What is EMTT?
Extracorporeal Magnetotransduction Therapy (EMTT) is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy magnetic pulses directed toward targeted areas of the body.
At Peak Performance Sports Therapy, we use the MAGNETOLITH system to address certain joint, muscle, and tendon concerns. The technology delivers magnetic pulses through clothing without requiring direct skin contact.
Rather than using EMTT as a one-size-fits-all solution, our physical therapists consider your symptoms, medical history, and recovery goals to determine whether it belongs in your personalized treatment plan.
How does EMTT work?
An applicator is positioned over the treatment area to deliver magnetic pulses. Treatment can be performed through clothing without direct skin contact. Your therapist selects the treatment area and settings based on your needs.
Magnetic pulses
Targeted magnetic pulses are delivered to the area being treated.
Treatment through clothing
Treatment can be performed while you remain clothed without direct skin contact.
Individualized settings
