🌈🐴 Sometimes helping older horses means saying goodbye. Bella LOVED her PEMF, and through it we bonded. She was the sweetest, and beloved 🧡🐴 of a woman who also became my friend. Because Bella loved her sessions, we did a final one just before she was laid to rest. It was my honor.

PEMF and the critical Equine Thoracic Sling

The Thoracic Sling refers to the group of muscles—primarily the serratus ventralis, pectorals, and parts of the trapezius and rhomboideus—that connect the forelimbs to the trunk, suspending the horse's body between its front legs. This region plays a key role in posture, movement, and weight-bearing, and it’s often subject to strain or injury, especially in performance horses. Here’s how PEMF can help:

1. **Improved Circulation and Oxygenation**: PEMF uses electromagnetic pulses to stimulate cellular activity. In the thoracic sling, this can enhance blood flow to the muscles and surrounding tissues. Better circulation delivers more oxygen and nutrients, which supports muscle health and aids in recovery from fatigue or microtrauma caused by repetitive motion or heavy workloads.

2. **Reduced Inflammation**: The thoracic sling can become inflamed due to overexertion, poor posture, or compensation for other injuries. PEMF has been shown to help reduce inflammation by influencing cellular processes, such as improving the efficiency of ion exchange across cell membranes. This can alleviate swelling and discomfort in the muscles and fascia of the thoracic sling.

3. **Enhanced Muscle Recovery and Relaxation**: The pulsing action of PEMF acts like a cellular "massage," engaging and then relaxing the muscle cells. For the thoracic sling, this can relieve tension in the serratus ventralis and pectoral muscles, which often tighten under stress or prolonged effort. Relaxed muscles are less prone to strain and can recover more effectively after exercise.

4. **Support for Tissue Repair**: If the thoracic sling experiences minor tears, strain, or connective tissue damage—common in horses with heavy front-end work like jumping or pulling—PEMF can promote healing. It does this by stimulating cellular repair processes, potentially increasing collagen synthesis and supporting the regeneration of damaged tissues.

5. **Pain Relief**: Horses with thoracic sling issues may exhibit stiffness, reluctance to move, or uneven gait due to discomfort. PEMF can help reduce pain by influencing nerve signaling and decreasing inflammation, allowing the horse to move more freely and engage the thoracic sling properly during locomotion.

6. **Strengthened Functional Support**: By optimizing cellular function in the thoracic sling muscles, PEMF may improve their strength and endurance over time. This is particularly valuable for maintaining proper posture and forelimb suspension, which are essential for balance and athletic performance.

Horses typically find the therapy relaxing, which further supports muscle release and recovery in this region.

For a horse with a specific thoracic sling issue, PEMF could be part of a broader rehabilitation plan, complementing rest, stretching, or bodywork. Its non-invasive nature makes it a practical option for supporting this vital yet often overlooked part of equine anatomy.

My new double PEMF box gets both feet at once. GREAT for
- abscess, laminitis, navicular
- arthritis, bruises, thrush
- sole depth
- ligaments/tendons
- increasing blood flow, and promoting overall hoof health!!

⚡️🐴⚡️Not your ordinary PEMF practitioner.
While PEMF is great for general well-being, my most rewarding successes have been supporting the health of horses with complex issues from EPM, surgical recovery, laminitis, mystery lameness, injuries, arthritic joints, kissing spine and poor feet.
My approach is tailored to the needs of each horse. I often work up plans with vets and in conjunction with chiropractors and massage therapists. I provide detailed charts of sessions.
I bring 50 years of horsemanship to my PEMF practice - and take a limited number of clients at a time.

🤩 STUDY INDICATES: PEMF INCREASES SOLE DEPTH!
The Journal of Equine Rehabilitation & ScienceDirect.com, recently published an in-depth study of the effectiveness of PEMF on the sole of the hoof. The results are exciting!

The study reported a positive impact on sole depth of the proximal processes of P3 of up to 2.4mm 🤩

PEMF for elderly dog

My 16-1/2 year old Aussie’s hips (and I think low back) were really bothering him yesterday. Did this configuration on a VERY low setting for an hour last night.
The intent was to oxygenate and reduce inflammation in his entire body and provide targeted EM field to his hips and back.
This morning he was MUCH better. Doing another session now while he naps.

God bless PEMF

Bodie is my 16 year old Aussie ❤️ I would do PEMF on him occasionally, but he didn’t want to be still long enough to do much.
Lately he was getting super stiff, having a hard time getting up off the tile floor, unable to “sit” (only stand and lay down), having p*e accidents when he couldn’t get out the doggie door in time. His nose was getting extremely dry. His energy was way down and he slept all the time. I knew I had to find a way to give him longer PEMF sessions, consistently.
To get him to be still, started giving him his favorite turkey chew in his bed. By the end of the chewy, he’d get very relaxed and enjoy the session. At first it was only 10 minutes. We are up to 20-30 minutes … daily (for the last week).
NOW he is so into it he will actually go put his feet on the machine to ask for a session!
Bodie is MOVING better, GETS UP more easily, actually SITS on occasion. His p*e accidents almost completely ended, and his nose is getting moist! He has so much more ENERGY and wants to PLAY like a puppy every evening.
My heart is soaring ❤️🥰❤️

Kitties love PEMF too! It’s not unusual for animals to be attracted to the pulse. This kitty kept laying on the applicator .. so gave River her own session. She melted 🥰

2020 Study on NIH National Library of Medicine explains science behind and success of PEMF on healing bone, cartilage, joint inflammation!

EXCERPT: The US FDA has approved pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) as a safe and effective treatment for nonunions of bone. … Recently, cell membrane receptors have been identified as the site of action of PEMF and provide a mechanistic rationale for clinical use. … Through these actions, PEMF can increase the structural integrity of bone and cartilage ECM, enhancing repair, and alter the homeostatic balance of signaling cytokines, producing anti-inflammatory effects. PEMFs exert a proanabolic effect on the bone and cartilage matrix and a chondroprotective effect counteracting the catabolic effects of inflammation in the joint environment.

The US FDA has approved pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMFs) as a safe and effective treatment for nonunions of bone. Despite its clinical use, the mechanisms of action of electromagnetic stimulation of the skeleton have been elusive. Recently, cell ...

GRAPHIC - Does PEMF help heal wounds? YES! These photos are at the time of injury … and 27 days later after regular use of PEMF.
Studies indicate up to 50% reduction in healing time. And, PEMF provides major benefit with re- Epithelialization (process of covering denuded epithelial surface). The cellular and molecular processes involved in initiation, maintenance, and completion of epithelialization are essential for successful wound closure.
In human medicine, PEMF is even used to treat difficult diabetic wounds.
