What it is & what it does
PEMF therapy is a deeply relaxing treatment where you lie on a comfortable bed while a device sends gentle, low-frequency magnetic pulses through the body. These pulses safely pass through clothing, reaching muscles, joints, and tissues underneath.
Our bodies are naturally electrical and energetic systems — every heartbeat, every nerve signal, every cell function relies on tiny electrical charges. Over time, stress, fatigue, or injury can leave the body feeling “flat.” PEMF therapy gives that system a supportive “nudge,” helping restore balance, ease discomfort, and promote recovery.
In short: PEMF helps the body do what it’s designed to do — rest, repair, and recharge.
How it works
-
Pulsed magnetic field: The device switches its magnetic field on and off in precise bursts.
-
Cellular support: These pulses create subtle electrical changes that help cells communicate and function effectively.
-
Whole-body reach: The full-body mat allows the magnetic field to pass comfortably through the entire body, supporting general balance, recovery, and relaxation.
-
Targeted support: For areas of specific concern, we also use an isolator pillow which can be wrapped around or placed over the trouble spot — such as the back, knees, or shoulders. This allows concentrated pulses to be directed where you need them most for optimum healing and relief.
-
No effort required: Whether using the full mat or the isolator pillow, you simply rest and relax on the bed throughout the session.
Why people use it
Clients choose PEMF therapy to help with:
-
Easing aches, stiffness, and joint discomfort
-
Supporting muscle recovery after exercise or fatigue
-
Improving circulation and tissue oxygenation
-
Boosting overall energy levels
-
Supporting mood and relaxation
-
Promoting deeper, more restorative sleep
What to expect in a session
-
Session length: Treatments run between 8 and 24 minutes, depending on your needs.
-
Comfort: You remain fully clothed and simply lie back on the PEMF bed. Some people feel a gentle tapping, pulsing, or warmth; others feel nothing but relaxation.
-
Combination option: At Tory Urban Retreat, we also offer a 20-minute combined session — PEMF therapy delivered through the bed with infrared and red light therapy suspended above you. With the full-body infrared and red light lamp positioned overhead, it is a therapeutic pairing designed to support cellular recharge while delivering the benefits of light therapy. This innovative combination is exclusive to our space and provides clients with a restorative treatment designed to enhance recovery, relaxation, and wellbeing.
Safety & considerations
PEMF therapy has a strong record of safe use. Please avoid treatment if:
-
You have a pacemaker or implanted electronic medical device (the field may interfere).
-
You are pregnant and considering the combined PEMF + infrared/red light session — we do not offer this combined option at any stage of pregnancy. (If you are pregnant and considering standalone PEMF, please discuss with your clinician before booking.)
If you have health concerns, please check with your GP before booking.
