Sport Activities

A Versatile Wellness Modality for Active Lifestyles

Traditional Approaches

Athletes are often seen with ice packs after training or competition. These are typically used to cool the surface of the body. However, ice may not reach deeper layers effectively and extended use on the surface can risk discomfort or tissue stiffening.

PEMF, by contrast, is non-invasive and can be applied comfortably to the entire body. It offers a modern wellness approach that complements other recovery routine

PEMF for Sporting Activities

With any injury, the body will take its usual time to repair. If you are a sportsman, it is important to be back playing sports as soon as possible. A PEMF therapy machine is a useful modality for athletes.

Concussion

A concussion is a type of mild traumatic brain damage that occurs with a hit or knock to the head with force.  This results in chemical alterations in the brain, as well as damage to the brain cells in some cases.

Symptoms usually reflect a functional disturbance to the brain, and may include:

Physical – headaches, nausea

Emotional – irritability, sadness

Cognitive – difficulty with concentration or memory

Maintenance – sleep disturbances, changes in appetite or energy levels

Because most current treatment methods involve education and various symptom management, there is an important need for other wholistic modalities.

The science clearly demonstrates that pulsed electromagnetic fields penetrate all tissues of the body equally, regardless of tissue type. 

A Wellness Approach for Bodies with a Sporting Past

If you played sports in your youth, you know the toll it can take over time. Many people, even decades later, look for ways to support their body’s recovery and mobility. Our PEMF wellness system fits seamlessly into a daily routine — whether you’re relaxing, watching TV, or simply winding down after the day.

Common Sporting Injuries:

1. Injury to the Shoulder

Injuries to the shoulder are common in a variety of sports. Warming up the muscle first is the best form of prevention. Before the event, use the rowing machine if in the gym. Go for a walk, swing your arms and stretch.

2. Runner’s Knee

One of the most common sports injuries treated by orthopaedic surgeons is a knee injury. Wear cushioning insoles inside your running shoes. Before running, you should stretch and warm up thoroughly. Run on the grass to absorb the shock to the knees instead running of cement.

3. Shin Splints

Shin splint pain is characterized by inflammation of the muscle tissue that support the shinbone’s inner side. The best way to protect will be to wear comfortable shoes and stretch the legs before and after the run.

Place the PEMF pad under your feet while sitting in a chair.

4. Muscle Strain

Calves and hamstrings are the most commonly pulled muscles. Stretching properly is a simple way to prevent injury. RICE and gentle stretching are recommended treatments.

PEMF Protocol: Lay on whole body mat applicator using both PEMF and far infrared heat for muscle relaxation.

5. Achilles Tendinitis

Make it a daily habit to stretch your calves and achilleas tendon. It’s best to wait until it’s completely healed before getting back running or fast paced sporting activities.

Place both feet on top of the PEMF pad while sitting in a chair. The magnetic field travels throught the feet and up the leg.

6. Concussion

This injury is usually caused by a blow to the head, which causes disorientation and dizziness, among other symptoms. Our best prevention advice is to avoid all contact sports or to wear a padded helmet. Recovery requires time and rest.

7. Ankle Sprains

Sprains of the ankle are common in sports that require a lot of running and turning quickly. Prevention necessitates ankle strengthening in the gym. After an injury, apply ice.

8. Tennis Elbow

Elbow injuries account for approximately 8% of all sports injuries.  Use small hand weights to strengthen the wrists and forearms.

9. Lower Back Ache

Lower back pain can be caused by a variety of sports. Warm up the area properly with yoga stretches.

10. Groin strain

Warming up the legs with a walk or treadmill and stretching are the best preventative measures.
