Five Benefits to Adding PEMF Therapy to Your Routine

Don’t let the long name scare you off–PEMF [ pulsed electromagnetic field therapy ] is a non-invasive, gentle, effective way to stimulate regeneration and speed healing. And no need to be injured — when we say recovery, we mean the regeneration spectrum for your muscles, body, and mind. Here are the Top 5 Reasons We Recommend PEMF:

Enhance Cellular Function

You can receive PEMF therapy with various devices, including electronic mats, coils, and other wearables. These devices apply electromagnetic pulses to a targeted body part, stimulating healing. According to a 2019 study, low-frequency electromagnetic field therapy can incite cell proliferation, increase ATP production, and alter the membrane structure of a cell. In other words, PEMF can enhance cellular function to optimize the body’s healing ability. 

Find Pain Relief

Like everything we do here, our PEMF therapy options are designed to help you live your most comfortable life. We all deserve to make it through the day pain-free (or as close to it as possible), and PEMF can help you get there. This magnetotherapy has been shown to improve circulation and stimulate cellular repair, leading to lower levels of inflammation and chronic pain. 

Enjoy Better Sleep

Adequate sleep is the cornerstone of overall wellness, but many people severely lack it. If you’re experiencing insomnia or having trouble falling asleep due to lingering aches and pains, PEMF could be especially beneficial. In addition to reducing inflammation, PEMF is highly effective at releasing endorphins and modulating neurotransmitters such as adenosine levels, promoting healthier sleep patterns and restfulness. 

Promote Faster Recovery 

If you’re an athlete recovering from an injury or surgery, PEMF may help shorten your recovery time. When you receive a PEMF treatment, you jump-start your body’s natural healing process. Because the positive effects of PEMF are so powerful, it’s a popular post-surgical treatment for operations such as cesarean section and knee surgery. Even if you’re not recovering from a major surgery, the increased blood flow and cellular function that PEMF provides will support faster tissue regeneration after intense workouts. 

Boost Immunity

PEMF can activate multiple healing pathways, igniting recovery processes. PEMF practices can stimulate the body’s natural healing process and strengthen your immunity by sending low-level pulses of electromagnetic energy to the injury or fusion site.

So, does PEMF therapy really work?

The human body requires electricity to sign signals throughout the body and brain. Pulsed PEMF therapy helps restore any disruptions in electrical current to the normal state, which promotes overall wellness. PEMF therapy can realign the electricity in your cells. When a cell is stimulated, it allows positive charges to enter. The inside of this cell becomes positively charged, triggering other electrical currents, turning into pulses. It can positively influence movement, healing, and sending of signals. It may take up to four weeks to see sustainable changes.*

PEMF could benefit your routine. This noninvasive therapy reduces inflammation and promotes overall wellness — especially when stacked with cold plunges and sauna sessions.
