I’m a coach for a sports team working with underprivileged athletes who struggle with anxiety and other mental health challenges. We have had great success using biofeedback and PEMF technologies along with our sports psychologist, and we’ve been exploring new research on higher intensities focally applied on the vagus nerve and thoracic region to improve HRV and autonomic nervous system responses, specifically the frequency domain.
Many of our athletes have heavy sympathetic response, with very underactive PNS. In some cases, HF high frequency domain registering under 100ms² (Peak HF 0.152hz ).
Currently, the PEMF device we have is limited to 2.5 mT, which is effective especially in shifting HF high frequency response to more stable parameters, but I’m now looking for more powerful devices that I can afford, as I don’t have a lot of funds available while managing a team and a facility. I’m curious about your thoughts on using the A9 for improving HRV and whether you think it could help my athletes recover more quickly from a resilience standpoint, or if I should continue using my current device, the NeoRythm.
