While research on athletic performance and PEMF is ongoing, numerous studies have already demonstrate the positive benefits. As Dr. Magda Havas, Associate Professor of Environmental & Resource Studies at Trent University states, "PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) devices do not treat a specific condition. Instead they optimize the body’s natural self-healing and self-regulating function.” By extension, PEMF can be used by athletes to maximize performance, speed up recovery time, and reduce the risk of injury.
