PEMF (pulsed electromagnetic field) therapy at Pure Body Health means resting on a low-intensity magnetic-field mat for a short session to support relaxation, comfort and recovery, not a treatment for any specific disease. We use the original iMRS 2000 system, which the FDA regulates as a Class I therapeutic massager: a general wellness device that has not been FDA-reviewed to treat any condition, and we won't tell you otherwise.
Sessions run about 10 to 30 minutes, you stay fully clothed, and there are no needles and no downtime. PEMF is offered on its own or added to other care when it makes sense. It is not right for everyone, pacemakers, other implanted electronic devices, insulin pumps and pregnancy are among the reasons we screen every new patient first. Candidacy is determined by a provider.
▶Physician-reviewed
Offered under a physician's license
PEMF here sits under Dr. Scott Maymon, ND, MPH (AZ Naturopathic License #15-1497) and Dr. Sarah Stone, ND (AZ Naturopathic License #15-1496). The practical difference from buying time on a mat elsewhere is the screening and the honesty: every new patient completes an intake of conditions, surgeries and medications, and is checked for pacemakers, implanted electronic devices, infusion pumps, pregnancy and other reasons to avoid or modify treatment, before anything is switched on. Both physicians carry Arizona license numbers you can verify.
▶What it is
A gentle field, and a calm place to rest.
PEMF therapy applies a gentle, pulsing magnetic field to the body through a mat or a local applicator while you rest. It is non-invasive, you stay fully clothed, and most people find the session itself quiet and relaxing. Nothing is injected, there are no needles, and there is no downtime afterward.
Because it is low-intensity and easy to receive, people reach for PEMF as part of how they take care of themselves, time set aside to unwind, a sense of feeling more recovered after being active, general comfort, and support for restful sleep. Those everyday wellness goals are exactly what it is well suited to, and they are the reasons most people at Pure Body Health choose it.
We describe PEMF for what it is: a wellness therapy that many people find genuinely worthwhile, offered in plain language. It is not a treatment for a diagnosed condition, and knowing that takes nothing away from what people get out of it.
A quiet, low-intensity session people use to unwind, recover and rest. Simple, and for a lot of people a genuinely worthwhile part of the week.

▶The equipment we use
The original iMRS 2000.
We use the original iMRS 2000 system by Swiss Bionic Solutions, a low-frequency, low-intensity PEMF system the manufacturer describes, in its own words, as a wellness product. It has three parts: a padded full-body mat measuring roughly 67 by 23 inches, smaller local applicators for targeting a specific area, and a control unit with built-in biorhythm programming.
In practice, you lie on the mat or a local applicator is placed near the area being addressed, the session runs about 10 to 30 minutes, and the settings are individualized to your goals, duration and intensity are adjusted as needed rather than run at a single default. Naming the device matters: a lot of PEMF pages never tell you what machine you are actually lying on, or quietly imply it is a medical-grade clinical unit. This is a wellness system, and we say so.
▶The distinction that matters
Is PEMF FDA-approved? Not this kind.
Here is the honest regulatory picture, because it is widely misunderstood. "PEMF is FDA-approved" is true of one narrow, specific kind of PEMF device, a high-intensity clinical unit, and not of the low-intensity wellness mat used here. Knowing which is which is simply part of choosing it with clear eyes.
The iMRS 2000 is a Class I wellness device
The FDA regulates it as a therapeutic massager, a Class I category that is exempt from FDA premarket review. In plain terms: the FDA has never evaluated this device for treating any condition, and no such review stands behind it. That is not a scandal; it is simply what a wellness device is. It is the same reason we describe it as supporting comfort and relaxation rather than treating disease.
FDA-approved PEMF is a different machine
PEMF technology is genuinely FDA-approved in one area: high-intensity bone growth stimulators, used under medical supervision for narrow orthopedic problems such as non-healing fractures and spinal fusion. Those are Class III devices that went through the FDA's most rigorous approval pathway, and they operate at intensities far above a wellness mat.
Why the distinction matters
A low-intensity wellness system is a different device from a high-intensity clinical bone-growth stimulator, different intensity, different regulatory category, so the approval that applies to one does not apply to the other. We point this out simply so you know what you're getting: a genuine wellness therapy, described accurately, without borrowing a claim from a machine it isn't.
▶What it may support
What people use PEMF for.
PEMF is a wellness therapy, so the useful way to talk about it is in terms of how people actually use it and what it may support day to day, not disease treatment. Here is what brings most people in.
Relaxation and downtime
A session is quiet, still time with nothing asked of you; you rest on the mat for 10 to 30 minutes while the low-intensity field runs. Many people simply find it calming and use it to unwind and manage everyday stress, and that experience is one of the most common reasons they come back to it.
Recovery, comfort and rest
People also use PEMF to feel more recovered after being active, for general comfort including the temporary relief of minor muscle aches, and to support restful sleep. These are the kinds of general-wellness goals a low-intensity system is well suited to, and they are how we frame it, as support for how you feel, offered alongside the rest of your care when it fits. We talk about PEMF in terms of relaxation, recovery, comfort and rest, the things people genuinely use it for, and we're equally clear it's a wellness therapy, not a treatment for disease. PEMF is offered here as a low-risk general wellness therapy to support relaxation, comfort and recovery for appropriate candidates.

▶What to expect
Screened first, then a short session.
01
Intake and screening
01 · Intake and screening. Every new patient lists their conditions, surgeries and medications before anything is done. We screen specifically for pacemakers and other implanted electronic devices, active electronic infusion devices such as insulin pumps, pregnancy, seizure disorders and other reasons PEMF should be avoided or modified. This step is the whole point of getting it at a clinic rather than a mat you buy online.
02
Setting up the session
02 · Setting up the session. Depending on your goals, you either lie on the full-body mat or a local applicator is placed near a specific area. You stay fully clothed. Settings, session length and intensity, are chosen for you rather than run at a default, and can be adjusted as needed.
03
The session itself
03 · The session itself. Roughly 10 to 30 minutes of rest while the low-intensity field runs. Most people feel very little, often just relaxation. There are no needles, nothing is injected, and there is no downtime afterward. Tell us how you feel so settings can be tuned next time.
04
On its own, or alongside other care
04 · On its own, or alongside other care. PEMF is offered both as a standalone service and as an adjunct to other regenerative and wellness therapies when it is clinically appropriate. Your provider will suggest a reasonable cadence based on your goals and how you respond, not a large pre-paid package booked up front.
Where PEMF sits with the FDA
The iMRS 2000 we use is a Class I therapeutic massager, exempt from FDA premarket review, so it has not been evaluated for treating disease. PEMF is FDA-approved only in a separate category of high-intensity bone growth stimulators for narrow orthopedic uses, which does not describe a low-intensity wellness mat.
Good to know
What a session feels like, and who we screen first
Most people feel very little during a PEMF session. It is not painful, and the usual sensation is relaxation, sometimes a mild tingling. A few notice light-headedness or a short-lived shift as the body settles; tell your provider how you respond and the settings get tuned for you.
We screen at the first visit rather than after. PEMF is avoided with a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, an active infusion device such as an insulin pump, pregnancy, a seizure disorder such as epilepsy, active bleeding, and known sensitivity to electromagnetic fields.

▶Why Pure Body Health
A clinic that names the machine.
PEMF is sold in a lot of places now, most of which describe it the same overheated way. Here is what's different about getting it here:
We name the exact device.
The original iMRS 2000 by Swiss Bionic Solutions, a low-intensity wellness system, named plainly so you know exactly what you're resting on, instead of a vague "advanced technology." (Rather than: an unnamed "medical-grade" machine.)
Clear about what it's for.
We focus on what PEMF genuinely offers, relaxation, recovery, comfort and rest, and are equally clear it's a wellness therapy rather than a disease treatment. You know exactly what you're getting. (Rather than: "treats almost any condition.")
Standalone or adjunct, your cadence.
Use it on its own or alongside other care, at a cadence set by your goals and how you respond, not a large block sold up front. (Rather than: a pre-paid package of 20.)
Screened by a licensed physician.
Dr. Scott Maymon, ND, MPH and Dr. Sarah Stone, ND screen every new patient for pacemakers, implants, pumps, pregnancy and more before anything is switched on. (Rather than: time booked on a mat, no questions.)
Cost
Cost depends on whether PEMF is used on its own or added to another therapy, how long the session runs, and how often you use it, so the figure worth knowing is the cost of your plan, not a single number. It's available as a standalone session and as an adjunct to other regenerative and wellness care when it's clinically appropriate. You'll get clear pricing at your consultation before anything is scheduled.

Bring your questions. You will get an honest read on whether this is the right fit for you, what a plan looks like, and what it costs, with no obligation to book.
▶FAQ
PEMF therapy, answered.
What is PEMF therapy?
PEMF stands for pulsed electromagnetic field therapy. A device sends gentle, pulsing magnetic fields into the body while you rest on a mat or under a small applicator. At Pure Body Health it is offered as a low-intensity general wellness therapy, used to support relaxation, comfort and recovery, rather than as a treatment for any specific disease. Sessions are short, non-invasive, and you stay fully clothed.
Is PEMF therapy FDA-approved?
Not this kind. The iMRS 2000 we use is regulated by the FDA as a Class I therapeutic massager, which is exempt from FDA premarket review, meaning the FDA has not evaluated it for treating any condition. PEMF technology is genuinely FDA-approved in one narrow area: high-intensity bone growth stimulators used for specific orthopedic problems like non-healing fractures and spinal fusion. Those are different, much stronger devices, and their approval does not transfer to a low-intensity wellness mat. Any clinic implying blanket FDA approval for PEMF is overstating it.
What PEMF device do you use?
We use the original iMRS 2000 system by Swiss Bionic Solutions, a low-frequency, low-intensity PEMF system with a padded full-body mat measuring roughly 67 by 23 inches, smaller local applicators for targeted areas, and built-in biorhythm programming. The manufacturer describes it as a wellness system, and that is how we use it. Session length runs about 10 to 30 minutes and the settings are individualized to your goals.
Does PEMF therapy actually work?
Many people find low-intensity PEMF genuinely worthwhile, most use it to relax, to feel more recovered after being active, for general comfort, and to support restful sleep. Those are the wellness goals it is well suited to, and they are why people come back to it. What we won't do is tell you it treats a disease, because for a wellness device the evidence doesn't support that, so we'll be clear about what to reasonably expect while helping you get the most out of it.
What does a PEMF session feel like?
Most people feel very little. PEMF is not painful and there is usually no strong sensation, though some notice a mild tingling or a sense of relaxation. You lie on the mat fully clothed, or a local applicator is placed near the area, for roughly 10 to 30 minutes. There are no needles and no downtime, and you can return to your day immediately afterward.
What are the side effects of PEMF therapy?
Low-intensity PEMF is generally well tolerated, and most people have no side effects. Some report mild, temporary effects such as light-headedness, tingling, or a short-lived change in how they feel as the body relaxes, and a few conditions mean it is not the right fit, which is why we screen first. Tell your provider how you feel during and after a session so settings can be adjusted.
Who should not have PEMF therapy?
PEMF is not appropriate for everyone. It should be avoided by anyone with a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, an active electronic infusion device such as an insulin pump, and during pregnancy. A seizure disorder such as epilepsy, active bleeding or hemorrhage, and a known oversensitivity to electromagnetic fields also warrant avoiding or modifying treatment. Every new patient at Pure Body Health completes an intake of conditions, surgeries and medications, and we screen for these before any session so treatment can be avoided or adjusted where needed.
How much does PEMF therapy cost in South Tempe?
Cost depends on whether PEMF is used on its own or added to another therapy, session length, and how many sessions your plan involves, so the figure worth knowing is the cost of your plan rather than a single number. PEMF is available both as a standalone service and as an adjunct to other regenerative and wellness care when clinically appropriate. We go through pricing at your consultation before anything is scheduled.
How many PEMF sessions will I need?
There is no fixed number. Because PEMF here supports general wellness rather than treating a diagnosed condition, how often you use it is individualized, some people use it occasionally for relaxation and recovery, others more regularly alongside other care. Your provider will suggest a reasonable starting cadence and adjust based on how you respond, rather than selling you a large pre-paid package up front.
