Bemer is a Swiss low-intensity PEMF system marketed for daily wellness use, primarily through MLM distribution. Field strength is in the microtesla range — gentler than clinical systems like Pulse or Curatron. The proprietary signal is sinusoidal with a specific waveform pattern. Bemer is well-built and well-supported, but the pricing is steep relative to field strength. Best suited to daily wellness users who want a polished, reliable system. Less suited to clinical / equine / serious recovery use — which is what high-intensity systems are for.

Contraindications
Hard exclusions — do not have PEMF if any apply:

- Cochlear implant or other implanted electronic hearing device

Discuss with your GP or specialist before booking if any apply:
- Active malignancy or recent cancer history (oncologist clearance required)
- History of seizures or epilepsy
- Multiple sclerosis or other neurological condition under specialist care
- Anticoagulant therapy (PEMF itself does not thin blood, but bruising risk if local circulation is already compromised)
- Children under 14 (most UK clinics will not treat under-18s without paediatric specialist input)
- Recent surgery within the last 14 days at the treatment site (confirm with surgeon)
NOT contraindications — these are commonly misunderstood:
- Plates, rods, screws and other passive metal orthopaedic hardware
- Dental implants and dental crowns
- Joint replacements (hip, knee, shoulder)
- IUDs (copper or hormonal)
- Tattoos and piercings (jewellery should be removed for the session)
Specific to this condition: pacemakers, defibrillators, cochlear implants, insulin pumps, electronic implants; active malignancy without specialist clearance; pregnancy (over the abdomen); active infection; epilepsy without GP clearance.
Frequently asked questions
Is Bemer worth the money?
For wellness use, it's well-built and supported. But you can get equivalent low-intensity PEMF at half the price (e.g. OMI). The MLM model adds margin to retail price.
Is Bemer clinical-grade?
No — it's wellness-grade. Field strength is too low for clinical / bone / equine applications. Don't expect Pulse-level results.
Does Bemer work?
For circulation and general wellness — yes, real users report benefits. For specific clinical conditions, lower-priced clinical systems often produce better results.
Should I avoid the MLM?
MLM means higher consumer pricing and pressure to recruit. If you like the product, buy it. Just understand the pricing structure.
