The Power of Body Toning for your Muscle and Pelvic Floor Health: A Comprehensive Guide

What is Body Toning?

Body toning is the process of enhancing muscle definition and firmness, leading to a more sculpted and well-defined physique. It goes beyond mere weight loss, focusing on building lean muscle mass and improving overall body composition and posture. Body toning is essential not just for aesthetic reasons but also for boosting physical strength, ones’ metabolism, health and overall well-being. Using a body toning device can be a great way to (re)build muscles, for example after a pregnancy, to stop and prevent incontinence, to recover from sports and other injuries, or to simply give your body a little boost in addition to your gym routine.

The Science Behind Body Toning

Body toning involves the targeted activation of muscle groups to increase muscle mass and reduce fat. This can be achieved through strength training, resistance exercises or advanced technological devices. Some of us might still remember the gimmicky “butterfly-stickers” worn under shirts to make our bellies jiggle with light electric current, in the hope of burning fat that way. The professional methods used for muscle toning include Electrical Muscle Stimulation (EMS) and the Functional Magnetic System (FMS), but they operate differently.

What is the Difference Between EMS and FMS?

EMS uses electrical currents to stimulate muscle contractions, whereas FMS uses magnetic fields to achieve deeper and more comprehensive muscle activation. FMS is often considered more effective due to its ability to target deeper muscle tissues without causing discomfort.

EMS (electrical muscle stimulation) stimulates muscle contractions through electric current via paddles placed on the skin. Whilst this technology did lay a nice foundation for the field of body toning, it is limited in the level of muscle depth it can reach. Also, many people describe professional EMS treatments as uncomfortable and even painful.

Functional Magnetic Stimulation (FMS) is today’s leading body toning technology. It works by stimulating muscles through magnetic fields, leading to involuntary muscle contractions that mimic the effects of high-intensity workouts. This technology penetrates deeper into muscle tissues compared to EMS, offering quicker and superior results. It can target larger muscle groups and achieve higher levels of muscle activation compared to EMS. This makes FMS particularly effective for body toning, muscle building, and pelvic floor strengthening. Also, FMS is described as much more comfortable than EMS treatments. FMS works without direct contact to the skin (meaning you can wear clothes under the treatment paddles).

How effective is FMS?

You can read more about the effectiveness of the Functional Magnetic System in various clinical studies. Here are some of the results:

Study 1:

15% increase in abdominal muscles after eight treatments
An average 3cm waist circumference reduction
Significant decrease of abdominal wall separation

Study 2: 16% increase in buttock muscles

Study 3: A reduction of up to 26% of belly fat after four treatments

The TESLAFormer: A Revolutionary Device for Maintaining and Building Muscle Mass

At Aever Clinics, we provide body toning treatments with the TESLAFormer, a groundbreaking device designed to revolutionise muscle building and maintenance. Utilising FMS technology, the TESLAFormer delivers powerful functional magnetic pulses to target muscle groups, inducing contractions that are more intense than those achieved through voluntary exercise. This leads to significant improvements in muscle mass, strength, and endurance, making it an ideal solution for those looking to enhance their physical fitness without the need for exhaustive workouts.

Use Cases: What is the TESLAFormer used for?

Build and Maintain Muscles

The TESLAFormer effectively targets various muscle groups, helping to build and maintain muscle mass with minimal effort. This is particularly beneficial for individuals looking to enhance their physique or maintain muscle strength as they age.

Butt Lift

For those seeking a non-invasive way to lift and firm the buttocks, the TESLAFormer provides a highly effective solution. By stimulating the gluteal muscles, it enhances muscle tone as well as volume and creates a more lifted appearance. This body toning treatment provides up to 50.000 lunges in half an hour – try doing that workout at the gym in the same time.

Stop Incontinence

The TESLAFormer is also beneficial for pelvic floor strengthening, which can help alleviate incontinence. By targeting and strengthening the pelvic floor muscles, it provides a non-surgical solution to this issue. Incontinence affects more people than you might think across all ages. A treatment with the TESLAFormer Chair helps to (re)build the pelvic floor muscles and can descrease incontinence by up to 90% after just four treatments. We are always delighted to hear from our customers that they can finally laugh, sneeze and simply live without having to fear a little mishap.

Rebuild Your Body After Pregnancy

Post-pregnancy, many women struggle with weakened muscles and changes in their body composition. The TESLAFormer aids in rebuilding muscle strength and tone, helping new mothers regain their pre-pregnancy bodies. Furthermore, post-pregnancy incontinence can be treated using the TESLAFormer Chair, which offers a comfortable method to regain pelvic floor strength whilst sitting. Additionally, we can place paddles on the abdominal area, thighs, and / or arms – two birds with one stone.

Recover from Injuries

For individuals recovering from injuries, the TESLAFormer offers a safe and effective way to rebuild muscle mass and strength without putting undue stress on the injured area. Some of our clients are professional athletes who rebuild their muscles after a sports injury or operation to maintain and rebuild their muscle health and to facilitate the return to professional sports.

Pain Reduction

Muscle pain, particularly in the back, can significantly impact daily life and overall well-being. The TESLAFormer offers an innovative solution to alleviate such discomfort by targeting and stimulating deep muscle layers that are often difficult to engage through conventional exercises. This stimulation promotes increased blood flow, muscle relaxation, and improved muscle strength, which collectively help to reduce muscle tension and pain. By enhancing core stability and supporting proper posture, the TESLAFormer not only provides immediate relief but also helps prevent future occurrences of back pain.

Support & Boost Your Gym Routine

Even for avid gym-goers, the TESLAFormer can enhance workout results by providing additional muscle stimulation, leading to faster and more noticeable improvements in muscle tone and strength. Need a break from the gym? The body toning treatment is also perfect for those cheat days with a non-workout workout.

The Body Toning Experience - What Does It Feel Like?

During a TESLAFormer session, users typically feel a series of strong but painless muscle contractions. The intensity can be adjusted to match the user’s comfort level, ensuring an effective yet pleasant experience. We usually start off low so clients can get used to the sensation. Gradually, we increase the intensity (either during a treatment or from session to session) to build up the tolerance. This ensures a comfortable experience as well as the desired outcomes.

Treatment Plan & Recovery Times

A typical treatment plan with the TESLAFormer involves several sessions every two to three days. Each session lasts about 30 to 45 minutes, and multiple areas can be targeted within one session. There is no recovery time required, but we do advise to drink a lot of water after the treatment and to rest. Additional workouts after the treatment are not recommended, since the body has already completed a high-intensity workout even though it might not feel like that to the recipient who was lying or sitting throughout the process. Just like with a classic workout, muscle soreness can appear the days following the treatment.

Pre-Care Instructions

Before undergoing a TESLAFormer treatment, it is recommended to:

Stay hydrated
Avoid heavy meals immediately before the session
Wear comfortable clothing
Do not wear anything metallic (denim jeans with zips and buttons can be opened and / or removed, if needed
Remove piercings during the treatment if they overlap with the treatment area, e.g. belly button piercings
Inform the practitioner of any medical conditions or implants

Post-Care Instructions

After the treatment, it is important to:

Stay hydrated
Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours
Follow any specific instructions provided by the practitioner
Report any unusual discomfort or side effects

Before & After

The results are often noticeable after just a few sessions with significant improvements in muscle tone, definition, and overall body composition. Many users also report improved strength and endurance, or a significant reduction in issues with incontinence. After about four sessions, you will physically feel the difference. After eight and more sessions, you will also be able to see the difference.

Conclusion

Body toning is a crucial aspect of maintaining a healthy and aesthetically pleasing physique. With the advent of advanced technologies like the TESLAFormer using Functional Magnetic Stimulation, achieving these goals has become more accessible and effective. Whether you're looking to enhance your muscle mass, lift and firm specific areas, or support your recovery and fitness routine, recover from injury or regain your pre-pregnancy body, the TESLAFormer offers a revolutionary solution that delivers impressive results with minimal effort.
