BIORESONANCE
A hub for horse owners and veterinary readers. Educational material only.
If you have heard the word and nothing else
What bioresonance is, in plain terms
Somebody on the yard has mentioned it. A vet you trust uses it. You would like to know what it is before you let anyone near your horse with it.
Bioresonance is a method that came out of Germany in the late 1970s. The company behind it, Regumed, has built the BICOM devices for more than thirty years, and its veterinary version is used by vets and trained practitioners in over ninety countries.
The premise is simple to state. Every living body carries its own patterns of electromagnetic oscillation. The device picks those patterns up from the animal, or from a small sample of hair, saliva or blood, processes them, and returns modified patterns through a mat or hand applicator. That is the whole of it: bioenergetic testing, then bioresonance therapy.
Conventional veterinary medicine does not accept that premise, and we say so plainly further down this page. What we can tell you with confidence is what a session involves, who carries it out, what the device is, and how it sits alongside your vet.
The cases stand by the door. The horse stays put.
30+Years of BICOM devices
20 to 30Minutes per session
The horse stays on its own yard, in its own arena, on its own terms.
What actually happens
A session, at your yard
The practitioner comes to you. The kit is two aluminium cases on a trolley: the device in one, the test sets and applicators in the other. It runs from a normal socket. Most sessions take twenty to thirty minutes, and most horses spend them eating.
01
Before anyone arrives
You will be asked to have to hand a little of everything the horse eats and touches: hard feed, forage, supplements, water, coat spray, even a handful of the arena surface. The practitioner works from the horse's own world, not a generic list.
02
The sample
A few hairs from the mane, a swab of saliva, or a few drops of blood if your vet has drawn some, go into one of the three brass cups on the panel. That is the horse's input. Nothing is taken that a groom would not take on a normal morning.
03
Testing
The practitioner works through the samples and the device's own test sets, one by one, noting where there is a response and where there is none. This is the bioenergetic testing. It is quiet, and the horse is often unaware it is happening.
04
Therapy
A thin white flexible mat is laid flat across the horse's back, just behind the withers, with a single cable running down to the device. The device returns the modified patterns through the mat. No heat, no vibration, no sound. Horses tend to drop their heads, and a good many lie down.
05
Afterwards
The practitioner talks you through what responded during testing and what was done. Where the findings touch feeding or management, that is a conversation with you and your vet, not an instruction.
06
How often
That depends on the horse and the practitioner. Some yards book a single session; competition and breeding yards more often book a short series a few weeks apart, then review.

What a session is not
- Not a substitute for a veterinary examination. If your horse is unwell, ring your vet first.
- Not a medication, a supplement or an injection. Nothing goes into the horse.
- Not a scan or an X-ray. The device does not image the horse.
- Not loud, hot or restrictive. No stocks, no sedation, no clipping.
The panel: screen, keypad, three brass cups
The equipment
BICOM optima mobile
Designed, developed and made in Germany. The mobile version of the device Regumed has built since the 1980s, packed to travel between yards.
Two matching aluminium cases on a folding trolley. The top case opens to the device: a pale control panel with a small screen, a keypad, and three brass cups on the right for the sample and the test ampoules. The lower case carries the test sets, the mat and the applicators. It runs from the mains, and the trolley folds flat for the boot of the car.

The question every good owner asks
Your vet stays in charge
A horse showing signs of colic at eleven at night needs a vet in the yard. Not a practitioner, not a device, and not this website.
That is not a disclaimer. It is how every serious practitioner in this field works. In the UK, the examination of an animal and decisions about its veterinary care belong to a veterinary surgeon under the Veterinary Surgeons Act 1966. A bioresonance practitioner works alongside that, with your vet's knowledge, and a good one will tell you when to stop the session and pick up the phone.
Many of the practitioners we train are vets themselves. The video below is one of them explaining, in his own words, where the method fits in his practice and where it does not.

In his own words
A vet explains
Brendan Clarke is a veterinary surgeon who has seen BICOM bioresonance in practice. Here he walks through the testing, what a session looks like from the practitioner's side, and how he talks to owners about it.
A better answer than any brochure, and worth watching before you ring anyone.
Where the evidence stands
What we will say, and what we will not
You are going to search for this after you leave the page, so here is what you will find, from us rather than from a forum.
Widely used
In Germany, bioresonance sits within the regulated field of complementary medicine, alongside homeopathy and acupuncture. Regumed reports more than 30,000 practitioners using the method worldwide, over 10,000 of them in Germany, and more than 1,000 veterinary users. It has been in veterinary use for decades and there is a substantial body of practitioner literature, including horse-specific material on our practitioner library.
Not recognised by conventional medicine
Conventional veterinary and human medicine do not accept the premise, and the method has not been the subject of the kind of controlled clinical trials that the UK advertising regulator requires before any medical claim can be made for it. We make no such claim on this page. We do not say it will change anything about your horse. We describe what a session is, who does it, and what it costs, and we leave the decision to you and your vet.
Breeding yards, competition yards, one horse on a drive. The session is the same.
Next step
Talk to us
Three ways in, depending on who you are. Fees are set by the individual practitioner; as a guide, sessions in Germany are priced around 120 euros, with testing from 80 to 250 euros depending on how much is tested. UK practitioners quote individually.
I own or ride horses
Tell us where the yard is and we will point you to a trained practitioner nearby, or a vet who uses the method. Ask them the questions on this page; a good one will welcome them.
