TheraPro PEMF Settings: P1–P9 Recovery Guide
TheraPro PEMF Settings Explained: How to Choose the Right Setting for Recovery, Circulation, Focus, and Daily Wellness
Some days your body needs rest.
Some days it needs recovery.
Some days it needs help shifting out of stress mode.
And some days, you just need a simple wellness ritual that helps you feel more grounded, supported, and reconnected to your body.
That is exactly why the TheraPro PEMF, Infrared & Red Light Therapy Recovery Pad was created.
The TheraPro is not just a heat pad. It is not just a red light pad. And it is not just a PEMF device. It is a multi-modality recovery system designed to bring together PEMF therapy, infrared heat, red and near-infrared light, grounding technology, gemstone heat, and TENS microcurrent support in one portable wellness tool.
But one of the most common questions we get is:
“Which PEMF setting should I use?”
This guide breaks down the TheraPro PEMF settings from P1 to P9, what each frequency is designed to support, and how to choose the right setting based on what your body needs that day.
First, What Is PEMF Therapy?
PEMF stands for Pulsed Electromagnetic Field therapy.
In simple terms, PEMF therapy uses low-frequency electromagnetic pulses to interact with the body’s natural electrical systems. Your body is already electrical. Your cells communicate through tiny electrical signals. Your muscles contract through electrical impulses. Your nervous system runs on electrical communication.
PEMF therapy is designed to support that natural communication by delivering pulsed frequencies that may help support:
Circulation
Oxygen delivery
Cellular communication
Recovery
Relaxation
Muscle comfort
Joint mobility
Nervous system balance
Daily energy and vitality
Think of it as a gentle signal that helps remind the body how to shift back into balance.
The TheraPro gives you nine PEMF programs, each with a different wellness focus.
Why PEMF Settings Matter
Not every wellness session has the same goal.
You would not use the same routine before a workout that you would use before bed. You would not choose the same setting for focus that you would choose for deep relaxation. And you may not want the same frequency for mild soreness that you would use for deeper, longer-term discomfort.
That is why the TheraPro includes multiple PEMF settings.
Each program is designed with a different frequency range and intention, giving you the ability to customize your session based on your body’s needs.
The simplest way to think about it:
P1–P2: Rest, grounding, recovery, nervous system support
P3–P5: Focus, energy, mental clarity, cognitive support
P6–P8: Circulation, soreness, discomfort, deeper recovery
P9: Full-spectrum whole-body reset
Let’s break each one down.
TheraPro PEMF Settings: P1–P9
P1 - 3Hz Delta Waves: Deep Regeneration
Best for: Deep rest, evening recovery, sleep support, post-workout recovery, deep relaxation
P1 is the lowest PEMF frequency on the TheraPro and is designed to support a deeply restorative state.
This setting is associated with delta wave patterns, which are often connected with deep sleep and physical restoration. If your body feels depleted, overstimulated, run down, or in need of a slower recovery session, P1 is a beautiful place to start.
P1 may be especially supportive when you want to create a calming nighttime ritual. Pair it with gentle infrared heat, dim lights, slow breathing, and 20–30 minutes of uninterrupted quiet time.
When to use P1
Use P1 when you want to support:
Deep relaxation
Sleep preparation
Post-workout recovery
Tissue recovery support
Evening wind-down
A calmer nervous system state
Gentle full-body restoration
Therasage ritual idea
Use P1 at night while lying on the TheraPro with low to moderate heat. Breathe slowly, keep your phone away, and allow the session to become a signal to your body that the day is over.
P2 - 8Hz Schumann Resonance: Grounding & Healing
Best for: Grounding, inflammation support, nervous system balance, circulation, travel reset
P2 is one of the most popular daily wellness settings because it is designed around 8Hz, often referred to as the Schumann resonance range.
This setting is all about helping the body feel grounded and settled.
If P1 feels like deep rest, P2 feels like returning to center.
It is a great option when you feel scattered, stiff, inflamed, heavy, or energetically “off.” Many people love this setting after travel, after long periods of screen time, or when they want a balanced session that is not too sleepy and not too stimulating.
When to use P2
Use P2 when you want to support:
Grounding
Nervous system balance
General wellness maintenance
Circulation
Joint comfort
Gentle inflammation support
Recovery after travel
A daily reset ritual
Therasage ritual idea
Use P2 in the afternoon or evening when your body feels tense or disconnected. This is a great setting for a “reset before the rest of the day” session.
P3 - 10Hz Alpha Waves: Relaxation & Focus
Best for: Calm focus, creative work, meditation, stress regulation, mental clarity
P3 is a beautiful bridge between relaxation and alertness.
This setting is based around 10Hz alpha wave support, which is often associated with a calm but awake state. It is not intended to knock you out or overly energize you. Instead, it supports that sweet spot where the mind feels clearer, the body feels calmer, and you feel more present.
This is a great option before journaling, meditation, breathwork, creative work, therapy sessions, or a focused work block.
When to use P3
Use P3 when you want to support:
Calm focus
Mental clarity
Creative flow
Meditation
Stress regulation
Emotional reset
Focus without feeling overstimulated
Therasage ritual idea
Try P3 before a focused work session or after a stressful meeting. Use the time to breathe, reset, and create a smoother transition into your next task.
P4 - 25Hz Beta Waves: Focus & Energize
Best for: Morning energy, alertness, brain fog, pre-training, movement preparation
P4 is your focus and energize setting.
This frequency is designed to support alertness, coordination, and cognitive performance. It may be a helpful option in the morning, before movement, before training, or when you feel sluggish and want to support your body’s natural energy.
This is not about forcing the body. It is about helping create a more awake, ready, and activated state.
If P1 and P2 are evening and grounding settings, P4 is more of a morning or pre-activity setting.
When to use P4
Use P4 when you want to support:
Morning energy
Focus
Alertness
Coordination
Pre-workout preparation
Brain fog support
A more active wellness session
Therasage ritual idea
Use P4 in the morning with mild heat before stretching, walking, training, or a busy workday. Think of it as a gentle “switch on” ritual.
P5 - 40Hz Gamma Waves: Memory & Neuroplasticity Support
Best for: Cognitive support, mental performance, learning, clarity, brain-focused wellness
P5 uses a 40Hz gamma frequency, which is often associated with cognitive activity, memory, and higher-level brain processing.
This setting is designed for people who want to use PEMF as part of a brain-supportive wellness routine. It may be a great option when you are working, learning, studying, creating, or trying to support a clearer mental state.
P5 is also a good middle-ground setting when you want something more activating than P3 but not as physically recovery-focused as P6–P8.
When to use P5
Use P5 when you want to support:
Mental clarity
Learning
Memory support
Cognitive wellness
Brain-focused routines
Productivity
Focused recovery
Therasage ritual idea
Use P5 before deep work, content creation, studying, or strategy sessions. Pair it with hydration and breathwork for a clean, focused wellness stack.
P6 - 48Hz: Circulation, Healing & Pain Relief Support - Level 1
Best for: Gentle soreness support, mild discomfort, microcirculation, post-exercise recovery
P6 begins the TheraPro’s higher-frequency recovery settings.
This is a great entry point for people who want support for mild soreness, tension, or everyday discomfort without jumping straight into the more intense recovery programs.
P6 is a thoughtful choice when the body feels sensitive, newly sore, or just in need of gentle support.
When to use P6
Use P6 when you want to support:
Mild soreness
Gentle pain relief support
Microcirculation
Muscle relaxation
Post-exercise soreness
Tension areas
Recovery after a long day
Therasage ritual idea
Use P6 after a walk, workout, long workday, or travel day. It is a great “first step” recovery setting when you want support without going too intense.
P7 - 56Hz: Circulation, Healing & Pain Relief Support - Level 2
Best for: Moderate soreness, stiffness, back and neck tension, joint comfort, deeper recovery
P7 is the next step up from P6.
Where P6 is more gentle, P7 is designed for a more moderate recovery session. This setting may be helpful when you feel deeper stiffness, more noticeable soreness, or chronic areas of tension that need consistent support.
This can be a great setting for the back, neck, shoulders, hips, legs, or joints.
When to use P7
Use P7 when you want to support:
Moderate soreness
Back and neck comfort
Joint stiffness
Muscle tension
Circulation
Oxygen delivery
Postural fatigue
Recovery from repetitive stress
Therasage ritual idea
Use P7 after sitting at a desk, standing all day, lifting, traveling, or when your body feels compressed and tight. Add infrared heat to help relax the body into the session.
P8 - 64Hz: Circulation, Healing & Pain Relief Support - Level 3
Best for: Deep recovery, long-term discomfort, structural support, deeper tissue tension
P8 is the most advanced of the three targeted recovery settings.
This setting is designed for deeper tissue support and longer-standing discomfort patterns. It may be a helpful part of a consistent wellness routine for people who deal with recurring stiffness, deeper muscular tension, or areas that need more regular recovery attention.
Because this is a stronger recovery-focused setting, beginners may want to start with P6 or P7 first and work up to P8 over time.
When to use P8
Use P8 when you want to support:
Deep tissue recovery
Long-term discomfort patterns
Structural recovery support
Chronic tension areas
Joint and muscle comfort
More intensive recovery routines
Deeper circulation support
Therasage ritual idea
Use P8 when you have already built familiarity with PEMF and know how your body responds. Keep the session grounded, hydrated, and comfortable.
P9 - Dynamic Mix: Whole-Body Reset
Best for: Daily full-body wellness, general recovery, whole-body reset, circulation, relaxation, all-frequency support
P9 is the easiest setting to choose when you are not sure where to start.
This program moves through all frequencies in a dynamic pattern, changing every 1–2 seconds to create a full-spectrum PEMF experience.
Think of P9 as the “whole-body reset” setting.
It is great for general wellness maintenance, daily recovery, pre-sleep relaxation, or those days when you do not want to overthink your session.
When to use P9
Use P9 when you want to support:
Whole-body balance
General wellness
Daily maintenance
Circulation
Recovery
Relaxation
Full-spectrum PEMF exposure
A simple default session
Therasage ritual idea
Use P9 when you want the easiest “set it and reset” option. It is a beautiful choice for daily recovery, wellness stacking, or winding down at the end of the day.
How Long Should You Use the TheraPro PEMF Settings?
Most TheraPro sessions last between 20 and 40 minutes, depending on your comfort level, experience, and wellness goals.
If you are new to PEMF therapy, start slow.
A great beginner rhythm is:
Start with 10–20 minutes
Use lower or gentler settings first
Increase gradually based on comfort
Stay hydrated
Notice how your body feels later that day and the next morning
For many people, consistency matters more than intensity. A gentle 20-minute session several times per week can become a powerful wellness ritual.
Can You Use TheraPro Every Day?
Many people use TheraPro daily or several times per week as part of their recovery and wellness routine.
The best schedule depends on your body, your goals, and how you respond.
For general wellness, you might use P2 or P9 daily.
For evening relaxation, P1 may become part of your sleep ritual.
For recovery, you might use P6, P7, or P8 several times per week.
For focus and energy, P3, P4, or P5 may fit better earlier in the day.
The key is to listen to your body. Wellness is not about forcing more. It is about building a rhythm your body can trust.
Why TheraPro Combines PEMF with Infrared Heat and Red Light
PEMF is powerful on its own, but the TheraPro is designed as a multi-modality wellness experience.
That means it layers several supportive technologies into one session.
PEMF Therapy
PEMF supports the body through low-frequency pulsed electromagnetic fields designed to interact with the body’s natural electrical systems.
Infrared Heat
Infrared heat helps warm the body, support circulation, relax muscles, and create a deeper recovery experience.
Red and Near-Infrared Light
Red and near-infrared light are commonly used in wellness routines to support cellular energy, tissue recovery, and circulation.
Grounding Technology
Grounding support is designed to help reconnect the body with natural electrical balance.
Gemstone Heat
The TheraPro includes a gemstone heating surface with natural materials such as jade, amethyst, rose quartz, shungite, and tourmaline.
TENS Microcurrent Support
TENS microcurrent support adds another layer for targeted comfort and recovery.
Together, these technologies make the TheraPro more than a single-purpose pad. It becomes a complete recovery ritual for the body, nervous system, and daily wellness routine.
