Core Restore Centers has opened in Charleston, South Carolina, as a facility dedicated to treating urinary incontinence with the FDA-cleared Emsella Chair. Ann Peets founded the center in early 2025 to address the needs of men and women experiencing stress, urge, or mixed incontinence through specialized, non-invasive therapy that strengthens pelvic floor muscles using High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic technology.

After a distinguished career launching and managing multi-million-dollar women's health and pharmaceutical lines for global giants such as Novartis, Glaxo Wellcome, and CooperSurgical, Charleston resident Peets turned her expertise and management experience toward implementing a solution to treat urinary incontinence.
Bladder leakage affects millions of men and women, disrupting sleep, limiting physical activity, and eroding confidence in daily life. After years managing medical device and pharmaceutical product lines—including Paragard IUD, surgical instruments for OB/GYNs, and CooperSurgical pessaries—Peets identified this widespread issue as an unmet patient need in women's health. Her experience helping elderly relatives reinforced the demand for effective, accessible solutions that restore quality of life without invasive procedures.
The Emsella Chair uses HIFEM technology to deliver approximately 11,000 to 12,000 supramaximal pelvic floor muscle contractions during a single 30-minute session, equivalent to thousands of Kegel exercises performed well beyond voluntary capacity. According to Core Restore Centers, clinical research shows that 95% of patients reported improved quality of life, and 67% reduced their reliance on hygienic pads. This approach offers measurable outcomes for women seeking alternatives to surgery or traditional exercises that are often difficult to perform correctly or consistently.
Treatment sessions require no preparation and allow patients to remain fully clothed. A typical treatment plan consists of six 28-minute sessions scheduled twice weekly, making the therapy practical for women balancing professional and personal responsibilities. Patients can return immediately to work, exercise, or other activities with no downtime, removing the barriers associated with surgical interventions, anesthesia, or recovery periods.
"Millions of men and women are suffering in silence, relying on diapers or spending months cycling through expensive medications and unapproved wellness gadgets that simply don't work," says Peets. "Bladder leakage ruins sleep, kills confidence, and isolates people. My goal is to use my decades of healthcare experience to give Charleston residents their dignity back through a clinically proven, effortless treatment."
Core Restore Centers is located at 675 Saint Andrews Boulevard in Charleston, just over a mile west of the Route 61 and Folly Road intersection, and offers convenient access from West Ashley, James Island, Johns Island, Folly Beach, Avondale, and the Charleston peninsula. The center operates Monday through Friday from 9 am to 5 pm by appointment, with Saturday appointments also available.
