A PEMF mat is a mat imbued with PEMF therapy technology, which emits pulses of electromagnetic energy to energize and repair cells in the body.
PEMF mats provide PEMF therapy to users over a large area, which can aid in wound healing, pain management, bone fracture healing, and even reducing depressive symptoms.
PEMF mats are one facet of pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, and have been used successfully in home and professional settings, alike.
PEMF mats can be found in homes and therapy clinics alike, as mats are considered one of the easiest and most effective ways to deliver PEMF therapy to the body.
Mats are prized for their ease of use, as you simply sit or lie on the mat in question, and their durability.
Most mats are attached to a box (the “controller”), and the coils responsible for emitting the EMF pulses are embedded within the body of the mat.
It is through these coils that the electromagnetic field penetrates the body, energizing cells and equipping them to carry out their normal functions, including intra-and-intercellular communication, energy production, energy use, and healing responses, such as inflammation and immune activation.
PEMF mats are therapy mats that aid cells in aligning to their ideal function.
Some PEMF machines are equipped with wands or bands to place on or around a specific area of the body.
PEMF mats are designed to provide a large-scale PEMF experience, targeting as much of the body as the mat is able to reach.
Mats are usually constructed with extremely durable materials, and are typically designed to be easily toted from place to place.
Although some offices may use PEMF mats, many are specifically created with home use in mind, and allow you to receive PEMF treatments in a comfortable reclined position, with various predetermined settings and suggestions.
PEMF mats are also frequently equipped with additional therapy modalities, in order to enhance the efficacy of all involved therapies.
One mat, called the HealthyLine Platinum, for instance, includes PEMF therapy, infrared therapy, and crystal therapy in a single mat, providing the all-over administration of multiple types of therapy.
In this respect, mats are often considered the ideal form of PEMF delivery, as they make it difficult to miss or incorrectly administer PEMF, even while at home or outside of a professional, clinical setting.
PEMF mats range widely in terms of available services, sizes, and prices.
Some mats start out in the hundreds, while others reach well into the thousands.
Mat size, company reputation, and therapy availability can all play a role in the marketing, production, and sale of a PEMF mat, with the more robust or well-established mats typically costing the most.
Trusted PEMF mats are usually those that follow specific guidelines identified in safety studies, including waveforms of either a square, sine, or saw tooth shape, and frequencies at or below 10,000 Hz.
PEMF mats using these specifications most closely mimic the natural energetic frequency of the earth and human bodies, and can more readily energize the body and align communication pathways between cells.
