Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Ultra Tesla Seat work?
The Ultra Tesler Seat uses High Intensity focused Electromagnetic Muscle Therapy (HI-EMT) also known as magnetic muscle stimulation. HI-EMT is the external induction of muscle contractions by activating the motor neurons, which then contract the muscles in the pelvic floor area. This technology brings deep pelvic floor muscle stimulation, restoration and re-education of neurological muscular control.
In simple terms it contracts specific pelvic floor muscles, works them so they rebuild, become stronger whilst reminding them what they are supposed to do. Thus after a course of treatment you will have better control over the function of these muscles and the benefits that accompany it.
How will it feel to use the Ultra Tesla Seat?
It will feel different. Remember we normally consciously do kegels such that we know what to expect. We all know what that feeling is as we draw the pelvic muscles up and in. The Ultra Tesla seat uses HI-EMT to contract your muscles for you at high pace and a higher intensity, you will feel the contractions. You may feel tingling and this may feel a little strange at first and you will get used to it quite quickly. It will not hurt and of course we adjust to your comfort level.
How many sessions will I need?
We say 6 - 8 sessions are typically needed and further sessions may be required depending on what we are addressing on an individual basis.
The protocol is 2 sessions a week for 3 - 4 weeks. The effectiveness of the rebuilding of the pelvic muscles for strength and muscle memory comes from the consecutive nature of the sessions, the intensity and the number of sessions. I liken it to going to the gym for the first time after a long time. Each time you go and work the muscle harder than they are used to, they breakdown and weaken and then they rebuild stronger to adapt to the increased load. You have to do this repeatedly until the muscle can adapt and deal with the load being applied.
We encourage you to plan your treatment regime at the start, book in the dates and stick with them. Yes it is a commitment but it is totally worth it and can quiet easily be life changing.
