Bob, since I cannot see how you do your back treatment, can you explain in detail how you do it
Which device, how do you attach the coils, type of tape, what holds the device in place.
I have a mental picture, but I like to learn how others , especially you, use the device .
Respectfully,
Grasshopper
What I do is think the following:
#1 - THINK
What is hurt?
Where is the on my body?
Which device do I want to use?
Does this require mobility during the day? While seated? While sleeping?
How long will I plan on using PEMF? All day? All night? For short sessions?
#2 - PLAN
Decide on a specific device and how you want to apply it
Be honest: Do you have practical skills like sewing, or do you need to ask a neighbor for help every time you need to change the batteries in your TV remote control?
Based on your skill level: Look for a pre-made garment, bandage, or DIY supplies to hold the device where I want it, the way I need to hold it in place
At this point many people will ask me: gee Bob, why don’t you build the necessary garments to make it easy for everyone? Great question.
Answer: Making garments is extremely difficult and very costly. A garment to hold a PEMF device would cost at least as much as the PEMF device itself, but no one is willing to actually pay as much for a garment as they are willing to pay for a PEMF system. Many people have tried making PEMF garment accessories as a business model. They all end up going broke. Failed businesses serve no one.
#3 - DIY
Based on your own specific needs, you do what you can within your skills and abilities. In my case, I do a mix of two things: Buy garments and modify garments:
I buy joint and limb compression wraps from amazon.com
For example, for my knee I use an ice-pack knee wrap:
If you need it to be very secure/tight, you can use a compression sleeve rather than an ice wrap:
https://www.amazon.com/s?k=knee+compression+sleeve&i=hpc&crid=3KG9M5XXTGVCW&sprefix=knee+comp%2Chpc%2C129&ref=nb_sb_ss_p13n-expert-pd-ops-ranker_ci_hl-bn-left_1_9
A compression sleeve will hold more securely, which you may need if you are very active while using the device, but it is also less comfortable (too tight). Each person needs to decide what is best for them for their specific needs.
For general use, such as on arms, legs, torso, lower back, etc, you can use an ice wrap shaped like an ACE bandage:
In some cases, I modify the garments extensively, such as for my lower back
I am wearing this as I write: Suspenders with a large Velcro patch sewn in where the suspenders cross over the injured ares on my back. The side you can see in the image is the side that is held against my lower back.
Be sure to sew the Velcro so that the soft surface faces your body. Then I crazy glue on small patches of Velcro onto the face of a P9 unit, then I position it so that the internal coils are placed directly over the injured area on my lower back. The Velcro patches can be small and will still be secure. You can detach and re-position the P9 as needed.
Summary: no one manufactures a perfect solution for holding PEMF units or coils where you need them anywhere on your body. The best most affordable most practical and useful solution is to work within your skill spectrum to buy and modify and creatively use commercially available garments. If you come up with something brilliant, effective, simple, and inexpensive, please share it here.
Master. thank you
In the case of the interesting back contraption there is not tape involved to attaching the coils ?, the velcro is for the device only?
A picture of you back with attachments would be very helpful and appreciated when you get time and an assistant.

The model P9 has internal coils. No external coils needed.
If you want to use a system with coils, then you need to hold the pulse generator in place, and separately hold the coils in place. External coils may be necessary, depending on exactly what you want to do.
