Understand PEMF — and actually know how to use it
Cut through the marketing noise with a research-grounded deep dive into Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy — covering the physics, the clinical evidence, device selection, and step-by-step protocol design for both human and animal wellness.

"My job isn't to sell you on PEMF — it's to give you the tools to evaluate it honestly, so whatever you decide, you decide with confidence."— Lori Davenport

What you'll learn
What you'll be able to do
- Explain the physics of pulsed electromagnetic fields and how they interact with living cells at a biological level
- Critically evaluate PEMF research studies, distinguishing strong clinical evidence from preliminary or industry-funded findings
- Identify the key therapeutic applications of PEMF for humans — including pain, inflammation, bone healing, and sleep — and the evidence behind each
- Identify validated PEMF applications for animals, including horses, dogs, and livestock, and understand species-specific protocols
- Select and compare PEMF devices by frequency, intensity, waveform, and intended use to make informed purchasing or clinical decisions
- Design a basic PEMF wellness protocol for a human or animal client, including session duration, frequency, and safety contraindications

Who it's for
Is this you?
Integrative wellness practitioners
You recommend or offer PEMF in your practice and want evidence-based clinical grounding to back your protocols and client conversations.
Physical therapists & rehab clinicians
You're evaluating PEMF as an adjunct modality and need a rigorous, research-literate foundation before incorporating it with patients.
Equine therapists & horse owners
You're already using or considering PEMF in the barn and want species-specific science instead of anecdote-driven advice.
Veterinarians & vet techs
You want credible, peer-reviewed context for PEMF's canine, equine, and livestock applications to guide clinical decisions confidently.
Health-curious consumers
You're considering buying a PEMF device and want to cut through the marketing to understand what you'd actually be purchasing — and why.
Pet owners seeking drug-free care
You want to understand whether PEMF is a legitimate option for your dog's pain or mobility issues, without being misled by hype.

Lori Davenport
If you're reading this, there's a good chance you've already encountered PEMF somewhere — maybe a practitioner mentioned it, maybe you saw a device advertised for your horse or your dog, or maybe you've been using one and wondered what's actually happening at a biological level. And if you've tried to find clear, honest answers, you've probably hit one of two walls: marketing copy dressed up as education, or dense research papers that assume you have a graduate degree in bioelectromagnetics.
That frustration is exactly why this school exists.
I built The PEMF Institute because the field genuinely deserves better resources — not cheerleading, not fear, but the kind of grounded, evidence-first education that helps you think for yourself. The curriculum I've designed walks you through the actual physics of pulsed electromagnetic fields, what they do at the cellular level, and how to read the research critically — including how to spot the red flags that show up far too often in this space: tiny sample sizes, industry-funded trials, and outcome claims that outrun the data. That's not cynicism; that's the baseline literacy every serious student of PEMF needs.
From there, we get practical. We cover the human health applications with the strongest evidence — bone healing, pain and inflammation, sleep, and more — as well as the areas where the science is still developing (and I'll be straight with you about which is which). There's a full module on animal applications, because equine and veterinary PEMF is a legitimate and growing field that deserves the same rigorous treatment. And we close by putting it all together: how to actually design a protocol, select a device, screen for contraindications, and track whether what you're doing is working.
I want to be clear about what this course is and isn't. It won't hand you a magic protocol or tell you PEMF is the answer to every condition. What it will do is give you a durable framework — the kind you can apply to new devices, new studies, and new clients for years to come, because you understand the underlying principles rather than just following a recipe.
If you're ready for education that respects both the science and your intelligence, I'd genuinely love to have you in this school. Come with your questions — the harder the better.
