How the Ultra Tesla Chair Works

The Ultra Tesla Chair

The Ultra Tesla Chair is a gentle, non-invasive treatment designed to strengthen the pelvic floor using advanced High-Intensity Electromagnetic Therapy, often known as 'HI-EMT'.

It is widely used to support people experiencing pelvic floor weakness, urinary incontinence, faecal incontinence, and certain sexual health concerns. Because treatment is carried out while you remain fully clothed and comfortably seated, it offers a reassuring and accessible approach to pelvic floor rehabilitation without the need for invasive procedures.

The Science Behind the Technology

The technology behind the Ultra Tesla Chair is based on a well-established scientific principle known as Faraday’s Law of Electromagnetic Induction, first discovered by Michael Faraday in 1831.

In simple terms, changing magnetic fields can create small electrical currents within the body. These currents stimulate the motor neurons responsible for muscle contractions.

When applied to the pelvic floor, this creates deep, involuntary contractions that are far stronger than those achieved through voluntary exercises alone. This process forms the foundation of modern functional magnetic stimulation, which has been used in rehabilitation medicine for many years.

Designed to Target the Pelvic Floor Effectively

HI-EMT technology has evolved through decades of research in neurological and orthopaedic rehabilitation. Over time, clinicians and engineers have refined the technology to precisely target the pelvic floor muscles, including the levator ani and surrounding support structures.

The aim is to create powerful muscle contractions while keeping treatment completely comfortable for the patient.

The Ultra Tesla Chair combines medical-grade electromagnetic technology with carefully controlled safety systems and an ergonomic design that supports the body in the ideal treatment position throughout each session.

What Happens During Treatment?

During treatment, the electromagnetic energy passes through clothing and soft tissue to reach the pelvic floor muscles directly.

This stimulates rapid contractions that are significantly more powerful than traditional Kegel exercises. These contractions help to:

1. Strengthen pelvic floor muscles

2. Improve muscle tone and coordination

3. Enhance circulation and tissue oxygenation

4. Support overall pelvic stability and control.

Each session can generate more than 12,000 supramaximal muscle contractions, creating a level of stimulation that would be difficult to achieve through exercise alone.

Safe, Comfortable and Non-Invasive

One of the key benefits of HI-EMT therapy is its strong safety profile. The treatment does not generate heat, meaning there is no risk of burns or tissue damage. It also does not use ionising radiation and is considered safe for repeated use.

Because patients remain fully clothed throughout treatment, there is no direct skin contact and no downtime afterwards. The device continuously monitors energy levels and temperature during the session to ensure comfort and safety at all times.

Clinical studies consistently show that electromagnetic pelvic floor stimulation is well tolerated, with minimal to no side effects reported.

The Benefits of Treatment

Research into HI-EMT therapy continues to demonstrate positive improvements in pelvic floor strength and muscle control. Many patients report:

-Reduced urinary incontinence symptoms

-Improved bladder control

-Better pelvic stability and support

-Enhanced confidence and quality of life-Improved intimate wellness and circulation.

Postpartum patients often notice improved pelvic tone and strength, while both men and women benefit from greater muscle control and function over time.

A Modern Approach to Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

The Ultra Tesla Chair offers a clinically supported, non-surgical approach to pelvic floor rehabilitation. Treatment is painless, requires no recovery time, and fits easily into everyday life.

Suitable for both men and women, it can be used as a standalone treatment or alongside a wider rehabilitation plan.

At The Pelvic Therapy Suite, we are proud to offer a safe, effective, and compassionate approach to pelvic health, helping you strengthen, support, and sustain your pelvic wellbeing.
