Frequently Asked Questions About PEMF Therapy
What is PEMF therapy?
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy. It uses electromagnetic fields to stimulate the body’s natural processes at a cellular level. Think of it as a way to recharge your cells, supporting relaxation, circulation, and overall wellness. It’s non-invasive, gentle, and used worldwide, including by NASA for astronaut recovery.
There are plenty of resources right here on this site if you would like to delve a little deeper into understanding PEMF.
Is PEMF therapy safe?
Yes! PEMF therapy has been studied extensively and is widely regarded as safe for general wellness use. NASA’s research into PEMF for cellular health supports its use for enhancing cell function and recovery (Goodwin, 2003). It has been around for decades and is used by athletes, wellness enthusiasts, and those looking for a relaxing and restorative experience.
At RegenClinic, we follow strict safety guidelines and ensure sessions are tailored to your needs. If you have concerns, chat with us before your session!
What does PEMF therapy feel like?
Most people describe PEMF as a gentle pulsing or tapping sensation. Some feel a mild warmth, while others experience a light tingling. Many clients find it deeply relaxing—some even fall asleep during their session! The intensity can be adjusted to ensure you’re comfortable.
Some people even like a more intense pulse and push the intensity higher to the point of discomfort so they really feel like they are reaping the benefits! You’ll still feel good with a lower power pulse, but the session can be tailored exactly to you.
Can everyone use PEMF therapy?
PEMF is safe for most people, but there are some contraindications. You should NOT use PEMF if you:
Have an implanted medical device, including, but not limited to, pacemakers, defibrillators, cochlear implants, and blood glucose monitors. Have any implanted magnetic devices or implants that are not MRI-safe. PEMF could interfere with their function.
Are pregnant – There isn’t enough research on PEMF and pregnancy, so it is not recommended.
Do you have active deep vein thrombosis (DVT), blood Clots, or vascular hemorrhage? PEMF may improve circulation, but for those with blood clotting issues, this can be a risk.
Have untreated epilepsy or a history of seizures – Some electromagnetic frequencies may trigger seizures in sensitive individuals.
Are a recipient of an organ transplant. PEMF could trigger an immune response that can override your immunosuppressive medication, which could jeopardise your transplant.
The following list are not contraindications, but you must wait the recommended time before booking.
I hurt myself and am actively bleeding? Please wait until the wound has settled and is no longer bleeding; periods are safe.
Have you had a joint injection within the last week? Yes, limb injections. Please wait a minimum of 3 days to book or Yes, deeper joint injection (i.e spine, hip, shoulder). Please wait a minimum of 7 days to book.
Have you had a recent surgery? Yes. Wait until active bleeding stops and your physician clears you for light exercise before booking.
Are you battling Cancer? If yes, wait 3 to 5 days after infusions or treatments before PEMF sessions for complementary wellness benefits.
How many PEMF sessions do I need to feel results?
This varies based on individual wellness goals. Some people feel immediate relaxation after their first session, while others notice benefits after a few sessions. Regular use is recommended for ongoing support. Many clients at RegenClinic come in 1-3 times a week, depending on their needs.
PEMF is considered “cellular exercise”. That means you will get the most benefit when you treat it like an exercise regime, but instead of working on your muscles, you’re working on your cells.

How does PEMF compare to other recovery methods?
PEMF is a great complementary tool alongside other wellness practices:
Massage – Massage works externally, while PEMF supports cells from the inside out.
Acupuncture – Acupuncture targets energy points with needles; PEMF stimulates similar responses without needles.
Infrared Saunas – Infrared heat relaxes muscles, while PEMF improves circulation without raising body temperature.
PEMF is non-invasive, contact-free, and fits into busy lifestyles, making it a great recovery option for athletes, gym-goers, and wellness seekers.
