My reason for trying the BEMER Pro Set — BEMER stands for bio-electro-magnetic energy regulation — was to see if I could reduce my spasticity, improve my mobility, and increase my energy level. <h2>What Is the BEMER Pro Set </h2> The BEMER Pro Set is a device that delivers pulsed electromagnetic energy to the body generally or to specific body areas. Such devices, of which there are several on the market, are known as pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) devices.

These devices typically cost thousands of dollars, and the BEMER Pro Set, with its many modules and parts, has a price tag around $5,990. The promotional materials for the BEMER say that the device increases microcirculation, or blood circulation to the small blood vessels. They go on to say that this increased microcirculation is beneficial to a person’s immune system, overall health, and sense of well-being.

It should be noted that high-quality clinical trials conducted by scientists not connected to the company that makes BEMER are not easy to find. Those studies that have been done are small and do not provide scientific evidence of therapeutic benefits.

The BEMER Pro Set has several different parts, including the B Box, which is the main control unit, the B Body, which is a mat that you lie on, and various other components that serve to focus the electromagnetic energy on specific body parts. <h2>Here s What Happened When I Tried It</h2> I was introduced to the BEMER Pro Set by a friend whose wife had used the device on her horses. She swore that it helped to calm her animals and give them more energy.

The BEMER was explained to me, the B Body (the mat) was laid out on my couch, and I was taught how to use the B Box to control the settings of the mat. I was left alone in the room as the B Box was set for eight minutes, the lowest time setting. What I felt was comfortable pulsating all the way up my legs and back.

The feeling helped me relax. On the B Box is a symbol for “plus,” which makes the pulsating more powerful. As I familiarized myself with the device over the next two weeks, I used that symbol a few times to increase the intensity of the pulsating.

Then, one day I was sitting at my desk for about an hour working on my computer, expecting the usual spasticity and stiff legs to plague me. When I got up, my legs were not stiff in the usual way and did not cramp! This change happened after at least three days of using the BEMER.

I had hoped the reduction in spasticity would carry through to the next day, but although the tightness was less, things were not as dramatic as the day before. A little bit of the spasticity had returned. I wasn’t sure how to explain this to myself or to anyone else.

Along with all these pieces came many wires — too many wires — that tended to get all tangled up.I have mobility issues, and if I used the B Light, I had to deal with plugging it into the B Box, and then strapping it onto my body. At times the wire and strap were too much to manage and ended up in a messy pile.Lastly, this unit is too expensive for what it is, and it is not covered by insurance.

It is “FDA registered,” which is not the same as “FDA approved.” As the fine print on the BEMER website states, “These statements have not been evaluated by the [U.S.] Food and Drug Administration or Health Canada. This device is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease.” <h2>The Bottom Line</h2> If the B Body mat had been more consistent with helping to reduce my spasticity, I might have considered buying just that part.
