Tesla Former Treatment
What Is Tesla Former?
Tesla Former uses “FMS“ TECHNOLOGY – Functional magnetic stimulation.
It was developed by Iskra Medical for strengthening muscle . The pulsed magnetic field generated by the device causes the muscles to contract without skin contact (meaning that you can have treatment fully clothed).
FMS is an effective way to build muscles and contour the body. FMS treatment increases the strength and endurance of the muscles and increases their need for energy.
This leads to fat reduction because energy from local fat tissue is used for muscle energy. Importantly, Tesla treatments painlessly exercise muscles many times more effectively than normal exercise – around 1,500 muscle contractions in 30 minutes is typical
It is important to understand that there are four main types of patient who will benefit from Tesla Forma treatments
- Patients wanting to tone up the body for body sculpting reasons, to increase fat loss, increaase muscle size or increase muscle strength. Treatments areas include the glutes for Butt Lifting, abdomen, legs and arms.
- Patients with Chronic back pain – The TeslaForma Chair is highly effective at treating chronic back pain without drugs and for strengthening the back muscles to prevent relapse.
- Patients wishing to strengthen the pelvic floor. TeslaForma chair treatments are highly effective drug free treatments for urinary incontinence and sexual function in women and men, including stress and urge incontinence, post pregnancy issues, prostate issues and erectile dysfunction.
- Rehabilitation. Teslaforma can be used to strengthen muscles around injuries. For example to strengthen and exercise the thigh muscles for knee joint propblems without load bearing.
WHAT DOES THE TREATMENT INVOLVE?
TESLAFormer™ is an in and out procedure, non-invasive and no downtime. Treatments take 15-30 minutes and there is zero downtime. You will be seated or laying down fully clothed
WHO IS IT SUITABLE FOR?
TESLAFormer™ is suitable for anyone who wants to tone and strengthen muscle. Best results for body toning are seen from people who maintain relative fitness and a healthy lifestyle. The Tesla Chair is suitable for anyone with pelvic floor weakness.
WHAT AREAS DOES THE TESLAFORMER™ TREAT
- Abdomen
- Gluteus muscles (Butt lifting)
- Hamstring and quads – for knee joint issuesand rehab
- Arms – biceps and triceps
- Pelvic floor – male and female incontinence, sexual function, erectile dysfunction
- Chronic back pain
- You can apply it on any muscle except in the chest area and head.

Functional magnetic nerve stimulation is a method of stimulating nerves that does not rely on the passage of electric current through electrodes and the skin.
- Rapid changes of magnetic field intensity induce an electrical current in the neuron.
- This phenomenon is called electromagnetic induction. Once the current reaches a certain value, a neuron action potential is achieved.
- This causes the neuron cell to depolarize, which leads to a complete muscle contraction.
Comparing it to electric stimulation magnetic fields are less painful, allow deep penetration into heterogeneous biological tissue and do not require skin contact. FMS does not stimulate pain nerves on the skin surface and is therefore more pleasant than classic electrical stimulation.
Magnetic fields pass through clothes, tissue and bone on the way to otherwise inaccessible areas. FMS creates magnetic fields deep inside the body and thus stimulates muscles that cannot be reached using electrical stimulation.
WHAT IS THE TECHNOLOGY?
A special magnetic field is generated by a pulse of current inside the Tesla Electro-Magnetic Mechanism, and this induces a current that triggers the motor nerve system of the body, stimulating the targeted muscles to contract, and helping to boost circulation and nutrition.
WHAT IS THE TREATMENT COURSE?
Generally a minimum of 4 treatment sessions. More usually, 6 – 10 treatments are recommended. Therapy is performed two or three times per week for thirty minutes. Therapy is performed two or three times per week.
DOES IT HURT?
Absolutely not. Intensity is adjusted to always keep the treatment comfortable and many people find the sensation quite pleasant.
IS THERE ANY DOWNTIME?
None at all. There may be some muscle fatigue and muscle ache after treatment but this is generally minimal.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?
There are no known side effects.
WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF FMS TECHNOLOGY?
- Allows deep penetration into tissue
- FMS allows stimulation of deep muscle structures that cannot be reached by other modalities
- FMS is painless, noninvasive and thus suitable for patients where other technologies cannot be used
- FMS effectively stimulates muscle tissue without direct skin contact – you are treated fully clothed.
- No negative side effects are known in the literature as long as contraindications are taken into account
WHO CANNOT BE TREATED?
- Pregnancy
- Cancer
- Complete muscle tear at or near the site of stimulation
- Cardiac pacemakers
- Severe active pulmonary conditions
- Medication pumps
- Implants made of ferromagnetic metal at or near the site of stimulation
- Open wounds at or near the site of stimulation
- Cardiac arrhythmia
- Recent surgery
- Clients with high BMI will have muscles developed behind the layer of fat tissue so there will be result but hidden to the eye of observer.
