Magnetotherapy in Glasgow
Magnetotherapy, also known as PEMF or PMRA therapy, uses pulsed electromagnetic fields as a supportive treatment for pain, stiffness and recovery. At The Hub Glasgow, it sits inside a clinical plan rather than being treated as a miracle cure.
Supportive therapy, not a miracle cure.
Magnetotherapy may help with pain, stiffness and recovery, but it works best when it is matched to the right problem. If your symptoms are persistent, worsening or unclear, start with a clinic assessment so we can find the cause first.

Questions people often ask
Is magnetotherapy the same as PEMF therapy?
They are closely related terms. PEMF stands for pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, while PMRA is a form of pulsed magnetic resonance therapy used in clinical recovery settings.
Is magnetotherapy a stand-alone cure?
No. At The Hub Glasgow, it is used as supportive therapy where appropriate, usually alongside assessment, rehabilitation and clear advice.
