PEMF stands for pulsed electromagnetic field therapy. A MagnaWave coil sends short pulses through the skin and into deeper tissues. PEMF is used to support circulation, muscle relaxation and recovery. Blood flow brings oxygen to the tissues, and cells use that oxygen to make ATP, the energy they need to function and repair tissue.

No. I work with sport horses, leisure horses, older horses and horses with specific recovery needs. A competition horse may need support after travel and demanding work; an older or retired horse may benefit from a comfort-focused session. The approach is adjusted to the horse.

You do not have to wait for an injury to take recovery seriously. Workload, travel, age and daily movement all create different demands. A regular PEMF session can be part of a thoughtful wellness routine, alongside appropriate training, turnout, nutrition and veterinary care.

Yes. PEMF is used to help release muscle tension and ease stiffness. The pulsed magnetic field passes through the skin and reaches deeper tissues, including muscle, without pressure on the area. It can help a horse that feels tight through the back or neck, takes time to loosen up, or moves stiffly after a hard training day.

Yes. PEMF can support comfort during tendon and ligament rehab. Tendons and ligaments generally have fewer blood vessels than muscle. Local circulation helps bring oxygen and nutrients to the injured tissue as it repairs.

A typical full-body session takes around 30–45 minutes. Targeted sessions may be shorter, depending on the area and the horse. I do not rush through a fixed sequence if the horse needs a different approach.

PEMF does not involve needles, injections or the pressure used in manual therapy. Horses may react to the pulsing sensation, settle, yawn or remain alert. I adjust the settings to the individual horse and stop if the horse is uncomfortable.

For a healthy horse receiving routine maintenance, riding afterwards is usually possible. If the horse has an injury or is following a rehabilitation plan, follow your veterinarian’s exercise instructions first. We can also plan the session around your training or competition day.

Owners sometimes report a more relaxed horse, better comfort or a different feel under saddle. Others notice subtle changes or need more than one session.

For general wellness and maintenance, monthly sessions or every 4–6 weeks are a practical starting point. Horses with greater workload, recurring tension or a specific programme may benefit from fortnightly support. Injury rehabilitation can call for more frequent targeted sessions, coordinated with your vet. Frequency is adjusted as we learn more about the horse.

For most first visits I prefer to see the horse as a whole. A specific injury or problem can create compensations elsewhere. Once I understand the situation, we may use a full-body session with extra targeted attention or arrange shorter targeted visits between maintenance sessions.

A single full-body session is €90; regular sessions are €80; a Yard Day session is €75 per horse. Targeted-only sessions start at €50. Travel charges and group arrangements depend on location and booking details. Please check the pricing page for the current offer.

I am based near Liège, Belgium, and visit yards across Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany, with appointments in Lithuania when scheduled. I can come to a private stable, professional yard or competition venue when permitted. Contact me with your location and number of horses.

FEI rules list low-frequency PEMF as a non-restricted supportive therapy only when the electromagnetic field is below 0.1 Tesla (1,000 Gauss). This does not automatically approve every setting or every high-output device. Equipment and on-site use must meet the current FEI Veterinary Regulations and event officials’ requirements. I confirm suitability before arranging treatment at a show.
