Ranch Rehab’s no-nonsense guide to what it is, how it works, and why BEMER might be the right choice for your barn
💡 What is PEMF?
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy. It’s a non-invasive treatment that uses low-frequency electromagnetic waves to stimulate the body at the cellular level. The goal? To support better blood flow, reduce discomfort, speed up recovery, and improve overall wellness and performance — especially in hardworking horses.
Think of it as a battery recharge for your horse’s cells. When cells are functioning optimally, they can do their jobs better — whether that’s repairing tissues, flushing out waste, or delivering nutrients where they’re needed.
🧠 How Does the BEMER Blanket Work?
The BEMER Horse-Set is a PEMF device specifically designed for equine athletes. It includes a lightweight blanket and two cuffs for targeted treatments (like legs or hocks).
What makes BEMER different is its proprietary signal, which is designed to optimize microcirculation — the blood flow through the smallest vessels (capillaries) where oxygen and nutrients are exchanged. That’s where recovery and repair actually happen, and that’s what makes BEMER unique.
Here’s what happens when you run a BEMER session:
- The blanket emits a gentle pulsed signal across your horse’s body.
- That signal stimulates circulation in the microvasculature (aka the 74% of blood vessels that traditional therapies often miss).
- This helps blood, oxygen, and nutrients flow more freely — and helps waste products move out faster.
- The entire body is better supported in recovery, performance, and general function.
Sessions are easy and quick — just 5 to 15 minutes, with no sedation, no sweat, no stress. Most horses relax right into it.
🆚 BEMER vs. Other PEMF Devices (like MagnaWave)
There are a few big names in the PEMF world — and each has its own approach. Here’s how BEMER stacks up:
| Feature | BEMER | MagnaWave / High-Intensity PEMF |
| Frequency Range | Low frequency (~30 Hz) | High-intensity, variable (up to 30,000+ Gauss) |
| Mechanism of Action | Targets microcirculation | Stimulates cellular response with higher energy |
| Experience | Gentle, relaxing | Can cause muscle twitches or visible contractions |
| Duration | Short sessions (5–15 min) | 20–45 minutes, often supervised |
| FDA Class | Registered as Class I device | Class II/III depending on brand |
| Best For | Daily maintenance, recovery, warm-ups | More acute or intense rehab cases |
Bottom line?
- BEMER is like brushing and blanketing your horse — part of a smart, daily wellness routine.
- MagnaWave is more like a chiropractic or deep tissue session — still great, but different intensity and use case.
You can use both — but BEMER is often chosen for its ease, safety, and ability to be used unsupervised or daily by horse owners themselves.
🐴 Why Choose BEMER for Your Horse?
If you’re looking for a simple, vet-approved, easy-to-use wellness tool that keeps your horse feeling their best… BEMER might be exactly what your program is missing.
Here are some of the top benefits owners, trainers, and riders report:
✅ Better circulation = better oxygen and nutrient delivery
✅ Faster recovery after training, hauling, or competition
✅ Increased relaxation and stress reduction
✅ Support for joint health and mobility
✅ Boosted immune function
✅ Fewer post-performance aches and discomforts

Whether your horse is hauling to jackpots every weekend, coming back from a layoff, or just working hard for you day in and day out — the BEMER system helps them stay sound, sharp, and comfortable.
