PEMF and Pilates
PEMF is "yoga for your cells" or "massage for cell Membranes", it is an energetic modality to enhance your body's natural ability to heal itself. PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field. All of your body's systems run on cellular function and each cell in your body uses energy as its fuel. When a cell is sick or injured, the energy (or charge) in that cell is lower than it should be. The first signs that your cells need energy is fatigue, weakness, reduced function, pain, disease and mental imbalances.
PEMF and Pilates
Each cell in your body is like a battery capable of holding a charge, similar to your cellphone, when the battery is low it needs to be recharged. The Earth’s Magnetic Field is one way to recharge your cells, that's why people are drawn to walking barefoot on the beach. The oceans' salt water is a great conductor of energy and helps to transfer magnetic energy from earth to the body. PEMF Cellular Exercise is a powerful substitute!
How does it work?
PEMF Cellular exercise penetrates the body to work deep into your cells causing a strike of energy to your cells which the body then manipulates. This strike or stimulation creates an expansion and contraction of the cell similar to what happens during yogic and Pilates exercise and makes it a perfect complement to your exercise routine. As your cells are exercised (expanded & contracted), the membrane is massaged and opens and becomes a viable recipient able to receive nutrients and release toxins. The energy currents increase blood flow to the open cells and enable the intake of nutrients, the ability to flush out toxins and waste, to function properly and reproduce new healthy cells. Students report feeling relaxed, energized and having a general sense of wellbeing.
FDA approves PEMF Technology
Although most PEMF machines sold in the US are not FDA approved the PEMF technology is FDA approved for many uses:
In 1979, the FDA approved PEMF Therapy for the healing of nonunion fractures.
In 1998, the FDA approved PEMF Therapy for urinary incontinence and muscle stimulation.
In 2004, the FDA approved PEMF Therapy for cervical fusion patients at high-risk of non-fusion.
In 2008, the FDA approved PEMF Therapy for treatment of depression and anxiety.
In 2011, the FDA approved PEMF Therapy for treatment of brain cancer.
PEMF and Pilates
PEMF and Pilates complement each other. The results of this study show that PEMFs can have an effect on muscular activity, suggesting potential applications in sport disciplines. Based on the present results, PEMF stimulation could be used during light physical effort in order to enhance the amplitude of muscular responses to exercise.
PEMFs might be used at a high intensity of physical effort or during hard work-out sessions in order to boost the glycolytic metabolism of type-II fibers in response to heavy workloads and increase the benefits of an exercise program such as peripheral heart action training.
PEMF stimulation could also be applied during warm-up to raise the amplitude of muscular responses during the preparatory activity of different performances such as jumps, shots or sprints. PEMF stimulation could also be applied during light exercise or low aerobic intensity in order to increase the overall muscular response. Finally, due to the effect of PEMFs on succinate and malate dehydrogenase in rat quadriceps, it could be a possible effect of microsimulation on the aerobic activity over short and long distances.
