Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy · HCMC
Unwindafter a long day.
Magnetic pulses you feel as a rhythmic tapping. People use it after training and for sore, stiff muscles, and it may support blood flow.
The basics
What is PEMF?
PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) therapy uses strong, low-frequency magnetic pulses that pass through clothing and skin to the muscles underneath.
You feel it as a rhythmic tapping, and the muscles under the loop may twitch or contract with each pulse.
We set the strength and time for each area, and you can ask us to change the intensity at any time.
Why people come
PEMF benefits
People come to PEMF for prevention, recovery and longevity. Here's what they use it for, and how it may help with your goal.
After trainingHow
Many people book PEMF on the muscles they've trained hard, as part of their recovery routine.
The areas you chooseHow
Your back, shoulders, hips or knees: tell us where, and we focus the session there.
Unwind after a long dayHow
Many people find the rhythmic tapping relaxing and use it to switch off after work.
Pair it with red lightHow
Book PEMF with red light, or all three therapies in the Recovery Reset.
Prevention and longevityHow
Some people make regular sessions part of a long-term routine, alongside good sleep, food and movement.
The pulses
How does it work?
PEMF sends strong, brief magnetic pulses through a loop or a mattress. Here's what happens.
Through clothing and skin
The magnetic field passes through clothing and skin to the muscles underneath.
Muscles contract and relax
Each pulse makes the muscles under the loop contract, then relax, which you feel as a rhythmic tapping.
Set by area
We choose the loop and the strength for each area: the butterfly loop for smaller joints, the large loop for hips and shoulders, the mattress for your whole back.
You stay in control
Tell us if you want it stronger or gentler. You can stop at any time.

Your visit
What happens during a session?
Step 1
A brief consult
We start with a brief consult to find the areas you want to focus on.Step 2
We choose the attachment
- Small joints (knees, elbows, hands)We use the double butterfly loop for precise, targeted pulsing.
- Large joints (hips, shoulders)We use the large loop to surround the whole joint.
- Full body or broad areas (back, abdomen, pelvis)You lie on the PEMF mattress, for a whole-body session when there's no single area to focus on.
Step 3
Your 25-minute session
We typically cover two localised areas within a single 25-minute window.
Safety first
Who it's for, and who it's not
PEMF is well tolerated by most people, but implanted electronic devices and a few health conditions make it unsuitable, and it's never used over metal in your body. Check the lists below before booking, and tell our team about anything relevant. Not sure it suits you? Ask us before booking.
A good fit forWho usually enjoys PEMF
- Sore or stiff muscles and joints after training.
- Recovery for active lifestyles.
- Anyone wanting a deep, non-invasive session.
- Unwinding after a long day.
Do not use if6 things that rule it out
- You have a pacemaker, defibrillator (ICD), cochlear implant, neurostimulator, insulin pump or another implanted electronic device.
- You are pregnant.
- You have cancer that is active, progressing or suspected, or you're having cancer treatment such as chemotherapy.
- You have a blood clotting disorder, or any acute bleeding.
- You have epilepsy or a history of seizures.
- You have broken skin, an open wound, a rash or acute inflammation on the area you want treated.
Ask your doctor firstMedical clearance may be recommended before you start
- You have metal implants, plates, screws, a joint replacement or other metal in your body. Show our team exactly where: PEMF is never used over that area, so we may use a loop on another area instead of the mat.
- You take blood-thinning medication. Tell our team before your session.
- You have had surgery on or near the area in the last 6 weeks.
- You have another serious or uncontrolled medical condition.

Got questions
Frequently asked questions
Is the therapy painful?
No, the session is not painful. While the magnetic pulses are strong enough to cause muscle contractions, the sensation is typically described as a rhythmic tapping or deep vibration. You can ask our team to adjust the intensity to your comfort level.
Do I need to take my clothes off for the session?
No. The magnetic field passes through clothing, so you stay fully dressed for the session.
Are there any side effects?
Most people feel fine immediately after. However, because the device activates muscles that may not have been used recently, you might experience mild muscle fatigue or "good soreness", similar to what you feel after a light workout.
Can I keep my phone or watch on me?
No. Because the device uses strong magnetic fields, you must remove all electronic devices, watches, and credit cards before the session begins, to prevent damage to them or interference with the session.
Where are you based?
We're at 90A Tân Sơn Hòa in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, by appointment.
