With consistent daily application, BEMER PEMF therapy enhances blood flow to your muscles. When your muscles have greater access to oxygenated blood, your body will be better equipped to cope with intense training sessions, boosting your conditioning and endurance.

Using levels 1, 2, or 3 with the B.PAD after intensive training (including strength training) is the best way to recover. Before heavy training sessions or competitions, you can dial in higher intensities to prime your muscles for optimal performance. 

Because BEMER only supports the body’s natural processes, without any added substances, it can’t be considered doping. You can see a boost in your performance, but only in combination with consistent and high-quality training. 

Whereas icing decreases local circulation, BEMER does the exact opposite by increasing localized blood flow. When you ice an injured or swollen area, the cold causes your blood vessels to constrict and limits blood flow. This method is a great way to temporarily relieve inflammation, pain, and bleeding for the first few days following an acute injury. But limited blood flow means limited recovery. In the days after acute injuries, or for any overuse issues, BEMER PEMF therapy is a much more effective sports recovery tool. BEMER uses a targeted PEMF signal to boost electrical activity in healthy muscle cells, increasing local circulation and flooding your muscles with nourishing oxygen, enhancing everything from recovery to muscle conditioning to recovery. While icing works as an effective band-aid, BEMER is your recovery and performance solution. 

Sports massages are an excellent way to treat minor injuries and work through tight muscles. Using special techniques like deep tissue or compression massages, your therapist can target problem areas to induce deep muscle relaxation, improve local circulation, and increase lymph drainage. In these ways, sports massages have a lot in common with BEMER. However, your massage therapist can only apply so much external pressure. What separates BEMER from a sports massage is its ability to reach through the body and down to the cellular level to improve your body’s natural processes. By promoting optimal muscle cell function, daily BEMER PEMF therapy provides all the benefits of a sports massage, only much more effectively. Plus, you can experience the added benefit of improved performance, energy, vitality, and much more. While BEMER use doesn’t replace a sports massage, these two recovery methods can be combined for peak recovery potential.

Saunas are an excellent way to increase circulation and reduce lactic acid after a workout. But unfortunately, these benefits come at a price. Naturally, saunas get incredibly hot. When exposed to so much heat, the body has to create large amounts of sweat to regulate its internal temperature. For athletes, this can negatively impact sports performance, robbing their muscles of vital energy and resources. Also, the heat from saunas draws excess blood to the skin rather than to the muscles, where it’s needed most. BEMER doesn’t charge your muscles an energy fee for improved local blood flow and lactic acid removal, and you don’t have to sweat a drop. With BEMER, you can relax for a quick eight-minute PEMF session in the comfort of your own home with your thermostat at whatever temperature you like.

Compression boots use dynamic air compression to increase blood flow, improve lymphatic function, and flush out lactic acid. The regulated air pulses mimic leg muscle contractions, facilitating lymph drainage and cellular metabolism. However, the scientific research behind this technology is less than clear. While some studies show a notable reduction in muscle pain and increased local circulation, another study by the International Journal of Sports Medicine reported no significant difference after bouts of strenuous exercise. Nonetheless, compression boots can still serve as a more passive alternative to a sports massage. When compared to BEMER’s scientifically proven technology and convenient travel-sized system, BEMER comes out on top. With BEMER, you get many of the benefits of dynamic air compression and more in a compact package, without any uncomfortable boots or sleeves to wear.

During a BEMER session, you may feel a low-frequency movement through your body. A sense of calm energy as if you just finished a yoga session. While each person responds differently, there is a compounding effect — The more consistently you use BEMER, the greater the results you experience, and the more attuned your body becomes from the therapeutic frequencies. Every day you use your BEMER, the increase in local blood flow will provide you with newfound energy, stress relief, and wellbeing.

If you use BEMER more often than recommended, you may experience some mild symptoms like drowsiness. For optimal results, we encourage users to harness the power of their BEMER as directed — two eight-minute sessions per day, using the Basic Plan. Following the saying, “Start low and go slow” will ensure you don’t push your body more than it can effectively respond to BEMER PEMF therapy. When using the lower settings, you may notice yourself become sleepy, but this is normal. These settings are meant to ease tension in healthy muscles, so the relaxation you can feel may cause some drowsiness. With the BEMER, one of the safest technologies to improve your health and wellbeing is at your fingertips.

Yes. Although BEMER has far fewer contraindications than most medical devices, there are several cases where PEMF therapy should be avoided entirely. The following absolute contraindications must be observed:

• Immunosuppressive therapy in consequence of transplantation
• Immunosuppressive therapy in consequence of allogenic cellular transplantations or bone marrow stem cell transplantation
• Other conditions often requiring immunosuppressive therapy, e.g. autoimmune diseases or dermatological diseases are not contraindications to the use of BEMER therapy. BEMER therapy application has to be cleared by the physician in charge.
• Do not use the device if you have a diagnosed Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT)
• Active medical implants that lead to stimulation (e.g. pacemakers, defibrillators, brain stimulators, muscle stimulators) represent a relative contraindication. The adjuvant application of the BEMER therapy must be discussed with the patient’s attending physician.
• All active medical implants that are intended to administer medication (medication pumps) are an absolute contraindication and prohibit the use of BEMER therapy.

To get the most out of your PEMF sessions, it’s best to be in a comfortable, relaxed position. If you have a favorite chair or spot on the couch that helps you decompress, that would be the perfect place to use your BEMER device. You can sit upright, recline, or lay down during your sessions, whichever feels most comfortable for you. Whatever position you choose, be sure to keep the area you’re targeting as close to the pad as possible.

No. A finely tuned athlete is well equipped to handle BEMER’s highest settings. That said, to maintain peak performance the body needs to recover, rest, and relax. While the highest settings are optimal for more energy, heightened local blood flow in healthy muscles, and increased performance, the low settings are engineered to promote deeper relaxation, improved recovery, and more profound sleep management. Therefore, if athletes want to continue performing at peak physical condition, we recommend finding a balance between the lower and higher settings during your BEMER PEMF therapy sessions.

Aside from the contraindications listed above, there are few health risks associated with BEMER PEMF therapy. If you’re under the care of a doctor, we recommend discussing BEMER therapy with them before incorporating it into your daily life. As the targeted PEMF signal optimizes local blood flow in your healthy muscles, your cells become flooded with oxygen, making them more effective at filtering out carbon dioxide. This detoxifying process can, in rare cases, cause mild fatigue or lightheadedness in new users. Symptoms like this are easily avoided by starting with the lower settings and working your way up as your body adjusts to the PEMF signals over time.

Thanks to BEMER’s patented PEMF signal, improved local blood flow aids in your recovery process. By dilating your capillaries, you can deliver more oxygen to your muscles, increasing your muscles’ capacity to perform. Also, with the increased blood flow, you’re able to remove carbon dioxide from your tissue, allowing you to recover faster and more efficiently. When you can train more often and more intensely, you’ll find your muscle strength and endurance will increase.

To prep your body for a workout, higher settings can increase local blood flow and warm up your muscles. A quick pre-workout PEMF session will give you a boost of energy and activate your muscles for maximum strength, endurance, and overall performance. A short, 8-minute session on BEMER is comparable to an active warmup. Using BEMER for a pre-workout warmup, you may find that you can work harder for longer, your threshold for fatigue increases, and your overall physical fitness improves. Think of BEMER PEMF therapy like a scoop of pre-workout for your muscles. 

At BEMER, we like to let our results speak for themselves. For the past twenty years, we’ve developed and perfected our own unique PEMF signal specifically designed to optimize your body’s natural functions. The technology and power behind this one-of-a-kind signal has drawn attention from professional athletes and organizations around the globe. In February of 2020, the FDA recognized BEMER as a Class II medical device, making it the only cleared Class II PEMF device on the US market. Our team of professional ambassadors includes Olympic gold-winning swimmers, Winter X-Games competitors, champion equestrians, and Academy Award-winning film directors, and it grows bigger every year. We have a partnership with the NFL Alumni Association and a joint collaboration with NASA to integrate BEMER technology into the undergarments of spacesuits. At BEMER, our mission is to continue to lead the PEMF movement into the future and bring the life-enhancing benefits of this groundbreaking technology to as many people as possible.

The B.SPOT and B.PAD applicators give you the flexibility to target anywhere on your body with ease. If you want to focus on your back or upper thighs, you can wrap the B.PAD around the area to apply BEMER’s therapeutic PEMF signal. If you struggle with stiff or sore elbows or a calf issue, place the B.SPOT applicator directly on the “spot” to optimize local blood flow. For areas like the lower legs, it may be difficult to hold the B.SPOT in place for a full eight minutes. For example, let’s say you want to target your achilles tendon region. To help you relax during your session, you can wrap the B.PAD around your ankle to avoid sitting awkwardly to reach the area.

We recommend using BEMER for pre-workout warmups, post-training recovery sessions, and twice a day for general maintenance and overall performance. The great thing about BEMER is that you can work your sessions into your schedule however you like. If you want to kickstart your day with a session right after you get out of bed in the morning, you can use a medium to high setting to get the blood flowing. If you want to wind down for the night, you can dial in a low setting right before bed. And the same goes for your workouts. If you want a boost of energy before training, add a PEMF therapy session to your pre-workout routine. For optimal recovery, use BEMER after your training to cool-down and revitalize your muscles with oxygen. The “most optimum times” to use your BEMER device are when it works best for you, your schedule, and your body.
