This post covers the practical side of using PEMF at home: what to look at on a system, how to set it up, how to fit sessions into your week and what to check before you start. It keeps to equipment and routine.
Choose a system by its specification
PEMF systems differ in their frequency range and in the intensity options they offer. Read both on the specification sheet before you choose, and ask whoever sells the system about anything the sheet leaves out. Do your own research as well.
Set it up as the maker describes
Follow the maker’s instructions for assembly and connection, and put the system in the room where you plan to use it. Where you lie, sit or place it depends on the system you own, so the manual for that system is your guide.
Keep sessions regular
Pick a time of day that suits your household and use the system in regular sessions. A fixed time is easier to keep than a loose plan.
Check with your doctor before you start
If you are unsure whether a PEMF system suits you, talk to your doctor first. PEMF systems are not suitable for people with epilepsy, during pregnancy, or for people with certain implants. Read the maker’s instructions for the full list of cautions.
