A 60-year heritage of muscle technology

ULTRATONE × TRENDLIFE
From elite performance to the future of muscle health.

1964: a beginning

The references in the relevant chapter of Springer's 2008 book record that Herman Schaefer founded Slendertone Ltd in 1964 and that the organisation later became part of Ultratone Scientific Instruments. The phrase “60-year heritage” refers to these historical roots; it does not mean that the Ultratone brand has existed under the same name since 1964.

A connection with science

According to Ultratone's account of its history, Schaefer began working with neuroscientist Prof. Gerta Vrbová in the early 1980s, while the Ultratone brand emerged in 1989. The details of this collaboration are based on the brand's own account.

An approach to wellbeing today

At TrendLife, our interest in this heritage extends beyond body appearance to movement, performance, recovery and long-term muscle health. Within the RE-CODE approach, technology is considered part of a care and movement plan shaped by listening to the individual.

Historical experience does not mean that every device or treatment will produce the same result. Its place within a programme is determined by individual needs and professional assessment.
