Description

Welcome to the exciting world of Magnetic Field therapy!


Magnetotherapy has been known since ancient times. Already at that time, a healing power was attributed to naturally magnetic stones. Ancient Greek doctors used magnetized metal rings to relieve pain in the joints of the hands. More recently, during World War II, the Russians made extensive use of the pain-relieving effects of magnets, especially against the pain left by the phantom limb after amputation.


The use of magnetic fields has grown in recent decades and its scope is wide. Studies on this subject have shown efficacy on muscle and joint pain.


WHAT IS MAGNETOTHERAPY?


Magnetotherapy is a form of physiotherapy that uses electromagnetic energy, stimulating the regeneration of tissues. Magnetotherapy fits into the field of physiotherapy using low-frequency, low-intensity magnetic fields; uses an electrically induced magnetic field that travels through a coil (solenoid).


Magnetotherapy exerts an action that favors tissue repair processes and stimulates natural organic defenses.


From the biological effects, the therapeutic action of magnetic fields can be synthesized in two main therapeutic mechanisms:


1. Antiphlogistics and antioedemigenic


2. Stimulator of tissue repair processes


In this course you will learn


What are the indications and contra-indications of Magnetotherapy


What are the physiological and metabolic effects of the different techniques


What is a magnetic field, its importance in cell biology


What are the different types of magnetic fields and how is each used?


What elements are necessary or not to start practicing


How and what is each element used for


How to organize a Magnetotherapy protocol depending on the clinical case


How, when and at what frequency to apply magnets according to the pathology


Magnetotherapy will allow you (among others):


• Reduce pain in dogs


• Prevent joint degeneration


• Reduce convalescence time


• Improve the elasticity of muscles and other soft tissues (prevention of future injuries).


• Recover tissue functionality


• Improve post-surgical
