PMRA / PEMF therapy

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.

What it can feel like

People often search for PMRA therapy when they have ongoing joint pain, tendon irritation, osteoarthritis symptoms, stiffness or a recovery problem that has not settled as expected.

Common causes

  • Persistent pain sensitivity
  • Reduced tissue recovery
  • Joint stiffness
  • Recurrent flare-ups
  • Need for adjunctive therapy alongside rehabilitation

How we assess it

We check whether PMRA therapy makes sense for your presentation and whether you need podiatry, physiotherapy, diagnostic ultrasound, exercise rehabilitation or another route first.

Treatment options

  • PMRA suitability screening
  • Treatment planning
  • Adjunctive recovery support
  • Rehab and movement advice
  • Review of response

Questions people often ask

What does PMRA therapy mean?

PMRA is commonly used to describe pulsed magnetic resonance therapy, a non-invasive therapy using pulsed electromagnetic fields.

Will I need an assessment first?

Yes if symptoms are painful, persistent, worsening or unclear. The therapy should match the reason you are struggling.

Can PMRA therapy be combined with rehab?

Yes. That is usually the most sensible way to use it, because recovery often needs both symptom support and better load capacity.
