Debunking myths around magnetic therapy and blood flow.
One of the most widely repeated claims about magnetic therapy is simple: “Magnets increase blood flow.” It sounds intuitive. It sounds scientific. And it has been repeated for decades in marketing, media, and even some clinical discussions. But when you examine the research more closely, a different and far more nuanced picture emerges. Not only is the “increase blood flow” explanation...
Positive Study: Static Magnetic Field Therapy Effectively Relieves Neck and Back Pain
A recent study published in Complementary Medicine Research explored the efficacy of static magnetic field (SMF) therapy using neodymium magnets in alleviating pain and improving overall quality of life in patients with mechanical neck pain (MNP) and mechanical low back pain (MLBP). The paper discusses differences between the magnet devices used in the Collacott [REF] study. Published in JAMA in...
Supporting ACL Recovery in Athletes with Q Magnets: A Non-Surgical Perspective
ACL injuries are one of the most disruptive setbacks for athletes, often raising the question of whether surgery is necessary for full recovery. While reconstruction has long been the standard, growing interest in non-surgical ACL recovery has emerged particularly when structured rehabilitation is combined with supportive therapies. ACL injuries can significantly affect knee stability,...
How Static Magnetic Fields Are Shaping the Future of Organ Preservation
The medical world is no stranger to the potential of magnetic fields, particularly static magnetic fields (SMFs), which have been shown to positively impact human health and biological processes. A recent study published in Cell Reports Physical Science brings renewed attention to this underexplored area. The study, titled "Static Magnetic Field Increases the Antioxidant Stress Ability of Static...
From Magnetism to Movement: The Myokinetic Control Interface in Prosthetic Design
In many ways, magnetism is at the cutting edge of medical research, think MRI and TMS. While Elon Musk’s groundbreaking Neuralink, uses electronics to connect the brain-computer interface and bring new life to quadriplegics. Few people realise that static magnets are opening similar possibilities for amputees and the journey from magnetism to movement is taking shape with Myokinetic Control...
Unfair Irrational Stigmatization of Magnetic Field Therapy in Modern Media
Magnetic field therapy has a rich history, dating back centuries, and used for a variety of therapeutic purposes. First used by prominent scientists, like the physician to Queen Elizabeth I, William Gilbert and the famous 19th century physician Franz Mesmer, who popularised animal magnetism and mesmerism. Sure, there have been dodgy practices using static magnets, but nothing as serious as...
Optimizing Static Magnetic Fields for Therapeutic Use: Insights and Innovations
In the developing fields of biohacking and alternative therapies, the advantages of static magnetic fields are attracting greater attention. A recent article in Neuroscience News explores how Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can be optimized to treat depression, highlighting the broader possibilities of magnetic therapies. Drawing parallels from TMS, it’s obvious that static magnets can...
“Breakthrough in Fibromyalgia Treatment: How rTMS and Static Magnets Can Transform Lives”
A recent study published in Brain Sciences explored the impact of 20 sessions of low-frequency repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on patients with fibromyalgia, revealing significant improvements in cognitive and psychiatric functions compared to a sham treatment group. This finding highlights the potential benefits of noninvasive brain stimulation techniques, such as rTMS, in...
Aurora Australis and the Earth’s Magnetic Field
We live in the Earth’s magnetic field 24/7 and at times, its effects become visible. Migratory birds and turtles are known to use the Earth’s magnetic field to navigate long distances. But did you know the Aurora Australis, the southern lights and Aurora Borealis, the northern lights are a phenomena caused by the Earth’s magnetic field?Auror Australis. Fish Creek, Victoria.

Combining TENS and Q Magnets
TENS machines are thought to work by activating the fast-conducting myelinated nerves, such as A-Beta fibres and closing the Pain-Gate. Whereas Q magnets mainly inhibit the slow-conducting unmyelinated nerves, such as C-fibres. Combining the two modalities, can simultaneously target both the fast-conducting and slow-conducting nerves and improve the effects on some of the more complex painful...
Why magnet design matters? Learning from Cow Magnets
Magnetic materials are attracted to field gradients and NOT to a uniform or what physicists call a homogeneous field. This is well illustrated with the cow magnet. Cow magnets are used by cattle farmers to safely collect any metal objects such as nails or barbed wire their animal might ingest. Because the cow magnet produces a field gradient along the length of its shaft, metal objects will neatly stick to its sides. This is how it works…

How Rockefeller’s Flexner Report Suppressed Electric & Magnetic therapy
How the Rockefeller sponsored Flexner Report from 1910 affected medical training and the use of electric and magnetic fields.
The role of sympathetic nervous system in chronic pain and Q Magnet therapy application
The SNS can play a major role in sustaining chronic pain, particularly in the case of Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CPRS). Learn how Q Magnets can be applied for therapeutic effects on pain modulation and reducing sympathetic overload.
Dr Goiz Biomagnetic Pairing and Q Magnets
According to Dr Goiz, the biomagnetic pairing technique involves using pairs of bipolar magnets to balance pH, improve the immune system and overcome disease. Studies that show positive benefits for pain relief are achieved when multipolar magnets such as Q Magnets are specifically placed on areas such as trigger points and nerve connections.

What if your clinical trial reveals something opposite to that which you were expecting?
In a conversation with popular psychologist Jordan Peterson, he proposed that, “One of the hallmarks of the validity in science, if you discover something and you really wish it wasn’t true, then it probably is.” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tsuhfsfk6Kk&t=3075s How does this relate to magnetic field therapy? Well in 1997, there was a published randomised controlled clinical trial that...
Q Magnets Case Study Published in the Medical Acupuncture Journal
Medical acupuncturists are experts at identifying and accurately locating the morphological structures to be targeted. Quadrapolar, or Q Magnets produce an optimised field and provide the acupuncturist with an additional modality to target these structures that is safe, specific, simple to use and provides a 24/7 application option. A new study by a veteran acupuncturist shows the true...
