for continence
- ✓Reduces or eliminates stress and urge incontinence
- ✓Establishes the foundational support for the entire core system
- ✓Equivalent of 11,200 Kegels per 28-minute session
EMSCULPT NEO® combines radiofrequency energy with HIFEM+ electromagnetic stimulation to simultaneously build deep core muscle mass and reduce residual fat in the abdominal region. It contracts the transversus abdominis and deep spinal stabilizers at an intensity — roughly 20,000 contractions per 30-minute session — that no voluntary exercise can replicate, rebuilding the structural walls that support everything above the pelvic floor.
- ✓Rebuilds deep abdominal and core muscle mass
- ✓Restores core stability and functional strength
- ✓Reduces load on pelvic floor from above
- ✓Addresses diastasis recti (abdominal separation)
- ✓Average 25% increase in muscle mass, 30% fat reduction

A strong pelvic floor reduces compensatory loading on the abdominals — making the EMSCULPT NEO® core work more effective and more sustainable. Strong abdominals reduce the downward pressure on the pelvic floor — making EMSELLA® results more durable. The two treatments don't just coexist in this program; they amplify each other. Patients who do both consistently report a quality of functional restoration — feeling stable, strong, and in control — that neither treatment achieves on its own.
"We don't just want to treat the symptom. We want to give our patients back the version of themselves they remember — and in some cases, one they've never known before."
Who Core to Floor Was Built For
Core to Floor is specifically designed for women dealing with the physical consequences of pregnancy, childbirth, and hormonal change. If you recognize yourself here, this program was made for you.
You had a baby — or multiple babies — and your body simply hasn't been the same since. Your core doesn't engage the way it used to. You leak when you laugh or jump. You've been told to do Kegels and exercises, and you've tried. But something fundamental is still missing, and you're ready for something that actually works.
You work out. You take care of yourself. But despite consistent exercise, you still experience leakage during high-impact activity, your core doesn't feel stable the way it should, and certain movements or sports you love feel off-limits. Your fitness is real but your foundation has a gap that exercise alone isn't closing.
Hormonal decline has quietly changed your pelvic floor strength, your core resilience, and your confidence in your body. Symptoms that didn't exist in your 30s or 40s have arrived without warning. You want a medically credible, non-pharmaceutical path to addressing what age and hormones have taken — and to staying ahead of further decline.
Abdominal separation — the stretching and thinning of the connective tissue between the left and right abdominal muscles — is a direct consequence of pregnancy that affects a significant proportion of women who have carried children. Diastasis recti leaves a gap where there should be structure, contributing to core instability, lower back pain, and a persistent "pooch" that no amount of crunches will resolve. EMSCULPT NEO® strengthens the transversus abdominis — the deep corset muscle that stabilizes the midline — helping to close the gap and restore abdominal integrity from the inside out.
You've adapted your life around the symptoms. You plan outings around bathrooms. You wear pads as a daily precaution. You avoid certain workouts, avoid jumping, avoid laughing too hard. You've accepted all of this as the price of being a woman who has had children or gone through menopause. Core to Floor is for the woman who is done accepting that price — and ready to invest six weeks in changing it fundamentally.
Core to Floor is specifically for women dealing with postpartum and hormonal pelvic floor and core changes. If you're dealing with chronic back pain, post-surgical rehabilitation, hip or knee replacement recovery, or general functional strength loss — please book a consultation and we will help you find the right path forward.
Book a Consultation →How the Program Works
Core to Floor is a structured, sequenced program — not two separate treatment purchases. The timing and coordination of the two treatments is deliberate, and built around your schedule and your body's response.
EMSELLA® sessions begin the program — rebuilding pelvic floor strength and establishing the neuromuscular coordination that everything above it depends on. The foundation must be activated before the structure above it can be effectively loaded.
EMSELLA® · 6 sessions · 2× per weekEMSCULPT NEO® sessions are introduced — rebuilding deep abdominal and core muscle mass while the pelvic floor continues to strengthen. Both treatments run concurrently during this phase, reinforcing each other in real time and creating the integrated strengthening effect that defines the Core to Floor difference.
Both treatments · Concurrent sessionsAs both treatment series complete, your body continues the strengthening process — neuromuscular gains develop for weeks following the final sessions. A check-in assessment at 8–12 weeks evaluates outcomes and determines whether maintenance sessions are appropriate to sustain your results long-term.
Results check · Maintenance planningThe exact session count and scheduling for your Core to Floor program is determined at your consultation — based on the severity of your symptoms, your baseline strength, your schedule, and your goals. No two programs are identical. Every Core to Floor plan is built specifically for you.
The Core to Floor Transformation
Not just what the treatments do — but what they mean for how you move through the world. Here is what patients who complete the Core to Floor program consistently report.
The mental overhead of incontinence — planning every outing around bathrooms, avoiding certain activities, changing behaviors you've built around a symptom — diminishes as pelvic floor control returns. Many patients describe this as the most profound change: not the physical improvement, but the mental freedom it creates.
The feeling of a functional, responsive core — stability when you move, power when you exercise, ease in movements that used to require effort — returns progressively across the program. Patients often describe it as feeling like "themselves again" in a way that goes beyond the specific symptoms being treated.
Running. Jumping. High-impact exercise. Trampoline parks with your kids. Laughing without worrying. Sneezing without bracing. Traveling without strategic planning. The activities that incontinence and core weakness quietly removed from your life begin to return — one by one, and then all at once.
For patients whose back pain has roots in core and pelvic floor dysfunction — which research suggests is a significant proportion of chronic cases — the rebuilding of the inner unit often produces meaningful back pain relief that targeted back treatments alone never achieved. The pain was a symptom. The foundation was the cause.
EMSCULPT NEO®'s documented 25% average increase in muscle mass and 30% fat reduction produces a visible improvement in abdominal tone and definition — not as the primary goal of this program, but as a meaningful additional benefit that patients consistently appreciate. Rebuilding your inner unit also rebuilds what the world sees.
Perhaps most significantly — patients who complete Core to Floor often describe a fundamental shift in how they experience their own body. Not just the absence of symptoms, but the presence of capability. Strength. Control. Confidence. A body that feels like an ally again, rather than a limitation to be managed around.
