Strength and mobility allow our bodies to move in the ways we need them to, but what happens when our muscles aren’t at 100 percent? How do we maintain muscle integrity if we aren’t recovering properly?
You may frequent the gym or exercise regularly to prevent muscle weakness. You might also be trying strategies like getting enough rest, stretching, and fueling your body to maintain the level of fitness and health you desire. However, aging impacts how your body functions, and you may experience changes in muscle integrity that require more advanced techniques for muscle recovery.
In Canton, at Vital Balance 10, our team uses various noninvasive energies to encourage muscle growth, soothe muscle and joint-related pain, and ultimately improve your quality of life. With our targeted treatments, you can enhance motion, balance, and overall support.
Keep reading as we explore 2 of our treatments designed to strengthen muscles and restore function, each in its own way.

Understanding Your Muscles
Your muscles control all movement in your body. When you think of movement, you might picture weightlifting, running, or even grabbing something off a shelf. These are voluntary movements, or actions you control.
Your muscles also move around in your body to support your organs, hold them in place, and allow your body to work properly. These involuntary movements happen automatically, such as your heart beating and breathing.
Without strong muscles to control movement and bodily functions, you might experience pain during activity, restricted movement, and difficulty performing daily activities.
With aging, major life events, and medical conditions, your muscles can weaken and change, requiring support to help you feel more comfortable.
Who Might Need Advanced Muscle Recovery?
Since muscle weakness can affect anyone, seeking muscle recovery in Canton can help clients feel more in control of their bodies and improve confidence.
Here are specific types of clientele who might benefit most from muscle-strengthening treatments:
- Individuals with limited mobility because of surgery or injury, who want to prevent weak muscles.
- Clients who suffer from medical conditions that affect muscle integrity, circulation, or stability.
- Fitness enthusiasts and athletes who want to rehabilitate muscles for performance.
- Women who are postpartum or in menopause, looking to enhance pelvic floor and abdominal support.
No matter your goals with muscle recovery, our team can create a treatment plan that meets your needs. Let’s take a look at our treatments that build muscles, reduce weakness, and give you more control over your movements and comfort.
Emsculpt NEO: Advanced Rehabilitation and Strengthening
While many people associate Emsculpt NEO with body contouring, the device has many benefits for functional wellness. The powerful treatment, now FDA-cleared for functional use, helps clients improve muscle strength and support recovery.
How Emsculpt NEO Works
Emsculpt NEO uses 2 noninvasive technologies that work simultaneously to heat tissues and stimulate muscle contractions. We can place Emsculpt NEO applicators on the arms, thighs, abdomen, buttocks, and more, which can stimulate healing in these targeted areas.
HIFEM: High-Intensity Focused Electromagnetic Energy
Emsculpt NEO uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic (HIFEM) stimulation. This energy promotes rapid, deep muscle contractions—stronger than what anyone could achieve with exercise alone. HIFEM energy strengthens muscles and improves blood flow in the treatment area.
Radiofrequency Energy
Emsculpt NEO also uses radiofrequency (RF) energy, which works as a form of thermal energy. RF energy penetrates the skin and reaches deep tissues to provide safe heating to soothe and relax muscles. With RF energy, clients can experience reduced pain and stiffness in the target area.
How Emsculpt NEO Supports Muscle Recovery
In Canton, our providers help clients relieve their symptoms of weak muscles while improving their mobility, posture, and more. Let’s look at how the dual-technology of Emsculpt NEO can improve your comfort and quality of life.
- Improves range of motion by stimulating weak muscles and reducing stiffness. Whether it’s from immobility or disuse, HIFEM energy can enhance blood flow and work the muscles, while RF energy eases tension.
- Enhances core strength for overall dexterity. Using Emsculpt NEO on the abdomen strengthens the core muscles to improve balance, posture, and coordination. Plus, this can correct abdominal muscle separation in women post-childbirth.
- Prevents muscle atrophy, the thinning of muscle mass, from medical conditions, lifestyle choices, or aging. Stimulating the muscles enhances tone and provides support to the treatment area.
- Re-educates muscles after long periods of immobility by retraining the muscles. HIFEM gives your muscles an intense workout, allowing them to engage and contract. Heating also relieves pain and soreness from muscle inactivity.
- Increases circulation to neuromuscular tissue in the treatment area through strong contractions. This can be beneficial for clients who are recovering from surgery, injury, or are unable to move their bodies to optimize blood flow.
With Emsculpt NEO, you can enhance muscle strength and tone in a series of 30-minute sessions with no downtime. Our muscle recovery in Canton with Emsculpt NEO can improve your comfort, allowing you to move more freely and confidently.
Who Makes a Good Candidate for Emsculpt NEO?
Enhancing circulation and rehabilitating muscles can benefit a wide variety of people. We most often recommend Emsculpt NEO to clients who:
- Had a surgery or injury and want to prevent muscle weakness
- Struggle with coordination and are at a high fall risk or need postural support
- Want to soothe and strengthen muscles after workouts for better performance
- Want to enhance circulation while recovering during periods of immobility
- Have abdominal muscle weakness or separation after pregnancy
If you have muscle concerns localized to the pelvic floor, we can encourage repair and healing with Emsella. Keep reading to explore how Emsella can give you more control over your pelvic muscles.
Emsella: Pelvic Floor and Core Recovery
The pelvic floor plays a huge role in daily activities and overall strength. This group of muscles makes up the base of your core, which includes your abdominal muscles, diaphragm, and back. Together, the pelvic floor and core muscles work to provide stability throughout your body’s center, maintain proper posture, and help you move comfortably.
When these muscles weaken due to natural aging, pregnancy, or menopause, individuals can experience pain and discomfort with daily movement and body functions. Let’s look at how the Emsella chair restores pelvic integrity and provides muscle recovery in Canton.
How Emsella Works
Similar to Emsculpt NEO, Emsella also uses HIFEM energy, which emits through a chair-like device that patients sit on during their appointment. One of the best parts about Emsella is that you get to remain fully clothed during treatment. While you sit, the HIFEM energy stimulates rapid muscle contractions in your pelvic floor, strengthening the muscles and restoring proper function.
In a single 30-minute session, you can experience around 10,000 Kegel-like exercises! These Kegels are much stronger than what you could do alone, giving your pelvic floor the activation and attention it needs.
How Emsella Supports the Pelvic Floor
Regardless of gender, many individuals experience pelvic floor weakness throughout their lives. With the help of our providers, it’s not something you have to accept. We use Emsella for pelvic floor muscle recovery in Canton, which helps our clients live brighter, more confident lives.
By activating and strengthening the muscles within the pelvic floor, you can experience:
- Improved posture and balance with a stronger core and pelvic floor support. If these muscles are too weak, individuals experience postural issues and a lack of coordination.
- Reduced pelvic or back pain by restoring proper muscle placement and function. Enhancing the pelvic floor and core muscles can provide more stability, allowing you to move freely without pain.
- Enhanced bladder control, resulting in fewer leaks (urinary incontinence). The pelvic floor supports the bladder, meaning it needs a strong foundation to keep you leak-free and confident.
With Emsella, we can help clients discover life without discomfort by re-engaging the pelvic floor muscles for better control, stability, and movement.
Who Makes a Good Candidate for Emsella?
We recommend Emsella for people looking to strengthen the pelvic floor. You might be a candidate if you:
- Are postpartum or in menopause, looking to restore muscle function and strength
- Have weakened muscles that lead to urinary incontinence
- Experience poor posture and reduced stability that result from a weak core
- Suffer from weak pelvic floor muscles due to prostate issues, such as prostate surgery
