How BEMER Benefits Athletes
The statements made in this document have not
been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA); however, as noted on
the Overview page, BEMER
products are FDA registered Class I medical devices.
The “root cause” of about 95% of all health issues is poor blood flow. BEMER has been clinically proven in independent laboratories as the BEST method known today to substantially increase blood flow. Exercise may help increase blood flow about 5 - 7%, other PEMF (Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field) devices about 7 – 10%; but nothing comes close to achieving the approximate 30% increase in the delivery of oxygen and nutrients to every cell that BEMER provides—with no side effects.
Substantially increasing microcirculation helps nourish and oxygenate
trillions of cells in your body; leads to more efficient removal of toxins and waste products; and
allows your body to correct itself, heal on its own, and perform at its best.
This can all be accomplished in only 8 minutes of sitting on the BEMER B.Body mat!

Key Benefits BEMER Provides Athletes
Technology Overview
Insufficient oxygen in
the cells is thought to be the root cause of most illnesses, including
cancer. BEMER not only increases the electro-magnetic energy of all the cells,
it also improves the circulation and oxygenation of the tissues. This encourages
each cell in the body to function optimally and to correct metabolic and
energetic abnormalities, resulting in freedom from disease
BEMER Provides a Competitive Sports Advantage
The human body contains 70 to 100 trillion cells that are
coordinated into a harmonious ensemble of tissues and organs. Every thought and
nerve impulse, every communication by hormones, depends on the optimum function
of each cell and their intercommunication. If the cells are healthy the
organism is healthy.
In order to fulfill its functions, each cell requires energy, a
process that requires an adequate supply of oxygen and nutrients. 50% of the
energy is used to convert ADP to ATP, and the other 50% is needed to maintain
the cell membrane potential. This electrical charge around the healthy cell
should be 70-90mV. In disease the membrane potential is found to be reduced to
30-40mV, and in cancer even as low as 15-20mV. At levels below 60mV the
membrane structure becomes distorted, and below 10mV the cell dies. BEMER
therapy has been shown to restore the membrane potential to normal in a very
short period of time.
The absorption of substances and the excretion of wastes are
also controlled by electromagnetic energy, which if deficient leads to poor
function and ultimately cell damage. With BEMER, enzymes that are vital to
metabolic processes are activated and repair proteins are synthesized, the detoxification
of cells is intensified, and the immune system is positively stimulated.

2018 World Record for Paced Bicycle Land Speed —
SEE THE VIDEO OF HER AMAZING RIDE
The fastest human to ride a bicycle over open ground is named Denise Mueller-Korenek. She rode a custom bike at an average of 183.932 miles per hour (faster than the takeoff speed of a Boeing 757), shattering a world record that had stood since 1995, on Sunday September 16, 2018.
At Utah's Bonneville Salt Flats on a custom-built carbon KHS bicycle she rode behind a custom-built vehicle to minimize air resistance she broke the previous world record, 167 miles per hour (269 km/h), that was set in 1995 by Dutchman Fred Rompelberg. Riding at that speed just inches behind a pace car is so dangerous that few world-class cyclists have the nerve to attempt it. Denise used BEMER as part of her training for her 2018 record-braking ride.
Here's what she had to say about using BEMER to help perform her best:
"In September 2018 I set the World
Record for the fastest human on a bicycle at 183.9mph, using the BEMER as an
integral part of my daily preparation. I use my BEMER each night
while I sleep, and on specific programs during the day to help give me maximum
performance, recovery and rest. The microcirculatory benefits of the BEMER help
me go above and beyond in my training."

“Improving
microcirculation through BEMER application has a crucial effect on the fitness
level and training program of sportsmen and women.”
Dr.
Horst Michaelis
Director of the
Academy of Bioenergetics (Sports medicine) Swiss Olympic Coach
“Regeneration
is a keyword in all sports disciplines, and with the BEMER improved
circulation it lessens the warm up period for the athletes, leaving them with
more energy for the actual Contest.”
Dr. Beat Villiger M.D.
Chief Medical
Officer, Swiss Olympic Team
“The
benefit of the BEMER system to our athletes is irrefutable. Regeneration
is improved after sports performances. Obviously, what's good for
competitive athletes is also a huge bonus to your own health. The
advantage of the BEMER therapy lies in its scientifically-proven effect.”
Robert Karlsson / Professional
Golfer

Winner 2008
“I use BEMER
on a daily basis. It is the start of my daily routine. When I get
back from a long day at the golf course and am feeling too tired to train at
the gym, I use the BEMER for an extra boost. After BEMER
therapy, I have had some of my best training sessions!”
The Cape Epic
Mountain Bike Challenge
The
Absa Cape Epic is known as the most brutal mountain bike stage race in the
world. Wild and open, sometimes inhospitable and other times staggeringly
beautiful, the Western Cape region of South Africa both tests and surprises all
who tackle its ungroomed trails. 1350 riders are challenged mentally,
physically and emotionally. Both equipment and spirit are pushed to the limit
due to some of the most severe conditions at any mountain bike
competition.
BEMER
made a significant contribution during the Cape Epic Mountain Bike Race. During
the Cape Epic, BEMER therapy was used to treat cyclist’s exhaustion, provided
regeneration and brought relief and recovery in cases of injuries and wounds.
The BEMER Tent was a popular destination for the cyclists. Cyclists with broken
skin, damaged joints (especially knees and wrists), broken bones, backaches and
cramps were given daily BEMER treatments.
The Trans-Alps Bike Challenge
The most spectacular mountain bike stage race across the
Alps! Wonderful panorama, stunning passes, beautiful stage
locations. Two members teams ride 662 kilometers, climb over 22,000
meters in elevation during this 8-day / 8-stage marathon through Germany, Austria, Switzerland
and Italy. Pure will power and adrenaline are required to finish
this endurance challenge!
The BEMER
was used to great effect during the week-long Trans-Alp Competition
which challenges top endurance athletes via physical punishment, stress,
accidents and multiple injuries. Physical endurance, maximum performance and
quick athletic recovery are mainstays of this event. This annual
event is supported by BEMER in full co-operation with main sponsor Adidas and
the response of the bikers to the BEMER support team and the BEMER therapy is
overwhelmingly positive.
Florian Vogel / MTB Cross Country
Florian is
a Swiss professional racing cyclist and World Cup winner
who has consistently been a top 3 finisher for over a decade.
"The
BEMER is a loyal companion at home,
in the training camp and during World Cup races
all over the globe. It is a regeneration method that
has become truly indispensable in
high-performance sports."

"We
always carry two BEMERs.
They are used all the time for regeneration
after strenuous trainings on the track or
to support the treatment of injuries."
Reto

"The
BEMER applications help me regenerate much faster and better after trainings
and competitions. Because of that, I have a higher performance capacity. The
new
Sleep Program gives me a jump-start into the day and also allows me to
regenerate even better. I can barely imagine a day
without BEMER now."
International SOCCER / Team Germany
FC
Schalke 04 (also known as “the S04,” is a professional German
association-football club and multi-sports club that plays at the highest level
in the German Bundesliga Soccer League. To stay at that level all possible
resources are provided for the training and medical assistance of players to avoid
preventable problems and aid players in achieving optimal performance. One
of the most dreaded problems in football clubs is movement restrictions and
pain in the musculoskeletal system.
Therefore, FC
Schalke 04 uses BEMER therapy. Team doctor Thorsten Rarreck
said: "Our professionals constantly work on their personal
taxability. After intensive workouts, it is vital to ensure rapid and
efficient regeneration. Injury has been restored immediately at the micro
level, which can prevent serious damage at a later stage."
"Anyone who wants to claim top
level must constantly develop in both training and medical care. This is
why the medical department of the Royal Blue has now integrated the BEMER into
its treatment concept after an intensive testing phase. Movement
limitations and unclear pain are often a result of small injuries to
muscles and ligaments and are among the most feared symptoms in top
footballers."
Each
system in the human body are only as good as the performance of the cells
involved, and cell performance depends decisively on the blood flow in the capillary
region. BEMER therapy improves blood distribution in the area of
the smallest blood vessels (capillaries) by means of a special,
patented, stimulation signal.
With
the decision to integrate BEMER therapy into their sports medicine treatment
concept the S04 follows a trend in professional sport that has also been
followed by other clubs such as AC Milan, the physiotherapeutic support of the
VFB Stuttgart and the former Turkish champion FC Bursapor.
Martin Legner
/ Tennis
Martin is a
professional Austrian wheelchair tennis player who has been ranked
number one for wheelchair doubles.
Legner has won the Australian
Open doubles title four times with Robin Ammerlaan since 2000
and has won eight doubles titles. Six of them are Australian Open Titles with the
other two being French Open titles. He has won one French Open and
one Australian Open singles title. He has represented his country at
every Summer Paralympics since 1992 and has competed in both singles
and doubles at all of those Games. His favorite surfaces are clay and hard
court. As of April 7, 2007, his highest singles rank was number three. Also, of
that date, he was ranked number six for singles and doubles.
"I use the BEMER mat daily. I am achieving positive results in the
form of small improvements. Specifically, my muscles, which atrophied after
becoming a paraplegic, are getting stronger. The BEMER mat is excellent in
supporting the building of muscle. The main reason, however, why the BEMER-mat
accompanies me all year round to the wheelchair tennis tournaments, is the fact
that I am experiencing much less nerve pain in my legs since I started using
the BEMER, and therefore am more able to enjoy life. Less nerve pain for me
means also a good night's sleep. Consequently, I feel much more rested in the
morning, and can tackle the day's challenges with vigor."
Boris Becker / Tennis
International
star, tennis legend, appealing brand and role model, Boris Becker has won
49 tournaments in singles and 15 in doubles. He was victorious in six
Grand Slams, including three times most important tournament in the world: Wimbledon.
Boris
headed the world ranking for twelve weeks and remains the youngest Wimbledon
champion in the history of the tournament.
"My
long career as a tennis pro has affected my body very deeply. I feel the
enormous physical stress and the many injuries I had suffered all the more
today. A fate to which any top athlete can probably relate. Since I started
using the BEMER system, I feel a significant relief of my symptoms and my
general well-being has substantially improved. "
Marc Girardelli / Alpine Skiing
A world star, and a
sports icon with cult status, Marc was World Cup skiing champion five times, a
feat no other professional ski racer has managed this to date. He
masterfully dominated the competition of Alpine sportsmen for years. Marc
won the Hahnenkamm downhill in Kitzbuhel and the Lauberhorn downhill events.
The sum total of his successes are impressive: he won
46 international World Cup championships in skiing, two gold medals and one
bronze at the World Championships and two medals at the Winter Olympic Games in Albertville.
"BEMER had me convinced from the very first moment. Better endurance and decreased risk of injury are deciding factors in professional sports. Victory, or forgettable runner-up status; these decide who writes history and who has to take their place among the masses. I've decided to broaden my focus and share my experiences of BEMER with my fellow athletes. BEMER has become indispensable, whether in elite sports or in my personal life."
Roger Federer / Tennis
The number one
tennis player in the world, Roger swept the Australian Open,
Wimbledon and the U.S. Open for three years. Federer is also a member of the
Swiss Tennis Team which all use the BEMER Therapy as part of their normal
performance and recovery regimen. A loyal BEMER user for over 15 years.
At age 35, Roger won his 5th Australian Open and his 18th Grand Slam title.
Tobias Mehner / Motorcycle Biathlon
"BEMER
is with me at every competition. By using the BEMER Set, I can regenerate
faster and I get fitter more quickly for the next race. My muscles ache a lot
less or don’t ache at all after training and as 6-times German team
champion in the Motorcycle Biathlon and 3-times German vice-champion, I really
do train a lot! Apart from that, I am ill much less frequently since I’ve been
using BEMER - that’s undoubtedly due to the fact that BEMER reduces my susceptibility
to infection."
Rafael Nadal / Tennis
Nadal, who has won
15 Grand Slam singles titles, an Olympic gold medal in singles,
an all-time record of 30 ATP World Tour Masters
1000 titles, 18 ATP World Tour 500 tournaments, is a BEMER
user.
At 24 he became the
youngest male player in history to achieve the Career Grand Slam. In 2011,
was named the Laureus World Sportsman of the
Year. This left-hander has reached 100 finals on the ATP World Tour. He
was also a member of the winning Spain Davis Cup team.
Paul
Mentis / Body Builder
Gold Medal winner,
World Games Bodybuilding Champion [Greece].
About 6 weeks
before the world championship, during training preparations, one of the
most intense training periods for any athlete, Paul tore his infra spinatus
muscle. Paul's first thoughts were that he would have to terminate his
preparations as the medical diagnosis was: Three weeks total rest and
administration of antirheumatic and anti-phlogistic medicine. This would have
effectively ruined any participation in the World Games in Japan. The situation
was critical; he could not move his left arm and hence could not train anymore.
As it happened, Mr. Ulmer, offered Paul the use of his BEMER.
"At this
stage of a desperate situation, I was open to anything and I gladly
accepted the opportunity to undergo treatment. The astonishing thing was
that I was able to move my left arm after only two therapy sessions and I
decided to recommence my training program the very next day. I won the Gold
Medal at the World Games in Japan!
My winning is
not due to the BEMER treatment alone, however no matter how good the training
preparation, without the BEMER I would not have been able to compete at all.
The advantages of improved circulation, fast regeneration from a sports injury,
improved metabolism and the likely prevention of further injuries let me whole
- heartedly recommend the BEMER Therapy for my own Fitness Studio. Now of
course, I use the BEMER regularly."
“Why do I
always have my BEMER in my hand luggage? Above all, after hard training or a
contest it provides me with faster regeneration and prevents muscle
fatigue. A strong immune system is vital for optimal health and the BEMER
gives me that support the whole year round.
By preparing
my body I am able to save 1/3 the energy normally taken in the warm up before a
contest, allowing me more energy and endurance in the competition. I use
the intensive applicator substantially for preventing and treating injuries”
LC Bruhl / Handball Team
LC Bruhl
is a women's handball club from St.
Gallen in Switzerland.
They have won the Swiss championship 28 times and are
7-time Cup Winners.
"Whether it is for the treatment of minor injuries or faster
regeneration
after exhausting games or training sessions, throughout the past years,
BEMER has always supported us to quickly regain the level of fitness
we needed for mastering the challenges."
Reinhard Divis / Ice Hockey
Reinhard is a retired pro ice hockey
goaltender. He played for several teams in the Austrian Hockey
League and was goaltender for the Austrian national
team while winning several World Championships. Divis
also played in the NHL for the St. Louis Blues.
"About 4 years ago I had really strong back
pain. Then I discovered BEMER. Ever since I use it every day."
Tina Weirather / Alpine Skiing
Christina
"Tina" Weirather (born May 24, 1989) is a World Cup alpine ski racer
from Liechtenstein.
During the fourth
training run for the downhill at the 2014 Winter Olympics, Weirather crashed at
Rosa Khutor on February 9th and injured her lower right leg. The bone contusion
caused her to miss her starts in the Olympics and the remainder of the 2014
World Cup season. At the time, she was second in the World Cup overall,
downhill and super-G standings and third in the giant slalom. BEMER therapy was
crucial to Tina's recovery.
On the regular
World Cup Tour, Tina Weirather claimed 7 wins and 31 podiums. After getting
pretty close a few times: 2nd of DH ranking in 2012, 4th of DH and 3rd of SG
ranking in 2014, 2nd of SG ranking in 2016, Weirather just grabbed her first
career globe in the Super-G. She proved to be one of the best skiers of her
generation, by finishing the Overall World Cup in 5th position in 2014 and in
4th position in 2016.
"I have
been using BEMER for quite some time and am convinced that the treatment has
greatly relieved the injuries I sustained during the last few years. I often
have back pain and bruises - especially very painful and protracted bruising
caused by my ski shoes. I use BEMER to alleviate this and notice that my
injuries heal considerably more quickly with BEMER than without it. I have been
pleasantly surprised many times to find that I can regenerate far more quickly
with BEMER after tough training sessions, making it possible for me to train
more intensively."
Thomas Frischknecht / Mountain Biker
Thomas is a former
Swiss mountain bike and cyclo-cross racer, often called Europe's Elder
Statesman of mountain biking, because of his extraordinarily long
career at the top level of the sport.
A
professional since 1990, he was on top of the Mountain Bike World
Championship. Frischi (as he is called) advocates staying 'fit for
life' and dope free racing. He is considered an excellent example of
a clean sportsman. He won the Olympic Silver medal in 1996.
1x World Champion, 3x Vice World Champion, 2x World champion
mountain bike marathon, 3x World Cup winner, 1x European Champion
and 12x Swiss champion.
"The
risk of injury is particularly high in my sport. I can significantly lower this
risk through excellent medical assistance and regular BEMER applications."
Fussball-Akademie Karoly Sandor
"We’ve been successfully using BEMER therapy for our
under 19 team on a daily basis before training sessions. After the players
have been through intensive training, we use the therapy afterwards too, for
speedier recuperation. We can see just how great an effect the daily 2 x 8-minute
treatments have on player performance and recuperation levels. The advantages
are clear, and not just from a sporting perspective. Since our players don’t
have that much leisure time, short periods of treatment are very convenient for
them. We also use BEMER effectively for rehabilitation measures - for example
the intensive treatment of torn ligaments, pulled muscles, bruises, traumas or
swelling from fluid build-up"
Nathan Baggaley
/ Canoe Racer
Nathan is an Australian sprint
canoeist and surf-ski champion. He is a three-times world
