A mat’s coil count doesn’t tell you what actually reaches your body
You're shopping for a full-body PEMF mat, and the spec that jumps out is the coil count. More coils sound like more field. But a count is a headline, and it leaves out two things that shape what your body actually gets: whether the coils fire all at once or one at a time, and how evenly the field is spread across the surface. Two PEMF mats holding the same six coils. On the left, all six coils fire together. On the right, the coils are numbered one through six and fire one at a time, with only coil one…
Six questions take the guesswork out of your next PEMF purchase.
If you're about to spend a few thousand dollars on a PEMF device and the spec sheets all start to blur together, you don't need to become an expert in electromagnetics. You need six questions, and the discipline to ask all of them. Each question targets a value the brochure either left off or rounded into uselessness. Asked together, they replace marketing copy with a measured picture of what the device actually does. Question 1. Where was the peak measured? The reading depends on two things: how far the probe sits from the accessory surface, and where on the surface…

If you've ever stood in front of two PEMF devices, compared their published values, and felt like you couldn't tell which one was better, you're not the problem. The values are the problem. You might be a chiropractor pricing a clinic system, an equine therapist comparing high-intensity machines, or a buyer for a wellness practice. What you need is a measured field map across the whole accessory surface, at every setting on the dial, on the unit you'll be paying for. Almost no spec sheet carries that. Product pages have the room, but the information just isn't included. Most companies…
