The Science
Muscles Kegels Can't Reach
Functional magnetic stimulation uses a focused electromagnetic field to trigger involuntary contractions in the deep pelvic floor muscles — the ones most people can't consciously activate.
How It Works
Electromagnetic Field → Motor Neurons → Contraction
You sit on a specialized chair with a magnetic coil built into the seat. The coil generates a focused electromagnetic field that penetrates through clothing and tissue to reach the motor neurons controlling your pelvic floor muscles.
When those neurons fire, the muscles contract — not a gentle squeeze, but a supramaximal contraction stronger than anything you could produce voluntarily. The device cycles through thousands of these contractions in a single session.
The math: 28 minutes × approximately 1,000 contractions per minute = 28,000 supramaximal contractions in one session. For perspective, that's more than most people do voluntarily in a year of trying to remember their kegels.
Why Kegels Fall Short
The Problem With Doing It Yourself
Research consistently shows that most people doing kegels at home are doing them wrong — contracting the wrong muscles, holding their breath, or activating their glutes and abs instead of the actual pelvic floor.
Even when done correctly, voluntary kegels only activate the surface layer of pelvic floor muscles. The deeper stabilizers — the ones most responsible for continence, core stability, and sexual function — are notoriously hard to engage consciously.
Functional magnetic stimulation bypasses the conscious effort entirely. You don't have to think about it, you don't have to learn a technique, and you can't do it wrong. You just sit there.
Research & Safety
Clinical Evidence, Not Marketing
Functional magnetic stimulation has been studied extensively for urinary incontinence, pelvic floor dysfunction, and post-partum recovery. Published trials show measurable improvement in symptoms after a standard course of treatment — typically 6 – 8 sessions over a few weeks.
The technology is FDA-cleared and operates at intensity levels calibrated for therapeutic use. There are no needles, no probes, and no pharmaceuticals — just a magnetic field that turns on and off in rapid cycles.
As with any medical intervention, we screen every patient during their comprehensive exam to confirm pelvic floor therapy is the right fit. Pacemakers, metal implants in the treatment area, and pregnancy are contraindications we rule out before starting.
