Why Pro Athletes love PEMF Mats

PEMF Benefits in the Sporting World

Laying down has never been so productive. Besides actual sleep, the PEMF mat is a great way to recover without effort. And if you choose to nap on the mat, you’ll get the benefits of both! In fact, you may not be able to resist drifting off. The Align PEMF Mat and Restore PEMF Mat are both designed to help you slip into deep relaxation, which is key to a restful sleep. 

But don’t just take our word for it. The secret about PEMF Mats has been out amongst various professional sporting circles for years. And you don’t have to be an international tennis star or full-time football player to reap the PEMF Mat benefits, nor do you need a whole physio team. We’ve combined infrared heat, gemstone therapy, and cutting-edge PEMF technology to give you the core benefits without a big club budget.

So do you want to restore your muscles, recharge your cells, and recover like a pro? Read who’s all about it below. 

Roger Federer

The global tennis sensation was a known PEMF early adopter amongst tennis circles. He made it part of both his pre and post-game routine to aid in muscle recovery, soreness, and inflammation. 

Shaq

Imagine finding a mat the size of Shaq! While he was a brick wall on the basketball court, Shaquille O’Neal has been known to melt into a PEMF mat before and after workouts. And as his influence still runs deep in the sporting world, he’s been a big proponent (literally) of PEMF technology in locker rooms for younger players still coming up in the league. 

Lance Armstrong

Long-distance cyclists are often considered some of the most resilient endurance athletes on the planet, with competitions lasting up to three weeks across rough, unstable terrain and tough conditions. It’s no wonder that the likes of Lance Armstrong relied on PEMF technology to speed up recovery and improve endurance and performance. 

Muhammed Ali 

Perhaps no one’s body takes a hit quite like Muhammed Ali’s. Boxing is a sport that combines every physical force — stamina, performance, technique, strength, agility, speed, resilience, regimented dieting, and overall mental and physical toughness. So if the king of the boxing world deems PEMF Mats worthy of his limited time, we’d say the decision is unanimous — it’s key to any GOAT training routine. 

The National Football League (NFL)

Similar to boxing, American football players regularly put their bodies through the ringer. As it’s a full contact sport that competes week-after-week, athletes need to remain at their peak and recover at optimum speeds. The mat’s low-frequency electromagnetic waves give those tender tissues a chance to repair themselves more fully for the following week’s kickoff. 

Professional Swimming

Richard Quick, the U.S. Olympic Swimming coach for six consecutive Games, was an early advocate of the technology for his teams, saying: “This is perhaps the most phenomenal device I have ever seen. Prior to competition, it loosens up our athletes so they are able to compete better by increasing their range of motion and reducing their pain and stiffness. I highly recommend that PEMF be a part of every athletic program”.

The Olympic Village (horses and humans)

And Quick’s claims were quick to catch on. PEMF Mats have become a staple to Olympic villages and have reportedly been used by more than 4,000 athletes (and even the equestrian horses!) in various games over the years.
