According to research, the body’s cells are similar to batteries. They hold a charge and can easily become depleted over time by environmental stressors, injury, or trauma. PEMF generates energy at a cellular level which then gives the body the optimal opportunity to recharge, naturally. Loops are designed to effectively apply a pulsing electromagnetic field to the body without needing to introduce any medically invasive tools or procedures.

PEMF detects on the body areas of soreness. This is where “pulsing” is shown on the body. It takes up to two minutes for cellular turnover to occur, which usually will result in the horses “releasing”. Signs of this are yawning, licking/chewing, snorting, pawing, or all of these!

When our cells become depleted — from lack of nutrition, injury, trauma, inflammation or other environmental factors — our body does not function at it’s optimal level. PEMF therapy can affect cell membrane potential and permeability, leading to increased cellular energy production (ATP). This increased energy is crucial for cellular repair and regeneration.

PEMFs aid in stimulating the dilation of blood vessels, improving blood flow and oxygen delivery to tissues, which is vital for healing and tissue health. This also helps remove waste products from the cells, decease inflammation, and reduce swelling.

With increased circulation and less inflammation, PEMF may support the extension of muscle fibers for a higher active range of motion, freer movement, and a smoother, longer stride.

Studies have shown that PEMF triggers a decrease in perceived muscle soreness, minimizing stall rest or downtime. This is a great addition to your conditioning program to keep horses moving and feeling their optimal best with any training program.

Therapy can be done almost anywhere! All we need is an electrical outlet. Some horses prefer the comfort of their stall while others might do well loosely tied or snacking to maintain stillness. After a few sessions most horses will relax and stand comfortably due to the positive affects PEMF has on the nervous system.

Animals often experience PEMF as a soothing, restorative modality. Studies have shown that PEMF has the ability to stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system (the body’s “rest and digest” response) at a pattern identical to that of manual acupuncture!
