Wave Goodbye to Aches & Pains with Magnetic Therapy from Lifes2good

Virginia Wade OBE and Wimbledon Champion remains as active as ever playing and promoting tennis in many celebrity and fund raising events so is bound to have experienced the occasional injury and suffer the odd ache and pain now.

Virginia has recently discovered Lifes2good Magnetic Therapy. “I can’t believe how effective and good-looking the magnetic bracelet is. It is great to be able to wear an attractive piece of jewellery that is working therapeutically too.”

Middle age no longer means middle-aged-spread and resigning to the armchair! Middle aged people nowadays remain as active as ever if not more so, with more available spare time. Unfortunately keeping active doesn’t necessarily mean remaining pain free as inevitably joints succumb to wear and tear. One easy, comfortable and drug-free way to keep joint and muscle aches and pains at bay is Magnetic Therapy.

Practised for centuries in the East, Magnetic Therapy is an alternative way to relieve pain and enhance the body’s natural healing process. Only recently has it gained recognition in the West, primarily due to consumer testimonials, including those from golfing and other sporting professionals. The theory behind Magnetic Therapy is that it works by balancing the body’s own electromagnetic field, improving blood flow and oxygen exchange.

Researchers at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston recently found, in a controlled study, that 76% of patients treated with magnets experienced pain relief. And a study published in the British Medical Journal concluded that “Pain from osteoarthritis of the hip and knee decreases when wearing magnetic bracelets.”

What is Magnetic Therapy?

Drug-free and non-invasive, Magnetic Therapy uses magnetic fields in the human body to temporarily relieve pain and stiffness. It is believed that magnetic fields applied to an injured area improve blood flow and oxygen exchange, and thus enhance the body’s natural healing process. Magnetic Therapy allows the body’s own natural healing capabilities to relieve the pain, and has been used successfully to reduce or alleviate pain from sprains, bruises, strains, swelling, lower back pain and inflammation of the joints nerves and tendons.

Who uses Magnetic Therapy?

Many professional sportsmen and women use Magnetic Therapy to help them to remain flexible and prevent pain from often over-used joints and muscles. But you don’t have to be a professional – whether you play sports, do gardening, exercise or even just walk the dog, you'll be amazed at how Magnetic Therapy can ease aches and pains and keep you active.

As well as Virginia Wade, Professional golfer and Ryder Cup hero Christy O’Connor Jnr remains active by both playing and designing golf courses. He says, “I use Lifes2good Magnetic Therapy on my elbows when I am practising on the senior’s tour, almost every player uses therapeutic magnets. I would strongly recommend them to anybody involved in sport who is experiencing stiffness, muscle or joint pain.”
