PEMFT generates a low-level electromagnetic field, which be utilised to optimise healing and improve neural feedback.  This electrotherapy has a variety of functions, making it beneficial in many different cases.   

The use of mechanical energy to create soundwaves, evoking oscillation (vibration) of tissues, establishing cellular changes.  This effects ion exchange, membrane permeability and fluid exchange which upregulates the natural healing processes. 

These involve the use of heat (thermotherapy) and cold (cryotherapy) to control pain and promote healing.  Aiding by altering levels of blood flow within the localised area triggering hormone release providing analgesic effects.
