Urinary Incontinence Treatment in West Auckland

Non-Invasive Pelvic Floor Therapy Using Tesla Chair at Waitākere Health Hub

Urinary incontinence can be frustrating, isolating, and difficult to manage — but it doesn’t have to be. At Waitākere Health Hub, we offer a safe, effective, and non-invasive solution using the Tesla Chair. This advanced therapy uses Functional Magnetic Stimulation (FMS) to strengthen the pelvic floor and restore bladder control — all while you remain comfortably seated and fully clothed. Whether you're dealing with stress, urge, or mixed incontinence, our tailored programs help you regain confidence and control, naturally.

Urinary incontinence is the unintentional leakage of urine, a condition affecting many women and men across all ages. Whether it’s stress-related, urgency-driven, or a combination of both, incontinence can be disruptive to daily life and emotional wellbeing.

What Is the Tesla Chair?

The Tesla Chair is a medical device that uses Functional Magnetic Stimulation (FMS) to activate the motor neurons of the pelvic floor. This causes the muscles to contract and relax rapidly, mimicking thousands of Kegel exercises in just one 30-minute session.

Key Mechanisms:

Magnetic pulses penetrate deeply into the pelvic region without skin contact
Stimulates sacral nerve roots and pelvic muscles, improving bladder control
Strengthens sphincter muscles, enhances neuromuscular coordination
Improves blood flow and sensory feedback in the pelvic region

Who can benefit?

Our Tesla Chair treatment is effective for a wide range of incontinence types:

Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) – Leakage during coughing, sneezing, exercise
Urge Urinary Incontinence (UUI) – Sudden need to urinate without warning
Mixed Urinary Incontinence (MUI) – A combination of stress and urge types
Postpartum Incontinence – Pelvic weakness following childbirth
Post-surgical or post-prostatectomy incontinence – Including MS-related dysfunction

Backed by Clinical Research

Multiple studies across diverse populations show strong support for FMS in treating urinary incontinence:

A Slovenian study on 160 women showed:
- 80% of SUI patients and 69% of MUI patients became completely dry
- 58% of UUI patients were dry; 31% showed significant improvement
A study at the University Medical Centre Maribor found:
- Significant improvements in both daytime and night-time voiding, urgency symptoms, and quality of life within 8 weeks of FMS treatment
In patients with MS-related incontinence, just 6 FMS sessions significantly improved urgency, flow, and quality of life (p < 0.001)
Lukanovic et al. showed FMS reduced urine leakage, urgency, and pad use in all types of female incontinence, with the strongest effects in younger, premenopausal women
