At Second Stride Veterinary Physiotherapy, we’re always looking for ways to support your pets’ healing and long-term well-being. We’re excited to share that we now offer High-Intensity PEMF Therapy alongside our other rehabilitation treatments.

What is PEMF Therapy?

PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy. It uses safe, controlled electromagnetic pulses to stimulate cells, improve circulation, and promote healing in both dogs and horses.

The benefits include:

• Increased oxygen delivery and nutrient absorption

• Reduction of inflammation and pain

• Faster recovery after injury or surgery

• Improved joint and muscle health

• Enhanced overall well-being and relaxation

High-Intensity vs Low-Intensity PEMF

There are two main types of PEMF therapy, and both can be beneficial depending on your pet’s needs.

High-Intensity PEMF (e.g., Megnawave)

• Provides deep tissue treatment

• Helps with arthritis, chronic pain, post-surgical recovery, and injuries

• Suitable for dogs, horses, and other animals needing focused rehabilitation

• Often shows results within 1–3 sessions

Now available at Second Stride!

Low-Intensity PEMF (e.g., BEMER)

• Provides gentle, surface-level stimulation

• Supports circulation and overall wellness

• Designed for daily, ongoing use

• Best for preventative care and general health maintenance

• Works gradually, with results seen over regular use

Key Differences at a Glance

Who Can Benefit?

PEMF therapy can help a wide range of patients, including:

• Senior pets with stiffness or arthritis

• Dogs recovering from orthopaedic surgery or injury

• Performance horses needing faster muscle recovery
