HEALTHY LIVING PULSE THERAPY $99 SPECIAL Four 45-Minute Sessions
Athletes, Fitness Fanatics or Weekend Warriors, Got pain?? Tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, frozen shoulder, knee pain, hip pain, soreness from a workout or competition?? We’ve got a solution to improve your performance, reduce pain, inflammation and speed your recovery time!
Why PULSE therapy? PEMF therapy is used by athletes to maximize performance and at the same time reduce the risk of sports injury. Pulsed electromagnetic fields increase the uptake of oxygen into muscle. An increase in oxygen can significantly enhance muscle performance and stamina. The body’s muscles are able to perform harder, longer and recover faster with PEMF Therapy. After a workout, muscles become sore and sometimes tensed. A wellknown effect of PEMF therapy is to reduce muscle tension and soreness/pain.
Feel better, perform better, and stay healthy naturally!
The Pulse technology is amazing and produces quick results on both chronic and temporary injuries. I first turned to Pulse when a combination of physical therapy, dry needling and cortisone shots were unsuccessful in reducing the pain in my shoulder’s rotator cuff. I had been working on the issue for several months yet after one Pulse session, there was a dramatic reduction in pain. I started using the machine 3-4 times per week and became pain free in a couple of weeks. The greatest part is playing tennis pain free for the first time in nearly a year! Pulse can also be used to stimulate cell growth from other types of injuries as well. During the time I was using Pulse for my shoulder, I gashed my leg badly and
it was unable to be stitched. Pulse sped the healing of my leg wound by a considerable amount and after a couple of weeks, the wound is nearly closed up. I’m a true proponent of this technology after seeing such rapid results with two different injuries! I highly recommend this to anyone with chronic pain or even an acute injury who need real relief! - JEAN LANDMESSER
