If you’ve found yourself quietly Googling “pelvic floor treatment Melbourne” late at night — or wondering whether those Kegel exercises you keep forgetting to do are ever going to make a difference — you’re in good company. Pelvic floor weakness is one of the most common concerns among people in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, and one of the least talked about. The TESLAChair is a non-invasive teslachair pelvic floor treatment available at our Beaumaris clinic that works differently from anything you’ve probably tried before. You sit in a chair. Fully clothed. No undressing, no internal examination, nothing physically uncomfortable. In 30 minutes, the chair does something your pelvic floor exercises simply cannot.
What exactly is the TESLAChair?
The TESLAChair is a specialist treatment chair that uses Functional Magnetic Stimulation (FMS) to target the pelvic floor muscles directly. It shares the same underlying technology as our TESLAFormer treatment — both generate a pulsed electromagnetic field — but the TESLAChair is designed specifically for pelvic floor rehabilitation and strengthening.
The chair produces a magnetic field that passes through clothing and tissue, reaching the deep muscle groups that make up the pelvic floor. This triggers involuntary muscle contractions — your pelvic floor contracts repeatedly during the session without you having to consciously engage it, and at an intensity that voluntary exercise typically cannot match.
You remain seated and fully clothed throughout. There is no physical contact and no internal component of any kind.
That’s the mechanism. Here’s what it actually means for you in practice.
TESLAChair treatment is available at Bayside Endermologie’s Beaumaris clinic, where Kristina can assess whether it’s the right fit for your situation.
How does pelvic floor weakness actually happen?
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissue that sits at the base of the pelvis. These muscles do a lot of quiet, unglamorous work — supporting the bladder, uterus, and bowel; controlling when you urinate; and stabilising the core during movement. When they weaken or lose coordination, the effects can range from mild annoyance to genuinely affecting daily life.
A few of the most common causes:
Childbirth. Vaginal delivery places significant stress on the pelvic floor muscles and the connective tissue that supports them. Even after the body recovers, many people find those muscles never quite return to their pre-pregnancy function without targeted rehabilitation.
Hormonal changes. During perimenopause and menopause, declining oestrogen levels affect the quality of connective tissue throughout the body, including in the pelvic region. Clients who never had any pelvic floor issues after childbirth often notice new symptoms in their 40s and 50s as hormonal shifts take effect.
Extended sitting. A desk job or a lifestyle that involves a lot of sitting can weaken the glute and pelvic floor muscles over time, simply from underuse.
High-impact exercise. Repeated impact — running, jumping, HIIT — without adequate pelvic floor strength can contribute to symptoms like light bladder leakage, particularly during the exercise itself.
Ageing. Muscle mass decreases with age across the whole body. The pelvic floor is not exempt.
Common signs of pelvic floor weakness include light bladder leakage when you sneeze, cough, laugh, or exercise (this is called stress incontinence); a frequent or urgent need to urinate; a sense of heaviness or pressure in the pelvic region; or reduced core stability. Pelvic organ prolapse — where one or more pelvic organs descend — is a more significant condition that requires assessment by your GP or gynaecologist before any treatment.
How the TESLAChair works — the science in plain English
Functional Magnetic Stimulation uses a pulsed electromagnetic field to stimulate motor neurons — the nerve cells responsible for triggering muscle contractions. When that field is directed at the pelvic floor, those muscles contract involuntarily and repeatedly throughout the session.
The contractions produced this way are described as supramaximal, meaning they engage more muscle fibres than a voluntary contraction typically reaches. When you consciously do a Kegel exercise, you’re working with whatever muscle activation you can voluntarily achieve. FMS bypasses that limitation and contracts the full pelvic floor musculature, including the deeper muscle layers that are hardest to isolate through exercise alone.
Over a course of sessions, this repeated stimulation builds strength in the pelvic floor much the way any other resistance training builds muscle — through progressive load and recovery.
But the technology is only part of it. What matters is whether your situation is the right fit for this kind of treatment — and that’s what Kristina’s consultation is for.
This is not a substitute for physiotherapy where physiotherapy is clinically indicated, and it is not a medical treatment for diagnosed incontinence. What it is: a clinically backed strengthening treatment that many clients find useful alongside their existing routines, or when conventional exercises have produced disappointing results.
For broader context on pelvic floor health, the Continence Foundation of Australia is a good starting point.
What does a TESLAChair session involve?
Sessions are available in 30-minute, 45-minute, and 1-hour formats. You arrive, sit in the chair, and remain fully clothed throughout — there is nothing to change into and no preparation required.
Once the session begins, you’ll feel the electromagnetic field producing contractions in the pelvic floor. The sensation is described by most clients as strong muscle contractions — noticeable, sometimes quite intense, but not painful in the way that might concern you. Some clients find the first session surprising simply because the contractions are more pronounced than they expected. That usually settles from session two onward as the body becomes familiar with the sensation.
You can read, check your phone, or simply sit and relax during the session. There’s no recovery time and no reason you couldn’t go straight back to your day afterward.
Kristina recommends a course of six sessions, spaced two to three days apart, to build meaningful strength in the pelvic floor. Many clients notice changes in bladder control and core stability within two to three weeks of completing a course, though results follow each person’s own body’s rhythm — individual response depends on starting point and the cause of the weakness.
What results do clients actually see?
It’s worth being straightforward here: TESLAChair treatment is not a cure for pelvic floor dysfunction, and it won’t be the right answer for every situation. What clients commonly report is a noticeable improvement in bladder control — particularly a reduction in stress incontinence (the leakage that happens with impact or sudden pressure), better core stability, and an overall sense that the pelvic floor feels more responsive and engaged.
For clients who have tried Kegel exercises and found them ineffective — whether because they struggled to engage the right muscles, or simply couldn’t maintain a consistent routine — the TESLAChair offers something different: it does the work for you and reaches muscles that voluntary exercise tends to miss.
Most people know what they want. They just don’t know what’s actually possible. That’s the conversation Kristina is here to have.
If you have a diagnosed medical condition involving the bladder or pelvic floor, please discuss TESLAChair treatment with your GP before booking. The treatment works well alongside medical management in many cases, but Kristina will always ask about your situation in the initial consultation and won’t proceed if it’s not appropriate.
Who is TESLAChair treatment best suited for?
TESLAChair is open to anyone who may benefit from pelvic floor strengthening, regardless of gender. The pelvic floor matters for everyone — and the treatment is individually tailored based on your situation, not a standard protocol.
That said, common presentations include:
- Light bladder leakage related to stress incontinence — for example, during exercise, sneezing, or laughing
- Post-partum pelvic floor weakness, where clients want to support recovery beyond what standard Kegel exercises have achieved
- Perimenopause or menopause, where hormonal changes have introduced new pelvic floor symptoms
- Difficulty correctly engaging the pelvic floor muscles through voluntary exercise
- A desire to improve core strength and pelvic stability without adding high-impact exercise to the routine
It is not suitable for clients who are pregnant, have metal implants or electronic devices in the pelvic region, have an active pelvic infection or inflammation, or have pelvic organ prolapse without prior clearance from their GP. Kristina reviews all of this during the initial consultation — there’s no standard here, every situation is looked at individually.
Frequently asked questions
Is TESLAChair treatment embarrassing or uncomfortable?
This is probably the question most people don’t ask out loud, so it’s worth addressing directly. No — it is not embarrassing, and for most clients, it’s not uncomfortable in any distressing sense. You sit in a chair, fully clothed, and the session runs for 30 minutes. There is no internal examination, no undressing, and no physical contact. The contractions you feel during the session are strong, but the experience is much more like a targeted muscle workout than anything clinical. If you’ve been putting off looking into this treatment because you weren’t sure what it involved, that hesitation is understandable — and hopefully this answers it.
How many sessions will I need?
A standard course is six sessions, spaced two to three days apart. Some clients choose to do maintenance sessions every few months after completing their initial course, depending on how their symptoms respond.
Can I use TESLAChair if I have a pelvic floor prolapse?
Prolapse requires medical assessment before any pelvic floor treatment. If you have a diagnosed prolapse, speak with your GP or gynaecologist first. In some cases TESLAChair is appropriate alongside medical management, but this needs to be assessed on an individual basis. Kristina will discuss this with you at the initial consultation.
Is it safe to use after childbirth or surgery?
Generally yes, once your GP or midwife has cleared you for physical activity — typically around the six-week mark after a vaginal delivery, though this varies. After pelvic surgery the timing depends on the specific procedure and your surgeon’s advice. Kristina will ask about your history at the consultation and won’t proceed if the timing isn’t right.
