Magnetic Neoprene Knee Support Traditional Chinese method of healing combined with high-quality bandages Magnetism is no esoteric magic but, like acupuncture, a very old & natural healing method. Bio-magnets do not heal in the usual sense as do medicines or conventional therapies for instance. These work on the body's self-regulating forces. Scientific studies with placebo magnets have shown that magnetic therapy works on many symptoms. These studies were carried out at such renowned establishments as The Massachussets Institute for Technology in Cambridge, the Technion-Israel-Institute in Haifa & by Dr. Kyoichi Nahagara of the Isuzu Hospital in Tokyo. The biological magnets in the bandage (each with a magnetic field strength of 600 Gauss) have a relieving effect on sprains, bruising, pulled ligaments & muscle tensions or cramps. Blood circulation & metabolism are stimulated. Since pain is often caused by muscle tensions, these bandages can be used in many cases because of their effect on the circulation. The magnets are guaranteed for 5 years. & thanks to Velcro fastening & the elasticity of the polychloroprene material, there is just one size to fit everyone. The knee bandage is with 6 bio magnets, each with 600 Gauss. They are securely sewn into the bandages where they will neither be felt nor wear out.
