Electro Magnetic Field Therapy
Electromagnetic Field Therapy (EMFT) in Clinical RehabilitationAlso known as: Extracorporeal Magnetic Transduction Therapy (EMTT), Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMFT), and High-Intensity Tesla Stimulation (HITS)
I was first introduced to Electromagnetic Field Therapy (EMFT) when a patient returned from France, where she had received EMFT treatments to help manage her Ehlers–Danlos symptoms.
Her improvements were remarkable, and her case inspired me to explore this technology in greater depth.
Through extensive research, clinical trials, and hands-on application, I discovered that EMFT offers far more than symptom relief—it provides a powerful tool for restoring neuromuscular balance, motor control, and deep core activation.
Over time, I integrated EMFT into my own therapeutic model, where it consistently enhanced patient outcomes and complemented proprioceptive facilitation techniques.
Having witnessed its impact firsthand, I am now committed to introducing this transformative modality to therapists everywhere—so that more clinicians can utilize EMFT to optimize movement, reduce pain, and accelerate recovery for their patients.
We utilize EMFT-assisted multifidus activation followed by CoreBoard-based functional progression. Electromagnetic Field Therapy (EMFT) is a powerful tool to restore neuromuscular balance and optimize deep core strength.
This technology has more than 30 years of clinical research behind it and works by using controlled magnetic fields to influence targeted tissues at both the cellular and neurophysiological levels.
We have found that precisely adjusting frequency and intensity, EMFT allows for deep tissue penetration with very little discomfort.
When applied properly, it enhances cellular regeneration, improves circulation, modulates pain, and most importantly for my practice, improves motor control and strength of the deep core stabilizers.
Clinical Mechanisms: Here’s what’s happening physiologically when we use EMFT:
- Unlike other forms of muscle stimulation, EMFT provides Neuromuscular Modulation: influencing spinal and peripheral pathways, improving motor coordination and timing of recruitment in stabilizing muscle groups.
Integration with CoreBoard Pro™ and Proprioceptive Facilitation
.
When EMFT is integrated with Proprioceptive Facilitation and the Total Spinal Fitness CoreBoard Pro™, it becomes a game-changer for restoring motor control and core stability.
The electromagnetic input helps reset and normalize mechanoreceptor activity, which improves CNS integration and motor output.
By combining this with sequential proprioceptive training, we can retrain the CNS to stabilize and activate the deep core system with precision.
This approach provides a neurogenic, evidence-informed, and non-invasive solution for improving strength, mobility, and long-term spinal health—especially in complex lumbar and shoulder dysfunctions.
Together, EMFT and Proprioceptive Facilitation represent a modern model for rebooting, rebuilding, and restoring proper muscle pattern organization—helping the body achieve true, functional stability from the inside out.
I have successfully incorporated EMFT for a wide range of other conditions, including:
- Chronic and acute low back pain
- Sports and overuse injuries
- Osteoarthritis and joint dysfunction
- Myofascial and fascial restriction syndromes
- Post-surgical rehabilitation
- Peripheral neuropathic pain

Combining magnetic stimulation with multifidus motor training improved motor planning, lumbopelvic control, and reduced pain and disability.
In short, Magnetic Field Therapy doesn’t just activate muscles — it reactivates neurological learning. It’s a true neurotherapeutic tool, enhancing coordination, recovery, and functional outcomes at the source: the central nervous system.”
