While FMS therapy is safe, non-invasive, and effective for many, there are certain conditions where treatment is not recommended. For your safety, we are unable to treat anyone under the age of 18 or individuals with the following conditions:
Pregnancy
A diagnosis of cancer
Complete muscle tear at, or near, the site of stimulation
Cardiac pacemakers
Severe active pulmonary conditions
Implants made of ferromagnetic metal near the stimulation area
Open wounds at or near the wound site
Cardiac arrhythmias
Recent surgery in the targeted area
Endometriosis
We do not treat the head or heart/chest area
Additionally, clients with a high BMI may still benefit from improved muscle strength and function, though the physical changes may not be as visible due to deeper muscle development beneath excess tissue. If you're unsure whether this treatment is suitable for you, we are happy to provide a confidential consultation to assess your individual needs.

Fat freezing or Coolsculpting treatments are designed to remove fat cells through freezing of local fat in the area. This treatment can be uncomfortable, and sometimes painful. There are a number of possible side effects related to this treatment and while some see results, fat cells have the ability to return in other areas. Always research your treatment provider and ensure safe practices when undergoing this type of treatment.
FMS therapy does not target fat cells. We target the muscle and nervous system to boost circulation and increase muscle strength to give your body the ability to move and exercise pain free and with correct form and posture.
During our treatments, the body does draw from the fat cells in the area to provide energy for the thousands of muscle contractions induced - while the boost in circulation will speed up your metabolic rate.
Due to the boost in circulation and lymphatic drainage, many clients notice their stomach area getting smaller after abdominal treatments and visible toning can be expected as muscles become stronger.
While fat reduction is a possible outcome of FMS therapy, we can never guarantee it.
We consider our treatments a steppingstone to your ability to live a healthy active life through exercise and pain free movement. The results you feel at Flow Rehab are about maintaining a sustainable lifestyle.

No. While our treatments mimic the effects of intense exercise, the TESLAFormer works best for people who do regular exercise and have a healthy lifestyle.
If you have been unable to exercise, are on a journey of making better lifestyle choices or are returning to exercise after injury or surgery, the TESLAFormer can be used to ensure a strong baseline of strength to ensure correct posture and prevent injury.
-
Typical TESLAFormer treatments take just 30 minutes per area. Clients remain fully clothed during treatments and there is no downtime. It is the ultimate walk-in, walk-out treatment. You could do it on your lunch break!

While the TESLAFormer is not a weight loss treatment, it can lead to visible changes.
In some cases, fat in the targeted area may be burned as energy to power the thousands of muscle contractions.
Many clients notice their stomach appears flatter thanks to improved circulation, enhanced digestive function, and better lymphatic drainage, which can help reduce bloating.
We believe real weight loss needs to be sustainable. This is achieved through healthier habits, stronger movement and a body that supports the life you want to live.
Flow Rehab is a steppingstone to a healthier, stronger body that will support you through life.

For best results, 2–3 sessions per week are ideal. We recommend leaving a day between strengthening treatments to allow your muscles time to recover. Just like with regular exercise, the more consistent you are, the faster you'll see results.
