Louise Mohn is a Norwegian businesswoman and the founder of Luzmon Medical. After a promising career as a basketball player was cut short due to debilitating injuries in her teens, Mohn was left with severe pain and unable to walk. The combined Thermo and Electric Muscle Stimulation proved to be the answer to her injuries, leaving her pain free and lead to the start of her career. She opened The Luzmon Clinic in London in 2004 and established Luzmon Medical in 2016. Louise Mohn, the daughter of Norwegian philanthropist and businessman Trond Mohn and wife Mette, was born in Bergen, Norway, and early on she displayed a talent for sports. By the age of 15 she was playing basketball at a national level and played for five different basketball teams. Her training schedule caught up with her and she started experiencing injuries and muscle pain. She was forced to give up basketball as her health deteriorated further, leaving her in chronic pain. Mohn refused risky surgery and pain medication. Within the next ten years she went through different medical evaluations and simultaneously tried various treatments, including physiotherapy, ultrasound and laser but she was still left in chronic pain. By chance she came across cTEMS in a clinic in Oslo, Norway, and it proved to be the solution to her condition. After six months of treatments she was pain free and able to sleep through the night. In November 2004 she opened The Luzmon Clinic in Kensington, London, acting as a distributor for cTEMS as passive exercise. Soon after its opening it became a favorite among finance professionals and celebrities. In 2008, not content with existing equipment, the company invested heavily in research and development of new electrodes. After two years of investments in the UK, the pad prototype developed was unsuccessful, and Mohn decided to end her distribution agreement for the equipment. Consequently she closed the clinic and went on to pursue further research and development in Norway. In 2008, Mohn was examined by doctors at Haukeland University Hospital, Bergen, after experiencing episodes with potential cardiac symptoms. The medical team was positively surprised by her physical performance during the tests and the fact that her physique was primarily the result of cTEMS. Mohn turned over documentation from 10 000 treatment sessions in London to a medical team at Haukeland University Hospital who began designing a program of clinical trials. Ultimately, this led to an independent clinical trial with the hospital’s department of heart disease, resulting in three clinical studies led by cardiologist, Espen Rostrup, MD. The results were presented in his PhD in 2014: "The effects of combined thermal and electric muscle stimulation on fatness and fitness". In 2016, Mohn - based on both her own experience and the research conducted at Haukeland University Hospital - began a comprehensive innovation project to create her own device. A prototype is presently under development.
