What's New at Legge Fitness Stores

The Theramend

One of the new additions to our product selection is the exciting TheraMend PEMF unit. TheraMend Pulsed Electro-magnetic field therapy (PEMF) works directly on all tissues, at a cellular level, both externally and internally with magnetic percussion. This creates a pushing and pulling motion to massage and strengthen the cells producing elasticity and strength in the cell membrane, and improves permeability of the cell wall. The result is improved assimilation of nutrients, and improved elimination of by-products, which is the basic function of life.

The TheraMend manufactured in Canada by a biomedical company for 20 years, is used worldwide in fitness and health clinics. The new generation of TheraMends are manufactured with advanced electronics and a command control center that has pre-programmed health and therapy workouts. The new generation of TheraMends are also far less expensive than the original models and have custom programs that are suited for various health conditions. TheraMends are used worldwide, are handmade in Canada, and recognized by Health Canada as a Class 2 medical device.

TheraMend is pain-free and uses PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Field) therapy. Using our innovative emwave (Nortek’s trademark of PEMF) technology, it offers a drug-free, non-invasive treatment based on the generation of pulsed magnetic fields, which effectively stimulate natural pain-relief and healing/repair systems at the molecular, cellular and tissue levels of your body.

The Theramend is an easy-to-use, multi-purpose, pain-relieving and healing medical system that is suitable for all active adults in your family. This unique device is clinically proven to help:

• Arthritis
• Migraines
• Inflammation from chronic conditions
• Strains and sprains
• Back and muscle soreness
• Tendon and ligament damage
• Osteoporosis and broken bones

The TheraMend Magnetic Massage ring is more effective when you are relaxed and your muscles are relaxed. This can be achieved in a horizontal position because gravity is neutralized. The TheraMend can be used in a supine position (on your back), a prone position (on your stomach) and lying on each side.

Here are some of the different ways to use the TheraMend.

Lying Down with the unit around the waist	Lying down with the unit around the legs
Lying down with the unit around the upper body	Lying with the unit around the feet and legs
Sitting with the feet in the unit

Static magnets create a unidirectional pull that can be different from the unidirectional pull of gravity, which is perpendicular to the earth, (90°). Gravity always pulls us to the center or the core of the earth. Magnets can offset that downward pull by pulling in a different direction.

With pulsed ‘electro-magnets’ it is possible to create a tapotment or massage action that pulls and releases many times per second. As a result, we can create an internal cellular massage, which is far superior to simply placing a magnet close to the body.
