Picture ending a busy week by lying down on a warm mat in a tranquil room of your own, with nothing to do but breathe and unwind. For those who enjoy a quiet moment to relax, that’s the kind of experience our PEMF sessions are designed to provide.
Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields, Explained Simply
PEMF stands for pulsed electromagnetic field therapy. It uses electromagnetic fields that pulse at specific, low frequencies. In our office, we use a Clearlight Amethyst infrared PEMF mat, which pairs low-frequency PEMF with soothing infrared heat and amethyst crystals.
PEMF has been studied for potential applications in pain management and musculoskeletal health, although evidence varies by condition and device.
A Partner to Red Light Therapy
At Elements of Health, PEMF is a complementary wellness service. Practice members rest on the mat during their red and infrared light therapy sessions.
Red and infrared light therapy is being studied for its potential effects on cellular processes, while the PEMF mat provides a comfortable place to rest and unwind during the session.
What Happens During Your Session
You’ll have a private relaxation room, where you rest on the mat for 30 to 45 minutes during your red light therapy. The heat adjusts from minimal warmth to a warmer setting, so you can choose what feels comfortable.
Who Should Check Before Using PEMF?
PEMF may not be appropriate for everyone. If you’re pregnant or have a pacemaker, implantable defibrillator, nerve stimulator, insulin pump, or another electronic medical device, speak with your healthcare provider before scheduling a session. Be sure to tell our team about any medical conditions or implanted devices so we can discuss whether this service is appropriate for you.
How Often Should You Come In?
For general relaxation, some people choose to use the mat during their regular visits. Those incorporating PEMF into a broader red light therapy plan may be advised to come in two to three times per week, depending on their individual circumstances.
Make Time to Recharge
Your body works hard every day, and sometimes it simply needs a quiet place to recharge. Wondering whether PEMF belongs in your wellness routine? Contact Elements of Health today to schedule your first session.
