Many UK PEMF clinics offer rental of clinical-grade equipment for home use. Typical pricing: £100–£300 per month for a 1–3 month trial. Rental usually includes setup support, programme guidance, and (often) credit against future purchase if you decide to buy. This is by far the smartest way to try a £5,000+ PEMF system before committing — you find out whether it suits your condition, your routine, and your expectations without the full cost.
