Disclaimer:  

PEMF therapy is intended to be a supplement to, and NOT a substitute for professional medical care and treatment.  In the case of any serious medical ailment or condition you should ALWAYS consult your doctor or licensed professional for advice. 

 

PEMF therapy will NOT counteract poor health decisions.  You need to do your part with a healthy diet, proper hydration, exercise, stress reduction, and avoid putting toxins in and on your body.
 

PEMF therapy does not target any particular disease or condition.  PEMF helps in maximizing cellular function and circulation so the body can heal itself.  Long term imbalances in the body may require multiple and regular sessions in order to facilitate and maintain the level of healing desired.

​

  

What is PEMF?

Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) mats use magnets to work with electric energy in the body. The pulsed electromagnetic fields of various frequencies pass deep into muscle, tendons, tissue, and bone, promoting natural healing and recovery.  Each cell in our body can be thought of as a small battery that requires a charge to function optimally. PEMF therapy effectively ‘recharges’ these cells, thereby enhancing their natural functions.

 

​

How does PEMF work?

PEMF therapy works by stimulating the body’s cells and tissues. The electromagnetic fields penetrate the body and create a cascade of biochemical reactions that promote healing and reduce pain.

 

 

What happens during a PEMF session?

The client lies comfortably on a PEMF mat, with pillows and blankets for comfort.  Once the equipment is set, the client simply relaxes for the duration of the session. 

 

 

What does a session feel like?

Most (if not all) do not feel any physical sensations during the session.  Some may feel tingling or "wave-like" sensations.  Some will feel relaxed after a session.  Some will feel energized after a session

 

 

What are the side effects? 

The risks of PEMF therapy are very low. Some people may experience mild side effects, such as headache or nausea. However, these side effects are usually mild and go away on their own.

​

​

Who should not use PEMF?

PEMF therapy is generally safe for most people. However, there are a few groups of people who should not use PEMF therapy, including:

• Epilepsy

• Pregnancy

• People with pacemakers or other electrical implants: The electromagnetic fields emitted by PEMF devices can interfere with the function of pacemakers and other electrical implants, including insulin pumps

• People with active bleeding: The electromagnetic fields emitted by PEMF devices can slow down blood clotting

The iMRS PEMF system may only be used with the approval of a doctor, and under his/her supervision in the case of:

• Tumor illnesses

• Serious cardiac arrhythmia

• Acute attacks of hyperthyroidism

The weight limit for this device is 350 pounds

   

How long is a session?

PEMF therapy is typically applied from 8-30 minutes.  PEMF sessions at In Flow Reiki are 15-25 minutes, followed by Reiki.

​

 

How many sessions will I need?

Everyone responds to PEMF differently.  Some will achieve the desired healing level very quickly, while others may take longer to achieve the same level of healing.  Listen to your body after each session to decide.

​

 

Is PEMF only for when I am sick?

No, PEMF is great for maintaining and optimizing their physical health.

​

​

Is PEMF scientifically backed?

PEMF is FDA Approved for Bone fractures, Wound Healing, Pain, Tissue Swelling and Depression.  The scientific evidence for PEMF therapy is based on the theory that the electromagnetic fields emitted by PEMF devices can interact with the body’s cells and tissues, stimulating them to repair themselves. The currents induced in tissues by PEMF mimic the natural electrical activities created within bones during movements. This may help to improve circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote healing.

 

​

Is there anything I need to do after the session?

Drink plenty of water before and after. Water helps to eliminate toxins released by treatment.

 

 

Does PEMF replace Reiki therapy?

No, but it is a perfect complement to Reiki therapy when more physical healing is desired.  Reiki heals on emotional and spiritual levels as well as physical.
