Can you use this if you have a pacemaker?

I checked with our Master Clinician regarding your question and she says, "I don’t think there’s an issue doing RMT related to having a pacemaker."

But as always we strongly recommend that you consult with your clinician, doctor, or therapist before starting with our device, if you have any underlying conditions like heart condition, COPD, asthma etc.

ou can write directly to our clinicians via Therapy Support: care@pnmedical.com.
