The effect of electro-magnetic-energy-regulation therapy on subjective sleep among elite players in Norwegian women’s football

Authors: Moen, Frode, Svein Arne Pettersen, and Ellen F. Mosleth. 2024

PMID: 39149571 DOI: 10.3389/fspor.2024.1343841

Published: 2024 – Link: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39149571/

BEMER therapy improved the quality and duration of sleep in Norwegian elite footballers, especially on and after match nights. Before the therapy, post-match sleep was poor, which also affected recovery. After BEMER therapy, sleep improved significantly, the players reported better recovery and were very appreciative of the overall benefits. Focuses on subjective sleep — how the players felt about their sleep (quality and duration), based on self-reported daily sleep diaries. It compares periods with and without BEMER therapy over 273 days.

This study looked at how well Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment and BEMER therapies help adults with neck pain. BEMER therapy worked better than Osteopathic Manipulative Treatment or no treatment, and people felt less pain and more able to do daily activities. Using both treatments together showed a synergistic effect, leading to even greater improvement.

The BEMER® vascular therapy, developed in 1998, uses a specific signal configuration to improve microcirculatory characteristics through physical stimulation. Research has shown significant improvements in vasomotion, capillary blood distribution, and oxygen utilization, leading to the refinement of the signal for optimal therapeutic effects.
