How Professional Athletes Use PEMF

Professional athletes need to be on top of their game at all times. With their constantly high intensity games, injuries are common occurrences in an athlete’s life. It is therefore important that athletes find a way to always be at their optimum performance.

While most athletes have found ways to supplement their natural energy through supplements and shakes, what they do between sessions matters just as much.

Why Athletes Use PEMF

Here are some of the reasons athletes are interested in PEMF, and what research says so far.

Part of a Training Routine

Many athletes fit PEMF sessions into their training routine, before or after workouts. A portable device can be worn during warm-ups, travel or downtime, so it doesn’t add another appointment to a busy schedule.

Post-Workout Soreness

Researchers have looked at PEMF and delayed-onset muscle soreness, the stiffness that follows a hard or unfamiliar workout. In two small randomized studies (Jeon et al., 2015; Kouzaki and Nakazato, 2025), soreness eased faster with PEMF than in the comparison group, although one of them found no difference in muscle strength. Those studies used other PEMF devices, not FlexPulse.

What About Injuries?

PEMF is not a substitute for medical care. If you are injured, for example with pain or swelling (oedema) after a fall or a knock in a game, see your doctor or physiotherapist first.

How to use FlexPulse Devices

Our devices are built with an athlete’s body and metabolic work-up in mind. We have curated devices which have just the right frequency and wavelength form to cater to you. We encourage you to first check with your physician on your eligibility if you have any co-morbid conditions.

An otherwise healthy athlete can easily fit the FlexPulse devices into a training routine. Be sure to follow the instructions on your device to the letter.
