FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
WHAT IS MAGNAWAVE PEMF?
~ A pulsating electro-magnetic field delivered to the body through a coil is said to produce one main result: stimulating cell metabolism. This action is thought to cause a chain of processes in the body that could lead to improvement of health without side effects. Increased oxygenation and blood flow helps support the bodies natural function and optimal wellness in a drug- free way.
​
IS MAGNAWAVE PEMF SAFE TO USE FOR MY EQUINE ATHLETE OR PET?
~ MagnaWave PEMF machines are not medical devices and do not treat or cure diseases or their symptoms. We always recommend consulting with your veterinarian concerning your equine/pets wellness program, but generally yes they are safe to use. We will talk to you about any contraindications.
​
IS IT THE SAME AS OTHER MAGNETIC THERAPY BLANKETS?
~ While the therapy is similar, MagnaWave is not a static magnet. The difference is in the delivery method, power and how MagnaWave PEMF yields a deeper penetration. The higher power of MagnaWave PEMF provides shorter treatment times and often immediate results. What the blankets can do in 2 to 3 weeks most MagnaWave machines can do in 10 minutes.
​
HOW LONG DOES A SESSION TAKE?
~ Normal session time is 30-60 minutes and can vary depending on the situation.
​
CAN MAGNAWAVE BE USED PRE-EVENT?
~ Yes, however, we recommend that you try MagnaWave ahead of time, since different horses/pets react differently to a session. We have found that some clients are more relaxed after the therapy, so they might not have the same edge before an event. Other clients are not affected in that way and are ready to perform.
​
WHEN CAN MY EQUINE ATHLETE OR PET BE RIDDEN/WORKED AFTER A SESSION? AND HOW LONG WILL THE RESULTS LAST?
~ Immediately, there is no recovery time. Results can last a day or weeks depending on the issue. In a performance situation 1-2 sessions per week is normally sufficient.
​
HOW DOES IT SHOW AREAS OF SENSITIVITY?
~ Muscle tissue palpitates in sensitive areas due to some type of resistance in the area & increased oxygenation and molecule movement in the cells. So, in layman's terms, the muscles will "twitch" when the coils is over the area and running.
​
WHY TREAT THE WHOLE BODY WHEN THE PROBLEM IS IN ONE AREA?
~ By increasing the blood oxygen in the whole body, the sensitive area continues to be benefited as super oxygenated blood from the rest of the body continues to flow through the area. We will discuss how best to approach your issue with you during your session.
​
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS DURING A SESSION?
~ The blood oxygen is increased, lymphatic system is activated and acupuncture points are stimulated. This process reduces pain and inflammation and promotes healing. The oxygenation of the blood helps relieve inflammation, thus relieving pain and helping the body begin to heal itself naturally.
​
CAN MAGNAWAVE PEMF BE USED ON A HORSE/PET WITH MICROCHIPS, STINTS, OR METAL IMPLANTS?
~Yes. While the magnetic field will not go through metal it will go around implants to the surrounding tissue. Microchips have not been affected.
​
WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AFTER MY FIRST SESSION?
~ A MagnaWave PEMF session can vary for each client. Diet, lifestyle, activity level, hydration, general health, & stress levels all contribute to how MagnaWave will work and how your equine athlete/pet feels after sessions. MagnaWave PEMF can help them feel energized, and this feeling can build for a few hours after a session. It is important to keep track of how they are feeling and for how long after each session. It tells us as well as your veterinarian how many sessions they will need to achieve your goals.
If you notice your equine athlete/pet having less energy after a session, this may be due to a detox reaction. The body wants to clean house and is getting rid of toxins. Resting and keeping them hydrated may support this detox reaction.
