CLINICAL STUDIES INVOLVING MAGNETIC THERAPY

There have been many scientific studies looking at the use of static magnets, such as we use in our Woolrest BioMag underlays. The results of one of the most recent studies were published as recently as July this year, by medical researchers right here in Auckland, New Zealand.

They found that magnet therapy can help with rehabilitation of motor skills after a stroke.

And while you’ll never get every scientist in the world to agree on everything, there is plenty of evidence that magnetic therapy is beneficial. We’ve assembled a small sample here for you.

Low frequency magnetic fields for treatment of osteoarthritic knees
This study looked at static magnetic therapy for osteo-arthritis patients. It is a double-blind, randomized controlled trial – the subjects did not know whether the treatment they were being given was magnetic or not. This therefore excludes the possibility of the "placebo effect".
