A non-invasive technology that uses gentle electrical charges to increase the voltage capacity of your cells, allowing for more energy, better recovery and overall wellbeing. These controlled electromagnetic impulses are especially helpful for healing from injuries.
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field. It refers to a form of therapy that involves the use of electromagnetic fields with varying frequencies and intensities to promote health and well-being. The basic principle of PEMF therapy is the application of pulsating electromagnetic fields to the body to stimulate cellular processes and support various physiological functions. The PEMF device produces a magnetic field that induces currents to flow in nearby tissues.
Different PEMF devices can produce electromagnetic fields with a range of frequencies, from extremely low frequencies (ELF) to radio frequencies. The selection of frequencies depends on the therapeutic goals and the specific application of the therapy.
PEMF therapy is generally non-invasive. It can be applied externally, and the electromagnetic fields can penetrate tissues to reach cells and cellular structures.
PEMF therapy can be targeted to specific areas of the body or applied more generally for systemic effects.
PEMF therapy has been explored for various health conditions, including but not limited to:
Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) are all around us. Earth continuously generates a variety of EMFs and every cell in the human body has evolved in the presence of these beneficial electromagnetic energies.Each cell in your body is like a tiny battery that powers your muscles, tissues, organs, brain, etc., so maintaining a high cellular charge (or voltage) is ideal for optimal health.Beneficial EMF exposure can influence that charge, causing your cells to expand, contract, recharge, refuel, repair, produce energy, absorb nutrients, and more.That’s where PEMF therapy comes in. We use a PEMF system called HAELO, which stimulates the body’s natural recovery processes through improved microcirculation, cellular oxygenation, and cell function.
PEMF may influence cellular processes by affecting ion flow across cell membranes. This, in turn, can impact cellular functions, including energy production and signalling pathways.
PEMF therapy is thought to influence blood flow and vascular function. It may stimulate vasodilation and improve blood circulation, enhancing oxygen and nutrient delivery to tissues.
Some studies suggest that PEMF therapy may have anti-inflammatory effects, which could be relevant for conditions associated with inflammation and pain.
The light exposure can activate various cellular signalling pathways, including those involved in cell survival, proliferation, and anti-apoptotic (anti-cell death) processes.
Certain frequencies of PEMF therapy are believed to influence neurological processes. This has led to investigations into the potential benefits of PEMF for conditions affecting the nervous system.
A 2021 study found that when athletes used HAELO every day for two weeks, they saw a steady 11% increase in overall recovery. That’s a large increase for anyone, and it’s especially valuable if you compete in a sport.
That same 2021 study also found that people who used HAELO daily experienced an 18% increase in deep sleep and 11% increase in sleep efficiency
Athletes who used HAELO every day saw a 5% increase in long-term cardio performance, measured through how elastic their arteries were. After using HAELO on a regular basis for 14 days, athletes had more elastic arteries—a sign that their arteries could send oxygen through their system more efficiently, improving long-term cardio.
These magnetic fields are applied to the entire body with the purpose of improving the repair and health of cells, tissues and the whole body. In contrast, TENS units make use of a low-voltage electric current that stimulates the nerves.
Yes.
PEMF therapy, also known as cellular exercise, will typically lower blood pressure so if clients already have very low blood pressure, they may feel lightheaded. By drinking water and staying seated, this usually passes in 15 minutes or less. Most people won’t feel the effects whilst receiving treatment.
PEMF causes increased blood flow to the site of an injury by dilating the blood vessels that deliver oxygen to the damaged tissues. This increase in blood flow promotes wound healing and reduces inflammation. PEMF therapy also stimulates the production of nitric oxide, a vasodilator that improves blood flow.
There are no known significant side effects associated with the therapy, nor are there any reports of problems associated with excessive exposure to the electromagnetic fields generated by the device.
PEMF reduces tissue hypoxia, BBB degradation and neuronal necrosis at high ICP by increasing cerebral microvascular perfusion via reducing MVS flow, increasing flow through capillaries as a result of dilatation of arterioles which occurs by nitric oxide dependent mechanism.
There are no known significant side effects associated with the therapy, nor are there any reports of problems associated with excessive exposure to the electromagnetic fields generated by the device.
The use of RF and PEMF is safe and effective for treating aged skin. Treatment improved skin condition, decreasing skin laxity, attenuating wrinkles, and smoothing facial and neck contour, with no pain or undesirable side effects.
PEMFs are non-invasive, and they work through your clothing.
Depending on the condition and type of intervention, it may take around four weeks to see sustained changes. In the short run, you can see the PEMF therapy benefits after a few sessions.
Most patients will need between 5-10 hours of total PEMF therapy for a lasting healing effect.
PEMF has been shown to improve sleep quality by promoting relaxation and reducing stress. It can also help regulate the body's natural sleep-wake cycle, which can be disrupted by factors such as jet lag or shift work.
The concept has existed since the mid-20th century, with early research exploring the effects of electromagnetic fields on living organisms. PEMF gained FDA approval in the 1980s for bone healing, marking a significant milestone. Over the years, research expanded, and PEMF is now studied for various applications, including pain management, osteoarthritis, wound healing, and neurological disorders. While it has a history spanning several decades, ongoing research is shaping our understanding of its mechanisms and clinical applications.
Cellular voltage, often referred to as the membrane potential of cells, plays a crucial role in various physiological processes and the overall health of cells and tissues. Here are some key aspects of the connection between cellular voltage and health:
The membrane potential is the voltage difference across the cell membrane, which separates the interior of the cell from its external environment. It is maintained by the distribution of ions (charged particles) across the membrane.
Membrane potential is essential for cellular communication. Neurons, for example, rely on changes in membrane potential to transmit electrical signals, allowing for the communication within the nervous system.
Cellular processes, including nutrient uptake, waste elimination, and response to external signals, are influenced by membrane potential. Proper cellular function requires the maintenance of an appropriate voltage gradient.
Cellular voltage is linked to the functioning of mitochondria, the cellular organelles responsible for energy production. The flow of ions across the membrane is involved in the generation of ATP, the primary energy currency of cells.
Disruptions in cellular voltage or membrane potential have been associated with various health conditions. For example, alterations in neuronal membrane potential can contribute to neurological disorders.
The proper functioning of tissues and organs depends on the health of individual cells. Disruptions in cellular voltage can have cascading effects on tissue and organ function.
Harmful EMFs are high frequency, have short wavelengths, and penetrate the body constantly. Think EMFs from cell phones, WiFi routers, and microwaves. On the other hand, good EMFs—in other words therapeutic PEMFs—are low frequency, have long wavelengths, and they're pulsed, so they're not continuous.High-frequency EMFs are disruptive to the body because they ionise (charge) cellular atoms, altering DNA. By contrast, PEMFs, which are low frequency, are far more similar to natural frequencies, like those found in thunderstorms, and therefore have no negative impact.
