PEMF Therapy for Horses: A Guide for Owners

PEMF sessions have become a common part of many barns' wellness routines. Here's what a session involves and where it fits alongside your vet's care.

Ask horse owners about their recovery routine and PEMF often comes up. Pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) sessions are a calm, non-invasive, drug-free wellness session that some owners add to their horse's routine, alongside the care their veterinarian provides.

What a PEMF Session Is

A PEMF device sends gentle pulsed magnetic fields through a coil or wand held near the horse. Nothing touches the skin in a way that hurts, there are no needles, and no sedation is used. Horses carry a lot of load through their backs and legs, and many owners like having a quiet session that fits around training and turnout. Research on PEMF in horses is limited, so we don't promise specific results. PEMF sessions are not a treatment for any condition.

When Owners Book a Session

• As part of a post-work or post-competition wind-down
• For a horse that seems tight or tense through the back
• For older horses whose owners want a gentle comfort routine
• Through a show season, as part of a regular wellness schedule

If your horse is lame, sore in a new way, or off their feed, call your veterinarian first. Your vet leads diagnosis and care; a PEMF session is a wellness add-on, not a substitute.

What a Session Looks Like

Sessions are quiet and unhurried. Many horses stand calmly, and some lick, chew, or lower their heads as they settle. Equine sessions are led by a certified MagnaWave PEMF practitioner experienced with performance horses. Learn more on our large animals page.
