As we age, maintaining strength and mobility becomes increasingly difficult. For many older adults, traditional exercise may not be an option due to frailty, chronic conditions, or pain.
Introducing BIXEPS – a machine developed in Singapore, offering a painless, non-invasive solution for muscle regeneration and the prevention of sarcopenia (age-related muscle loss).
Now available at The Bone and Joint Centre, BIXEPS is helping seniors reclaim strength, improve mobility, and reduce pain – all with just 10-minute sessions once a week.
BIXEPS uses low-energy magnetic fields to stimulate the mitochondria in the muscle cells. This magnetic pulse therapy replicates some of the same beneficial effects as endurance exercise (such as brisk walking, cycling, or swimming) – even in patients who are unable to exercise due to weakness, injury, or chronic illness.
The therapy is administered by placing one leg into the device. While it targets that specific limb, the benefits extend systemically throughout the body via myokines and metabolic signals carried in the bloodstream. This makes BIXEPS ideal for older adults and patients who cannot participate in conventional rehabilitation or exercise routines.
BIXEPS is not a substitute for exercise, but it is a powerful solution for those unable to engage in it. Here are some main benefits:
BIXEPS is safe and effective for a wide range of individuals, including:
Unlike traditional exercise or physiotherapy, BIXEPS does not require any movement, making it especially suitable for individuals who are frail or unable to participate in physical activity due to pain or weakness.
Time commitment is also minimal — BIXEPS sessions take just 10 minutes per week, compared to traditional methods that may require longer and more frequent appointments.
In terms of pain, BIXEPS is painless, whereas the discomfort level in traditional exercise and physiotherapy can vary depending on the individual and the type of treatment.
BIXEPS is well-suited for frail patients, offering a safe and gentle alternative where traditional exercise is often not an option, and physiotherapy may only be partially appropriate.
Yes. BIXEPS uses low-energy magnetic fields that are non-ionising and safe. It meets international safety standards and is generally well tolerated.
Most users feel little to no sensation. Some describe a mild warmth or tingling in the legs, but the treatment is painless. Sessions last just 10 minutes and require no special preparation.
BIXEPS is suitable for most people, especially seniors or those who are unable to exercise. However, it’s not recommended for individuals with active electronic implants like pacemakers. If you have other types of implants, please consult your doctor.
Once a week is enough to see benefits, but twice weekly sessions can accelerate progress for some. Your provider can tailor the frequency based on your needs.
At The Bone and Joint Centre, we are proud to offer the new BIXEPS therapy to eligible patients alongside professional medical guidance.
Whether you're helping an elderly loved one improve mobility or seeking support for your own recovery, BIXEPS offers a convenient, science-backed pathway to improved strength and vitality — all without the physical strain of conventional exercise.
