iMRS Prime PEMF -Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy


PEMF is a great therapy to add to your wellness journey and compliments a Holistic approach to improving health. It is safe and natural with no side effects because it works with and enhances the bodies own energy field and ability to self-heal.


Every body has a frequency and when your bodies frequency lowers, this prevents the body from being able to self-heal and regenerate as it naturally does. When this happens, illness, pain or disease can set in. Many things can lower the frequency within your body; -prolonged stress, trauma, environmental toxins, poor diet and lifestyle choices.


The iMRS PEMF comes in the form of a full-size body mat that you lay on with additional pads for using on specific body parts. The iMRS PEMF uses pulsed frequency that works at a fundamental cellular level restoring balance and supporting the cells natural healing processes. It is popular for reducing pain, especially arthritic or joint pain. As this frequency works on ALL cells within the body-it can be applied globally to assist your body with numerous conditions. The majority of people who use PEMF regularly report better sleep, feeling much more relaxed and reduced pain.


Optional inclusions in the iMRS PEMF therapy is FIR (infrared heat therapy) and Exagon brain entrainment. FIR is good for deep muscle relaxation, relieving joint or muscle pain and improving local blood circulation. The brain entrainment is applied through the use of binaural beats (Sound) and Light therapy (Goggles), which are able to entrain meditative brainwave states. Creating a meditative state can enhance the bodies ability to heal itself as the thinking mind is quieted so the subconscious mind, responsible for all your bodily functions can activate your parasympathetic nervous system for rest and repair.



For optimal results, it is better to use the iMRS PEMF mat in several shorter sessions spread over the week for a number of weeks instead of one long session per week. The cost of PEMF sessions is set at $1 per minute for a minimum of 60 minutes per week. This allows flexibility in determining the right number of sessions that will suit your schedule. For example, you could choose 6 x 10-minute sessions or 3 x 20-minute sessions, or 2 x 30-minute sessions spread over the week. There are also packages of 10 & 20 sessions at a discounted price of $190 and $360 respectively. This makes using this therapy affordable, sustainable and effective.


Please call or text Sharon on 0476446733 to book your sessions.


Additionally, many people also like to simply give the PEMF mat a trial run before purchasing one for themselves. (Note: The cost of a PEMF system may be covered under the NDIS scheme if eligible.)

However, be warned if you are thinking of purchasing a PEMF mat as there are many inferior mats on the market that do not actually work. The iMRS PRIME PEMF mat, engineered in Switzerland, has been scientifically tested and approved and holds the highest international standard for PEMF therapy.

It starts with physics, not magic

 

The foundation is a 19th-century idea called Faraday's law of induction: a changing magnetic field creates a small electric field in anything nearby that can carry a current — and your tissues, being full of salty fluid and charged particles, qualify. The key word is changing. A steady magnet does very little here. It's the pulsing — the field switching on and off — that does the work, which is precisely what separates PEMF from a simple static magnet. It's the same physics that is used in a generator to power your home or in a pad charger to charge your mobile phone.

So, with each pulse, cells in the field experience a brief electrical boost. What happens next is a cascade, and the beautiful part is that it unfolds on a stopwatch — different things happen at different timescales.


Milliseconds: the cell membrane wakes up


The outer membrane of a cell is studded with minute gates called ion channels. Some of these are "voltage-dependent," meaning they open in response to an electrical change. When the pulse arrives, it causes a brief shift in the membrane's charge, and among the gates that flick open are the ones that let calcium in.

Calcium isn't just a bone mineral — inside a cell it's one of biology's most important messengers. The moment it enters, it binds to a partner protein called calmodulin, and that pairing is the trigger that sets the rest of the chain in motion. All of this happens within milliseconds of a single pulse

 

Seconds: a chemical signal spreads

 

The calcium–calmodulin pair switches on an enzyme that releases nitric oxide — a small, short-lived molecule that acts almost like a hormone, drifting through the cell and passing the message along. Nitric oxide in turn nudges the production of another messenger with an intimidating name, cyclic GMP (cGMP).

If you're following along, notice what's happened: a PEMF pulse has been translated into a chemical conversation. The field itself is long gone, but the cell is now talking to itself in its own language.


Hours to days: the cell reads and responds


This is where it gets interesting. cGMP and the signals around it eventually reach the cell's control room — the nucleus — where genes are switched on and off. Researchers describe this as transcriptional activation: the cell begins producing proteins and receptors, essentially adjusting its own behaviour in response to everything that started with that first PEMF pulse. This slower phase plays out over hours, days or even weeks.

Therefore, a single electromagnetic pulse, lasting a fraction of a second, sets off a relay that runs from the outer membrane, through the cytoplasm, and all the way into the genetic machinery — each stage handing off to the next like runners passing a baton.

 

Why calcium and redox chemistry keep coming up

 

Two threads run through this whole story that are worth noting, because they show up again and again in cell biology far beyond PEMF: calcium signalling and the chemistry around molecules like nitric oxide (part of what's broadly called the cell's redox balance — the interplay of reactive molecules). These aren't PEMF-specific curiosities; they're among the most fundamental control systems a cell has. That's part of what makes the mechanism so interesting to researchers — it's tapping into and boosting the signalling pathways the body already relies on.
