Hi everyone! If you’ve been following me over at @madeformadison you’ll already have seen my latest awesome find, Body Catalyst. Body Catalyst has been around for over 6 years now. They are Australia’s largest and leading body shaping and wellness company, combining a holistic approach with non-invasive and clinically proven body shaping treatments. As a mum of two girls, my body has never been the same, and I’m sure I’m not the only one! I suffer from bad lower back pain, so bad that I haven’t lifted my girls in the past three years. It’s very sad, but unfortunately, that was my reality. On top of the lower back pain, it turns out that my stomach muscles are separated by the width of three fingers—another common thing after childbirth. My bladder is worn, and I’ve been suffering from mild incontinence. It goes without saying that I wouldn’t trade my children for anything, but people don’t talk enough about how hard it is on the body, and how long it can take to recover. Not being able to lift my girls or carry things easily has been so hard, and I feel like I’m missing out on opportunities because of my pain.
So when I was offered the opportunity to review the TeslaChair pelvic floor strengthening treatment at Body Catalyst and I learned that it could help with all my issues, I literally screamed with excitement! The process started with a very thorough consultation at their clinic In Burwood Westfield. The body shaping and wellness expert asked me a series of questions about my diet, Lifestyle, health issues or concerns, and any body issues including various aches and pains. My therapist was AMAZING! I absolutely loved how comfortable and at ease she made me feel. She addressed all my questions and concerns and made me feel calm and excited about the whole experience.

| Filing in my questionnaire |
All the therapists were fantastic and very pleasant to deal with. The therapists at Body Catalyst also have knowledge and prowess in nutrition, which I think plays such an important part of recovering from the strain our bodies undergo during pregnancy and childbirth. Healthy living is critical in this whole process, and the Body Catalyst staff were very helpful in this regard as well. The TelsaChair technology is aimed at helping women who have experienced childbirth. Oftentimes childbirth results in abdominal separation and creates pelvic floor concerns. Fixing these problems requires muscle strengthening, and the TeslaChair is designed to do this with a series of simple treatments..
“The TeslaChair is a medical device (registered on ARTG) developed for treating weakened Pelvic floor muscles and urinary incontinence using Functional Magnetic Stimulation (FMS) Technology. The pulsed magnetic field generated by the device causes the muscles of the Pelvic floor to contract, which results in increased strength and endurance of the pelvic region and pelvic floor muscles. This therapy is suitable for all kinds of urinary and faecal Incontinence as well as chronic pain in the pelvis and back.”

| First session on the Teslachair |
I completed 6 sessions on the chair. In each 30 minute session the TeslaChair stimulates up to 50,000 muscle contractions, and it’s completely painless! I could feel the paddle on my lower back, buttocks and upper thighs.
Before I started the treatment
- I had to use a hot water bottle on my lower back every night;
- I couldn’t lift simple things like full shopping bags;
- Literally needed to run to the toilet so I didn’t wee my pants;
- Felt weak walking up the stairs.
At the beginning of my treatment I had to fill in a questionnaire that asked about the frequency and intensity of various issues such as incontinence and pain. After 6 treatments my questionnaire score that started at 4 was reduced to 0 points! I also benefited from the below results;
- My tummy feels stronger;
- I now can run up my stairs feeling strong;
- Not only can I hold shopping bags, but I can even hold heavier items; -
- I have not needed a hot water bottle on my lower back;
- No lower back pain;
- My pelvic floor muscles feel stronger;
- No incontinence.
This treatment has truly changed my life! I will forever be grateful to be given the opportunity to try this, but I'll also be continuing as a paying customer.
Next up, I'll be embarking on a personalised treatment plan with the TeslaFormer on my abdomen to help repair my muscle separation and improve my core strength, so stay tuned for more on this. If it works as well as the treatments have for my back and pelvic floor, I'll be overjoyed. I’m also pleased to let you all know I have two great discounts to offer you:
