PEMF + Exercise: Train Hard, Recover Smarter
One of a series of articles by Pulse PEMF, the manufacturer of the PEMF therapy bed at Very Well in Baltimore, MD.
You’re putting in the work—sweating through reps, pushing your pace, showing up even when it’s hard.
But what if your results could go further with less soreness, faster recovery, and more energy to give?
PEMF therapy is proven to help optimize every part of your workout, from warm-up to recovery!
Why Athletes Love PEMF!
✅ Boost Energy, Reduce Fatigue
Just like plants need sunlight to grow, your cells need energy to repair and thrive! PEMF directly provides your cells with that crucial energy they need to keep your body strong and healthy. This can translate to increased energy levels during training, allowing you to push harder for longer.
✅ Accelerate Muscle Recovery
Recovery is where the real gains happen! PEMF supports your body’s natural self-healing abilities, helping muscles rebuild and repair faster and reducing downtime between workouts.
✅ Improve Flexibility & Range of Motion
You already know that stiff muscles and poor stretch routines are a huge no-no. Even 5 minutes with PEMF could help decrease perceived muscle soreness, potentially allowing for an improved range of motion during exercise. That means safer, more enjoyable movement!
✅ Ease Post-Workout Discomfort
You weren’t made to power through every ache like it’s a badge of honor. PEMF helps your body feel better—easing pain, stiffness, and sore days naturally—so you can keep going after your goals without pain getting in the way.
When to Use PEMF in Your Workout Routine
➡️ Pre-Workout
Want to go into your workout feeling looser, more energized, and ready to move?
Use PEMF for 30 minutes before training to prep your muscles and energize your cells.
Set your device’s PPS (Pulses Per Second) settings between 3.0 and 6.0.
Target your whole body or large muscle groups.
➡️ Post-Workout
After training, shift your PEMF session to promote recovery and help your body wind down.
Sessions of 30–60 minutes post-exercise are ideal for deep relaxation.
Set your device’s PPS settings between 7.0 and 9.9.
Target your whole body or areas of specific concern.
PEMF + Healthy Habits = Real, Lasting Results
Remember, PEMF gives your body the boost it needs to self-heal, recover, and perform at its best—but for those benefits to be long-lasting, your daily habits matter just as much.
➡️ Nutrition, hydration, and sleep are the foundation.
PEMF energizes your cells, but your cells still need quality fuel from whole foods and essential nutrients, proper hydration to move that energy efficiently, and deep, restful sleep to do the behind-the-scenes repair work.
When PEMF becomes part of your overall wellness lifestyle, you’ll feel stronger, think clearer, and recover faster… naturally. 💙
