What is Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy?

Pulsed electromagnetic field therapy (PEMF) is the use of low-level electromagnetic energy to treat different pathologies of muscles, bones, ligaments and inflammation. Pulsed electromagnetic therapy has been used as a non-invasive treatment for clinical rehabilitation involving bone and soft tissue injuries as well as for pain management.

How Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy Promotes Mitochondria Function

Magnetic Mitohormesis is a proprietary technology and a form of PEMF. The magnetic resonance emitted to the body helps to activate mitochondrial activity and muscles, as well as promote cell repair.

So, what is mitochondria and what role does it play?

Known as the powerhouse of the cell, mitochondria are responsible for generating energy that is essential to power our cells. It is necessary for the healthy functioning of our body and for recovery and regeneration. As we age, the quantity and quality of our mitochondria decline, which leads to muscle weakness, fatigue and decline in physical performance. In certain cases of mitochondrial dysfunction, whereby the cells do not produce enough energy, it can lead to health conditions such as diabetes, stroke and increased risk of infection. Mitochondrial activation with pulsed electromagnetic treatment helps to maintain healthy mitochondria to aid proper cell regeneration and overall health.

Numerous research in recent years suggests that mitochondria plays a key role in several important vital functions.

Ageing and age related diseases
Mitochondria play a pivotal role in the aging process due to their central functions in cellular signaling and regulation of apoptosis (programmed cell death). As we age, the quality, quantity, and integrity of mitochondria decline due to the buildup of oxidative stress. Poor mitochondrial function, in turn, accelerates aging due to its reduced ability to regulate crucial cellular processes. Studies have shown that improving and preserving mitochondrial health helps delay aging at the cellular level and reduces the risks of age-related diseases. A functional decline in mitochondria is also linked to skin ageing, through stress-induced wrinkle formation, skin pigmentation and decreased skin barrier function.
Immune Function
Mitochondria play an important role in regulating immune responses. Immune cells, such as T cells and macrophages, require energy to fight infections. Mitochondria provide energy so that these cells can respond effectively to infections. Without healthy mitochondria, the immune system is impaired, making it harder for our bodies to fight off diseases.
Metabolism
Mitochondria regulates metabolic processes in the body to meet the energy needs of various cell types. When Mitochondrial dysfunction in the adipose tissue occurs, the balance between energy intake and expenditure is disrupted. This results in the body storing food as fat instead of burning it for energy, and increases the risk of obesity and metabolic syndrome.

HOW IT WORKS

How BIXEPS Pro Work

Pulsed electromagnetic treatment emits low-level magnetic fields to activate mitochondria and enhance muscle mitochondrial bioenergetics

Leveraging on decades of scientific research, BIXEPS pro is an award-winning device co-developed by scientists from National University of Singapore and ETH Zurich. BIXEPS’ patented magnetic mitohormesis technology has been proven in numerous studies to enhance the cell’s efficiency and capacity to reverse age-related fragility, sports injury recovery and improve metabolic disorders.

Benefits of BIXEPS Pro Electromagnetic Therapy

While BIXEPS Pro is done on the limb, benefits of the treatment is not limited to the treated area. Studies have shown that those who received BIXEPS treatment on only one leg exhibited systematic improvements (of the entire body) since myokine factors are released into the bloodstream.

Improvements have been experienced by 85% of BIXEPS users in studies, irrespective of age.

Muscle ache relief and pain reduction
Many adults experience knee problems as they age due to continual stress on the knee joint. This is a condition that not only affects the elderly, but also young adults in Singapore, which can stem from sports and wear from daily activities. In a National Health Surveillance Survey, 23.7% of Singaporean adults between the age of 18 and 50 are reported to suffer from arthritis or chronic joint problems. Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis in Singapore, which happens when the cartilage is worn and the bones rub against each other, leading to pain, stiffness and swelling. In a study of individuals with knee problems, 75% reported reduction in knee discomfort over 12 weeks of BIXEPS Pro treatment. 67.% of participants in the study also showed significant reduction in systematic pain levels not just in the knee but the body. BIXEPS Pro can be used to reduce aches in the knees, shoulders and back.

Post-Surgical and Sports Injury Recovery
Muscle weakness can persist beyond 6 months of surgery. Mitochondria activation and the release of myokines energises muscles to reduce muscle fatigue and promote muscle repair and regeneration. This helps with shortening recovery time between training intervals, enabling athletes recovering from knee surgery, sprained ligaments, cartilage years and tendonitis to quicken their rehabilitation period.

Promotes muscle rebuilding
After age 30, our muscle mass starts to decline as a part of ageing. On average, 3-8% of muscle mass is lost each decade and most would lose about 30% of muscle mass over their lifespan. In individuals with sarcopenia, the rate of muscle loss is accelerated. Regular exercise is the best way to reduce muscle loss. However, this poses a challenge for elderly, frail individuals, or those with prior injury. In elderly with poor balance or age-related fragility, exercise can risk leading to fractures and serious injury. BIXEPS Pro offers a safe solution for such individuals to build muscle without physical strain. During treatment, the muscle mitochondria is activated, helping to increase energy production in the muscle and promote muscle regeneration. On average, users saw an average gain of 252g in skeletal muscle mass over 8 weeks of BIXEPS treatment.

Improves bone health
Bones become less dense as we age, with 1 in 10 women over the age of 60 affected by osteoporosis globally. When women undergo menopause, bone loss speeds up significantly, which can lead to porous bones and osteoporotic fractures. BIXEPS Pro has been shown in studies to help with improving bone health. The treatment has shown to significantly increase bone thickness, bone mineral density and increase volume in both spongy and compact bone.

Reduces visceral fat and improves metabolism
Visceral fat is fat that surrounds our vital organs and is a fat that is metabolically active. This means that visceral fat can release harmful substances such as inflammatory adipokines that causes insulin resistance and metabolic disturbances. Having an accumulation of harmful visceral fat increases the risk of health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease and diabetes. BIXEPS Pro treatment has been shown to improve metabolic health and enhance the body’s ability to burn fat for energy, thus helping to reduce visceral fat accumulation.

Improved mobility and physical function
Maintaining mobility is a key to living independently as we age. As we age, some may experience changes to mobility such as in our gait (how we walk), balance, and physical strength. By strategically targeting the leg musculature, BIXEPS Pro is capable of producing mitochondrial-dependent regenerative and metabolic cascades typically invoked by exercise, particularly with regards to improving muscle mitochondrial bioenergetics. In a study of elderly above age 60, balance, improved gait speed and greater lower limb strength are reported in users after 20 weeks of BIXEPS treatment.

Who is BIXEPS Pro Suitable For?

Frail, wheelchair bound and elderly individuals who are unable to exercise due to limited mobility
Athletes and sports enthusiasts looking to speed up recovery and improve performance
Individuals seeking relief from muscle ache and pains in the limbs
Overall fitness and health maintenance
