If you’ve heard about BIXEPS therapy and want to know if it’s right for you, this page covers the questions we get asked most often at Spinefit. If yours isn’t here, just WhatsApp us and we’ll answer it directly.
BIXEPS therapy is a non-invasive muscle recovery treatment that uses pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) to stimulate mitochondria — the energy-producing units inside your muscle cells. It was developed through research at the National University of Singapore (NUS) and ETH Zurich, and is classified as a fitness and wellness device in Malaysia (REF: MDAPC2023036). At Spinefit, we were the first private practice in Malaysia to introduce BIXEPS therapy back in 2022.
You sit comfortably and place one leg into the BIXEPS device. The device emits low-intensity magnetic pulses that penetrate the muscle tissue and stimulate mitochondrial activity at a cellular level. There’s no pain, no physical effort required, and most people feel little to nothing during the session — occasionally a mild warmth or tingling. Each leg is done for 10 minutes, so a full session is around 20 minutes at Spinefit Chiro & Physio.
Yes. BIXEPS uses low-energy, non-ionising magnetic fields that meet international safety standards. It is non-invasive and doesn’t require injections, medication, or any physical exertion. It is safe for elderly patients, those recovering from surgery, and people with chronic pain or limited mobility. If you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, let us know before booking — we’ll assess whether it’s suitable for you.
BIXEPS therapy works well for a wide range of people, including:
No — and it’s not meant to. BIXEPS therapy works best as a complement to physiotherapy or exercise, not a replacement. Think of it as priming your muscles at a cellular level so that the physical work you do in physiotherapy becomes more effective. For patients who genuinely can’t exercise, it provides a way to keep muscle metabolism active in the meantime.
Research and our clinical experience both point to 12 weeks of consistent sessions — at least once a week — as the point where most people notice meaningful changes in strength, mobility, and pain levels. That said, some patients notice improvements earlier, particularly with swelling and pain. Like any form of rehabilitation, consistency matters more than intensity.
Our BIXEPS therapy sessions at Spinefit Chiro & Physio are best discussed during the initial consultation, as we typically recommend combining it with chiropractic or physiotherapy for the best outcome. WhatsApp us at +6019 341 7572 and we’ll walk you through the options and pricing.
