Can Cooltone help my Back?
Announcements Health & Wellness HRTOftentimes, we hear about the newest fad for helping our bodies to look better, feel better, or for some to make complete changes. I view this as a slippery slope, as we lose focus on the little things that make us who we are.
I have been involved in the fitness industry for over four decades. At the same time, I have become more aware of my own body and my needs for trying to stay healthy and to embrace aging. There are many parts of aging that I am fine with, while there are other parts that I’m not so fond of.
It’s about healthy aging, with an appreciation for knowing your body as it changes. Accepting the changes as part of life.
I am and have been a believer in HRT Therapies for two decades. This is a subject I am working to understand better, now that I am in the Menopause group of women. 60+ Yippee! I have a whole lot more to share on this subject, as I have buried myself in as much information as I can get my hands on. In 2021, I was the business developer for an Anti-aging Clinic with Dr. Mark Rosenbloom. Dr. Rosenbloom is an expert in HRT (hormone replacement therapy), offering a comprehensive program that includes healthy eating, exercise, and additional support. At Lifeforce Med, Dr. Rosenbloom helps people to feel good about HRT, helping them to stay mentally sharp and strong. I was younger, feeling good, not realizing my own need for HRT in my future. I hadn’t realized HRT is as necessary in Peri-Monopause as it is in Post-Monopause.
To stay on point for this post, I want to share information about a technology I think is marketed in the wrong way. I believe that if the manufacturer better understood this system, they could help educate the public more effectively.
This particular subject is not about aging.
The technology is called Cool Tone. Cool Tone is talked about on the same website as CoolSculpting, so I will assume they are the developer of both products. I do not know much about CoolSculpting, as I have no interest. I believe the fat will return in other areas, which might be an area where I do not need additional fat. I am sure many people have had the procedure and have had great success.
Dr. Roma Franzia, of Face Forward Medical Spa, asked me to experience a session with this system to get my opinion. If she had not asked, I would have never had a desire to try this out, and may have never known about it. The marketing material targets individuals interested in achieving a six-pack set of abs. For the average human, this is not achievable. After teaching classes for over four decades, not even 1% of the students have six-pack abs. I don’t believe everyone has this goal.
I am talking about your average woman, not the athlete who can put hours in focusing on the abs, or the person who can cut all the fat to get those ripped abs—the average woman who may have children, go to work, and try to squeeze in a fitness class or two. My lower back has grown to have more and more pain as I am desk-bound for my business, and I have a tear below one rib.
My Experience made me see the genuine opportunity of Cool Tone!
My 3rd visit is when I took a real notice. I had the treatment bed adjusted so my knees would come up. This ensured I was positioned with a pelvic tilt to provide the muscle contractions that would strengthen the lower abdominal wall to pull into the spin, pulling through the navel. This provides flat back placement to the surface to ensure the contractions strengthen inward. This is critical to having the proper form for the lower abdominal area. I also had the tech (Annette) place the wand on the lower portion of the abdominal area precisely.
Keeping our abs strong keeps our backs strong…
For those who have “Sway Back”, known as Lordosis. This is a condition where the lower spine curves inward too much. There is a wealth of information available, along with exercises designed to help. However, it’s a huge focus and a whole lot of work. Personally, as a person with a Sway Back, I am convinced that no matter what I do, I am not able to get flat abdominals. We continue to pursue, as it’s all a part of working to stay fit and healthy. Floor crunches, to isometric holds in pilates, and more. With the hope that we will one day experience strong abs, no back pain, and may even look like a six-pack!
CoolTone, How it works
The official explanation of how this tool works is Active Magnetic Pulse technology, which helps induce muscle contraction beyond the reach of exercise alone, unlocking next-level muscle engagement. In layman’s terms, it’s a whole lot of crunches! Around 20K crunches during a 30-minute session. Still skeptical, I lay on the comfortable table bed while the COOLTONE hardware was laid across my tummy. A fabric belt is used to hold it in place. They turn the machine on, beginning with a level of around 5. Ultimately, I was able to increase the strength to level 100. I found it easy to tolerate the magnetic field spikes, contracting my abdominal muscles every few seconds for 30 minutes.
This was not about vanity or the aesthetics of six-pack abs. This was about strengthening my lower abdominals to protect my back!
Dr. Franzia is offering a great special to my students! One complimentary 30-minute session with Cooltone. Then, a highly discounted package deal for my students! (Current and Past Students)
