PEMF Therapy

PEMF - The Magnetizing Way to Stay HealthyThe positive effects of PEMF have been known for decades and is widely used for treating anything from acute athletic injuries to severe cases of insomnia, anxiety and serious pathologies. It is also very effective for mild to severe depression and PTSD symptoms.
PEMF Therapy is a powerful, pain-free, non-invasive alternative and/or complementary therapy. The devices delivers frequency pulses (electromagnetic energy) to the entire body (ALL 71 trillion cells) while simultaneously “locating and penetrating” specific areas of imbalance, where injury and instances of pain and inflammation are located. PEMF is applied to either the whole body on a full-body mat or to parts of the body using a small pad.
We use two different Health Canada Approved Medical PEMF Devices in our centre that offer a natural and noninvasive session, especially for those who are medication-resistant.
Depending on the issue, PEMF Therapy may only be needed for short period of time. However, the effects on the 3D mat last for up to 3 days (72hrs) hours.  This sets into motion cellular and whole-body changes to restore and maintain balance in metabolism and health, and to begin the regeneration process.  PEMF or pulsed electromagnetic field therapy has been approved by health authorities as medical therapy for human applications by Health Canada, the FDA, and EU.
PEMF can provide the following benefits: 
• Regenerates blood cells with movement and oxygenation
• Strengthens/boosts the immune system
• Encourages the body to become balanced so that vitamins and minerals are more easily absorbed
• Improves respiratory challenges
• Relaxes the nervous system
• Increases bone density
• Repairs chronic or acute injury
• Promotes improved sleep
• Detoxifies the body of impurities Learn MorePEMF is effective in relieving pain and/or providing cellular health benefits for over a thousand different pathologies or symptoms such as:

How long is a PEMF session?

 PEMF sessions are 30 minutes. 

 Important Notes:

• NO Caffeine prior to appointment. 

• NO CELL PHONES or WALLETS (i.e. with credit cards) near PEMF device. 

• DRINK WATER. It is a good habit to drink plenty of pure water before and after exposure to the pulsed magnetic field to maintain optimal cellular hydration and for the transport and elimination of toxins  

How often are sessions recommended?

It really does depend on what your issue is and varies from person to person. However, based on your consultation information and years of PEMF clinical research, a general protocol is suggested. For example sessions could be 1-5 per week for 1-4 weeks and depends on your personal requirements, as well as, how quickly your body reacts. Many people experience dramatic results within the first 1-2 weeks of therapy. For others, results come a little slower. PEMF therapy is a safe, easy to use, effective modality with no negative side effects and no known adverse side effects. PEMF can offer long-lasting, significant relief not only throughout the day, but also throughout the weeks and months as it mobilizes the body’s healing resources. 

What is a PEMF Session Like?

A PEMF session will essentially feel relaxing. All that is required is for you to lie down on a massage table that has a PEMF system full body mat on it. Clothes are kept on and no action or physical activity is required. Most people simply go to a restful, meditative state or simply fall asleep. Afterward, they arise from their PEMF experience feeling rested, peaceful and energized. In addition to the full-body mat, there is a powerful smaller pad and probe for application to specific affected areas.

What could I experience during a PEMF session?

Since everyone is unique and has different physical problems or conditions, each will experience something different and results will vary. There are numerous types of therapeutic and intensity settings on the clinical device to increase or decrease the effects. Therefore, a person can experience many different sensations. A feeling of tingling in an area of an old injury is commonly reported, while others say they feel a sense of wellness and relaxation. 

Who can use a PEMF session?

Everyone can use PEMF therapy from the very young to the elderly, from sedentary individuals to those that exercise daily. Essentially, anyone at any age group, any level of wellness or fitness, can benefit from using this technology while experiencing no negative side effects. 

Are there any contraindications?

YES, there are contraindications for PEMF therapy. Please ensure you DO NOT have any of these conditions or check with us and your doctor first if you do. Contraindications are: 

  • Pregnancy (not enough research) 

  • Implanted electronic device (pacemakers, hearing aids, etc.) 

  • Hearing aids must be removed prior to therapy 

  • Epilepsy

What other therapies you offer complement a PEMF Therapy session?

What people are saying.

Shoulder Pain "After only 1 session with the MRS2000 my shoulder pain has significantly decreased! The MRS session was also very relaxing and I felt very calm afterwards. I had been undergoing physical therapy for the shoulder and previously needed ice packs for the pain. I feel like a whole new person and am playing the harp again which I had stopped playing 20 years ago due to my shoulder pain and life stresses. I love the MRS2000.!" - Barbara Enjoying Freedom "Two years ago I was in a serious car accident that resulted in two herniations in my lower back.Through consistent physical therapy and chiropractic care I become relatively pain free, but never really felt the same. However, since using the MRS, my back actually feels the way it did BEFORE the accident. I am currently enjoying a level of strength, flexibility and freedom that I had previously believed to be unattainable. I’m very grateful to Sharon for providing these sessions and would recommend it to anyone living with chronic pain." - Jason  What a Relief it is! What a relief it is! I have had hip muscle pain, due to hip replacement, that just would not go away with exercise/ therapy but would make exercise painful to do. I was told I may have to live with it. Having used PEMF the muscle finally relaxed. I am able to lift my leg in exercises, walk up hill and go up and down the stairs without it acting up. It has been about two months and staying well. Its been a blessing.  - ChristinaTremendous Energy "I use to be exhausted all of the time. Since I've been doing PEMF Therapy, I have tremendous energy and I am in my 70's! PEMF has been such a blessing!" - Bonnie Able to Ski & Golf Again “I was a patient suffering from Osteoporosis in my hip and lower back area and although the pain subsided in a week of use with the PEMF device it was 5 months of daily use until I was able to ski and then play golf.” - Marie Fibromyalgia I feel like I have been let out of prison after 15 years of pain from Fibromyalgia and Chronic Fatigue. The PEMF sessions have also given me tons of energy and I sleep so much better.  - Carolyn

PEMF is liken to Whole Body Battery Recharger. The more energy your cells have, the more efficiently they carry out their many functions, the healthier you are!  .

Can Bowen Therapy help Asthma & Allergies?

What happens in an Asthma Attack?

Asthma has become a common condition. Almost everyone knows someone who is suffering from this debilitating condition. Some develop it from childhood and then grow out of it by adulthood whereas others develop it as adults.

Certain things can trigger the sensitive airways in asthmatics to ‘flare-up’, causing the muscles around the airways to contract making the airways swell and become narrow, making it harder to breathe.

Key organs involved in an asthma attack are not just the lungs but also the diaphragm. Normally the diaphragm contracts when breathing in and then relaxes to allow expiration. However, with asthma, the diaphragm goes into spasm and may

be at a level of constant contraction. This allows the asthmatic to breathe in but becomes increasingly difficult to breathe out.


What Causes Asthma Attacks?

Asthma can be caused by various factors like;

  • Pollution

  • Allergies (pet, food, dust, chemicals)

  • Food intolerances

  • Infections

  • It can also be hereditary

Asthma attacks build-up starting from an initial difficulty breathing, dry cough, tightness and pain in the chest, cough during the night, difficulty breathing and wheezing. The heart rate increases as the body struggles to breathe. The cough can cause capillaries in the face to get damaged which can be seen.


How Bowen Therapy Can Help Asthma

Bowen Therapy is a natural and gentle way to manage Asthma. The Bowen moves act directly through (the nerves in the fascia onto) the nervous system by relaxing and soothing it, which in turn relaxes and releases the tension in the diaphragm allowing the asthmatic to exhale and therefore breathe easier.

Over time this:

  • Improves breathing

  • Reduces the number of attacks and their severity

  • Reduces the sensitivity to the triggers

  • Helps them respond better to the medication when needed

  • Reduces the need for medication

  • Improve overall health

I like to teach my clients how to perform a small Bowen emergency move they can do themselves when they feel a tightness beginning to build so they manage the condition themselves. This move is also excellent for hiccups or coughing, even anxiety or panic attacks to help relieve and tight chest and normalize breathing.


Research Study on efficacy of Bowen Therapy in managing Asthma 

A National Research program (between October 2002 to March 2004) was launched to determine the efficacy of The Bowen Therapy in the treatment of the Asthma condition. The research was carried out over a twelve month period. The research was aimed at recording any changes in the Volunteer’s symptoms in terms of frequency, severity of attacks and reliance on medication.

The majority of 24 volunteers had been suffering from Asthma over 5 years, most for over 15 years.  The results were very positive.  

  • 83% reported a reduction in the frequency of their asthma attacks

  • 75% reported a reduction in the severity of their attacks

  • 75% reported using less medication than before the Bowen Research project. 

Of the 24 volunteers who completed the program, 22 reported that secondary health concerns had also improved, including back, neck and shoulder problems; knee and joint problems; headaches and migraines; hay fever; irritable bowel syndrome and digestion; circulation; insomnia; anxiety, stress, depression and energy level improvement.

The outcomes of the study are highly encouraging, as indicated by the unanimous recommendation from every Volunteer to suggest the Bowen Therapy to other individuals with Asthma. Unlike treating a particular ailment in isolation, Bowen Therapy influences the individual’s integrated biodynamic system. Since Asthma can be triggered by a multitude of factors such as emotional distress, stress levels, exercise, food, and environmental allergens, it is crucial to consider a holistic therapy like Bowen as a viable alternative for enhancing the well-being of Asthma patients.


Bowen Therapy Clients with Asthma


Girl, 2 years old, 4 Bowen Therapy treatment. At her first treatment she was very wheezy and had been prescribed steroids, which her mother was reluctant to use. Both parents smoke. The wheezing reduced after the first treatment and has now disappeared, though there was a period of mucus being produced. Her breathing has improved after 4 treatments, so much so that the school have commented on it. The steroids were discontinued before the first treatment. It is very difficult to treat a two-year-old child who is sitting and squirming on her mother's knees. However, it seemed to work well despite those difficulties. Normally, the child has had asthma attacks every two weeks or so during the winter. She has had none for over two months now. Her mother wrote: "My 2.5 year old daughter has suffered from asthma and also an over-production of mucus from birth. She has Ventolin and also Becotide on occasions. In November 1999, her asthma worsened and the GP advised restarting steroids at a higher dose. She took a severe reaction to steroids so we stopped them immediately. That week she received her first Bowen and has had treatment once or twice a month since. She has not needed any medication since; she has a very slight period of wheezing occasionally which is managed with essential oils. It has been a remarkable improvement, particularly as she is a lively two year old who doesn't always stay still for the treatments." Signed BC - Feb 2000

Boy, 6 years old, 1 Bowen Therapy treatment.  Jacobs' asthma was worsening and his mother did not tell him that his visit to a Bowen therapist was connected to his breathing problems. As he is normally quite a stubborn little boy and wary of anything new, his mother was surprised when he accepted the treatment and did as he was told. The next evening, when she reminded him to take his usual dose from his inhaler, he announced: "I don't need my puffer any more". He then enjoyed a summer free of asthma, including hour-long football practices with his brother, and a mountain-biking holiday.

Girl, 8 years old, 3 Bowen Therapy treatments. Suffers with asthma and chest infections. She was small for her age and had a poor appetite. She had 3 inhalers: 5 puffs of one twice a day; 3 of another twice a day and the last one every 4 hours. Distressed with the amount of medication Fiona was taking, her mother was looking for an alternative and discovered The Bowen Therapy. After one treatment, Fiona became full of life, energetic, hungry and didn't need the last 4 hourly inhaler. At the end of treatment 3, she was off all inhalers, had grown, was still full of life and hungry. At a routine check-up with the GP, just after Bowen treatment 3, he immediately picked up the difference. The bright, alert look in her eyes, weight and height gain, clear, good, strong breathing. He was so pleased he wanted Bowen information to give to other patients.

Boy (teenager), 2 Bowen Therapy treatments.  A teenager, Kirk had had asthma, a constant backache and severe 'morning motivational' problems for years. He often had problems getting to sleep, but after a 6.30 p.m. treatment he fell sound asleep till next morning. After two sessions he complained of little result, but carried on. After the third treatment, he drank a lot of water and has not looked back. His backache and asthma are gone and, amazingly, for the first time in his life he is experiencing a sustained motivation to get up and going in the mornings

Girl, 17 years old, 1 Bowen Emergency treatment. Junior Basketball Team Member, Katey, was involved with the multistage fitness test used to analyze an athlete's aerobic performance. A standard is expected at this level and the peer pressure to achieve the necessary grade is immense. Katey was struggling for breath soon into the test causing some concern early on. Determination kept her going until she had to stop because she could not gain a breath at all and had commenced a panic attack, which complicated the situation. Katey was removed from the concerned crowd and the Bowen emergency asthma move carried out. Immediately a normal breathing pattern resumed and after 30 minutes Katey carried on training with no further symptoms.
