TESLA Functional Magnetic Stimulation
(FMS)
Our TESLAFormer and TESLAChair are ground-breaking medical-grade devices aimed at building strengthening and toning muscles throughout the body, including the pelvic floor and lower back.
How does it work?
In a nutshell, the TESLAFormer and TESLAChair trigger motoric nerves and excite muscle contractions resulting in increased muscle mass and strength. It does this by generating a magnetic field of up to 3 Tesla in strength which can penetrate through clothes, skin and bone to reach the deep tissue. At this point the field is transformed, via induction, into a local electrical field which depolarises the motor nerves sending signals along along the nerve to the muscles forcing them to contract. Muscle contraction is then induced repeatedly without the muscle becoming fatigued. One 30 minute session can induce 50,000 muscle contractions causing the muscle to increase in strength and volume.
What areas can you treat?
The TESLAFormer is perfect for the major muscle groups such as the abs, glutes, hamstrings, calves, biceps and triceps, helping with:

FAQs
Who is the treatment not suitable for?

Pregnant or lactating
Metal implants (such as hip or knee) in or adjacent to the treatment area
Copper IUD
Pacemakers, electronic implants, medication pumps etc.
Cardiac history
Cancer, epilepsy, endometriosis

What happens during a treatment?
You remain fully clothed throughout your treatment – no need to change or undress.
If you’re using the TESLAChair, you are seated comfortably on the chair for the duration of your treatment and the Chair does the work.
If you’re using the TESLAFormer, we attach paddles over the target muscles and, depending on the treatment area, you may be seated or lying face up or face down on the treatment bed.
Once the program has started you will feel your muscles involuntarily contract. We adjust the strength of the contractions to ensure you remain comfortable throughout.
How many treatments will I need?
Between 6 and 10 treatments are recommended. Ideally treatments would be carried out every second day during your course of treatments but a minimum of twice per week is required to achieve maximum results.
Which treatments are right for me?
We offer a complementary, no-obligation consultation so you can get to know us and we can discuss your concerns and what you’d like to achieve. Often there is more than one way to tackle a problem area and together we will customise a treatment plan that suits you and your goals.
