PEMF Buyers Guide
Our top 3 tips on choosing a PEMF device
1
Choose the highest intensity system in relation to your budget
The maximum intensity (strength measured in Gauss) cannot be raised with low intensity devices; however, it can be lowered in most devices with higher maximum intensities. Therefore, these are a better longer-term investment as, you have a wider range of intensities and applications for you or your family to choose from. Higher intensity devices tend to have a much larger treatment area and can reach those hard to get to areas within the body.
2
If possible, start with a full body mat
There’s a good reason that PEMF full body mats are still the most popular way of using the therapy! A full body mat provides a larger treatment area and has a wider range of applications when compared to a localised device. It’s important to improve full body circulation and overall cell health, even when focussing on a specific area of the body.
3
Make sure a device and session times fit into your life
PEMF devices come with a lifetime commitment as once you discover the benefits you won’t want to live without them. Consider that an average PEMF session can be anything from 10-30 minutes, once or twice a day. Internal batteries give you freedom from wall sockets and if you can recharge your health during your normal down time in front of the tv, while you sleep, within your morning meditation or as part of your normal daily routine, you are onto a winner.
It’s important to note
If a PEMF manufacturer does not advertise their magnetitic field intensity (Gauss) or they promote it as Milligauss or Microtesla (µT), then run for the hills! Generally, this is a major red flag that their intensity is not strong enough to have a therapeutic effect. We are seeing PEMFs being thrown into many different devices these days as the benefits are starting to make serious traction in mainstream medical advances. However, a lot of these companies are adding PEMFs at such low levels in order to be able to promote that their device has it, but they may not actually have any benefits to a user due to the super low intensities and how cost effective it is to make low intensity PEMFs compared to devices that offer higher intensities, due to the amount of copper that is needed. If you are thinking of investing in an infrared, vibration or electrical stimulation mat that advertises PEMFs too, make sure you find out the intensity they offer before you commit. We believe if you are investing in PEMF and your health, then stick to a PEMF specific and specialised system.
What we don't sell and why
Why we don’t sell such devices as BEMER®, iMRS prime, HigherDose, Centropix…NewMed’s mission is to provide a one-stop-shop for PEMF devices and offer unbiassed advice on PEMF’s. Some companies do not allow the promotion of more than one PEMF manufacturer and they operate under a multi-level marketing (MLM) scheme or commission selling, which means there are lots of people involved in the sales process. This tends to drive the cost up of a device with less capabilities and magnetitic field intensity. This all goes against our core values and we will not represent certain brands.
Tracking your sessions
PEMF therapy’s benefits build gradually, so it’s important to track your progress over time. By monitoring pain levels, sleep quality, and mood, you’ll start to see patterns and improvements that may not be immediately obvious. Our journal helps you record daily experiences, guiding you to get the most from your PEMF device through consistent reflection and tracking.
