What Is PEMF Therapy? Benefits of Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Treatment
Understanding PEMF Therapy
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) therapy uses high-intensity electromagnetic waves to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. At SB Physio, we use the PULSE, a high-intensity PEMF system as part of our Recovery Room services to support healing, reduce pain, and improve recovery.
How PEMF Works
PEMF therapy delivers electromagnetic pulses into the body that:
Increase cellular energy (ATP production) to support healing
Improve circulation and oxygenation of tissues
Reduce inflammation and swelling
Stimulate recovery in muscles, tendons, and joints
Unlike medications, PEMF is non-invasive and does not mask pain—it works by supporting the body’s natural repair systems.
Benefits of PEMF Therapy
PEMF has been studied for its role in:
Sports recovery: Reducing soreness and speeding up return to training
Joint and muscle health: Supporting mobility and function in areas stressed by activity or injury
Pain management: Helping decrease discomfort from chronic or acute issues
General wellness: Boosting energy, circulation, and resilience
What a Session Feels Like
During a session, you’ll sit or lie comfortably while the PULSE applicator is positioned near the treatment area. You may feel gentle tapping or pulsing sensations as the electromagnetic field works through your body. Sessions are brief, comfortable, and require no downtime afterward.
