The of f icial journal of the A ssociation of


Char tered Physiotherapist s in Spor t s and
E xercise Medicine published a study on
PEMF’s impac t on delayed - onset muscle
soreness (DOMS) in biceps brachii on 30
healthy human subjec t s. Their objec tive
was to compare the ef fec t s of PEMF with
placebo treatment on variables in elbow
f lexors following an exercise regimen that
would induce muscle soreness.

“Overall, the application of the PEMF


was found to be ef fective in reducing the physiological deficits associated
with DOMS [delayed onset muscle soreness], including improved recover y
of perceived muscle soreness, increased median frequency (MDF), and
enhanced electromechanical delay (EMD) during isometric contraction.”

In this study, researchers focused on


measuring heart rate variability (HRV),
a key physiological metric for well-
being. “An optimal level of HRV within
an organism reflects healthy function
and an inherent self-regulatory capacity,
adaptability, and resilience.” They found
that PEMF stimulation was identical to
that of manual acupuncture in increasing
HRV and activated the parasympathetic
nervous system, typically responsible for
rest and digestion.

“In conclusion, we found that manual acupuncture and electromagnetic field


stimulation [2 Hz and 460 gauss] at BL15 caused identical patterns for the
activation of the parasympathetic nervous system.”

technology on mouse bone marrow- derived macrophages (specialized cells
involved in the detec tion, phagoc y tosis and destruc tion of bac teria and

upregulation of anti - inf lammator y c y tokines (intercellular signalling molecules
involved in immunit y, inf lammation and hematopoiesis), downregulation of
inf lammator y c y tokines, and enhancement of macrophages.

“PEMF ef fects on macrophages* can enhance the body’s curative

Astoundingly, regardless of frequency or
duration, improvements were seen in different

“Based on the results of this study, we speculate that PEMF treatment may
increase tendon cell metabolism, which in turn increases both collagen
