The BEMER has been implemented by various sports institutes and clinics around the world. It is used by many individual athletes and trainers, both locally and internationally.
 |
Prof. Dr. Dr. Winfried Banzer - Institute of Sports Medicine, University of Frankfurt “Improving microcirculation through BEMER application has a crucial effect on the fitness level and training program of sportsmen and women.” |
 |
Dr. Beat Villiger - Chief Medical Officer of Swiss Olympic Team “The advantage of the BEMER therapy lies in its scientifically-proven effect.” |
 |
Dr. Horst Michaelis - ex-Director of the academy of Bioenergetics (Sports medicine centre) Swiss Olympic trainer development project coach “Regeneration is a keyword in all sports disciplines, and with the improved circulation it lessens the warm up period for the athletes; leaving them with more energy for the actual Contest.” |
The International Federation of Sports Medicine
Experts and researchers in the field of BEMER therapy were invited to discuss the benefits of the BEMER, as an effective tool in sports medicine, by FIMS, the International Federation of Sports Medicine, at their congress during June 2006, ahead of the Olympic Games in 2008.
The following high performance sports people & teams have a decisive advantage by using BEMER:
Swiss Olympic Team
The Swiss Olympic Team officially endorsed the BEMER and 25 BEMER therapy systems accompanied the top Swiss athletes to the Olympic games in Athens 2004 and 2008. This compliments the nine Swiss Olympic medical centres already using the BEMER. BEMER offers an advantage to all 1 400 Swiss competitive athletes who make up the team.
Trans Alp Challenge
The Bemer has also been used to great effect during the week-long Trans-Alp Mountain Bike Competition, one of the most demanding races for this sport as it leads through various alpine countries. This annual event is supported by BEMER in full co-operation with main sponsor Adidas and the response of the bikers to the Bemer support team and the BEMER therapy is overwhelmingly positive. Accidents and injuries are quite frequent during such
Cape Epic Mountain Bike Challenge
BEMER has also made a significant contribution during the Cape Epic Mountain Bike Race. During the Cape Epic, BEMER Therapy was used to treat cyclist’s exhaustion, provided regeneration and brought relief and recovery in cases of injuries and wounds. The BEMER Tent was a popular destination for the cyclists. Cyclists with broken skin, damaged joints (especially knees and wrists), broken bones, backaches and cramps were given daily BEMER treatment.
Swiss Tennis Team
You might be surprised to know that the Swiss Tennis Team use the BEMER.

| Paul Mentis Gold, World Games Bodybuilding Champion [Greece]Round about 6 weeks before my world championship training preparations, one of the most intense training periods for any athlete, I tore my infra spinatus muscle. My first thoughts were that I would have to terminate my preparations as the medical diagnosis was: Three weeks total rest and administration of antirheumatic and anti-phlogistic medicine. This would have effectively ruined my participation in the World Games in Japan. The situation was critical; I could not move my left arm and hence could not train anymore. As it happened, Mr Ulmer, who owned a Bemer 3000 privately, offered me the use of his Bemer 3000. At this stage of a desperate situation, I was open to “anything” and I gladly accepted the opportunity to undergo Bemer 3000 treatment. The astonishing thing was that I was able to move my left arm after only two therapy sessions and I decided to recommence my training program the very next day. I won the Gold Medal at the World Games in Japan! My winning is not due to the Bemer treatment alone, however no matter how good the training preparation, without the Bemer 3000 I would not have been able to compete at all. The advantages of improved circulation, fast regeneration from a sports injury, improved metabolism and the likely prevention of further injuries let me whole – heartedly recommend the Bemer 3000 Therapy for my own Fitness Studio. Now of course, I use the Bemer 3000 Therapy for myself regularly. |

| Martin Legner Wheelchair Tennis Champion [Austria]Since June 27th, 2000, I use the BEMER mat daily. I am achieving positive results in the form of small improvements. Specifically my muscles, which atrophied after becoming a paraplegic, are getting stronger. The BEMER mat is excellent in supporting the building of muscle. The main reason, however, why the Bemer-mat accompanies me all year round to the wheelchair tennis tournaments, is the fact that I am experiencing much less nerve pain in my legs since I started using the Bemer, and therefore am more able to enjoy life. Less nerve pain for me means also a good night's sleep. Consequently, I feel much more rested in the morning, and can tackle the day's challenges with vigour. |
