Planning your visits from Burlington
Typical drive: 15–25 minutes (~20 km). Take Dundas Street (Hwy 5) east straight into Oakville and turn onto Third Line, or hop on the QEW to Third Line northbound — the clinic sits beside Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital with free on-site parking.
Burlington is our closest neighbouring city — from most of north Burlington, Dundas Street brings you door-to-door in under 20 minutes, often faster than crossing Burlington itself in rush hour.
Without a carCar-free is realistic from Burlington: GO Transit's Lakeshore West line runs from Aldershot, Burlington and Appleby stations to Bronte GO — the next stop east — and a rideshare from Bronte GO to Hospital Gate takes about ten minutes.
Best times to bookDundas Street is at its slowest between roughly 7:30 and 9 a.m. and again from 4 to 6 p.m. Outside those windows the drive is short enough that many Burlington patients book a mid-morning or early-afternoon slot and are home well inside an hour and a half.
What the course adds up to from BurlingtonEmsella is a course, not a single visit. 8 sessions over about four weeks means 8 round trips from Burlington — roughly 4–6½ hours on the road in total across the whole course, at 30–50 minutes per round trip. Add the 28-minute session and each visit fits inside a long lunch break.

Emsella for Burlington patients: what to know
Leaks when you laugh, sneeze, lift or run
Stress urinary incontinence is the most common kind of leak: pressure inside the abdomen spikes — a cough, a jump, picking up a toddler — and the pelvic floor can't close the urethra fast or firmly enough to hold it. It has nothing to do with willpower and everything to do with muscle strength, timing and support.
Emsella works on exactly that. Each 28-minute session drives roughly 11,000 contractions through the whole pelvic floor, training the fast-responding fibres that voluntary Kegels rarely reach. The course is 8 sessions over about four weeks, and the treatment has been clinically studied for stress, urge and mixed incontinence.
The sudden urge, the constant planning and the 2 a.m. bathroom trips
Urge incontinence and an overactive bladder feel different from stress leaks: the bladder signals “now” with little warning, sometimes when it's barely full, and night-time trips start to fragment your sleep. Many people quietly map every washroom on their route long before they mention it to anyone.
A stronger, better-coordinated pelvic floor can help calm those signals — a pelvic floor contraction is one of the first-line urge-suppression strategies — and Emsella has been studied for urge and mixed incontinence alongside stress leaks. At your consultation we also look at the everyday contributors: fluid timing, caffeine, constipation and bladder habits.
