How many times have you banged some part of your body and thought begrudgingly that tomorrow there would be a mark? And how many times have you looked at some part of your body and wondered where that bruise came from? I know that I have been in both those situations. Not anymore.

Nikken is a well-established company that has been helping the world with magnets since the mid seventies. They have introduced a new product that not only works wonders but it is also completely affordable. The Nikken Power Patch is a revolutionary product that has many applications. Many people know of the effects that magnets have on conditions such as peripheral neuropathy and muscle aches but I came across a new use. I had been using the Power Patches on my neck and shoulders and have friends who have had good results using them for headaches, so I knew they worked.

One afternoon I was sprinting across the garage and caught my leg on the handlebar of a bicycle. As soon as I did it, I had the thought “that’s going to leave a bruise”. Then I had another thought: Nikken Power Patch. I immediately went inside and stuck one right on the spot where my leg banged into the handlebar and left it there for the remainder of the day. The next morning I removed the Power Patch and guess what? No bruise. The area was not even tender to the touch. I was impressed. Now, anytime I bang an elbow or a shin, I head straight to my magnets. I have also had good luck in speeding the healing of small cuts and scratches with the Power Patches after the skin closed.

I’ll tell you another really cool thing about magnets. They work great for kids as well as adults. Anytime our kids fall down or get a bump, they ask for a magnet. And at $2 each, you can have some for the whole family.

Do you have trouble with places that are sore or tight in your shoulders and/or upper back?  In massage we call them knots or trigger points.  If you go to see a massage therapist about this it will probably hurt because we are taught to press on them and hold until the intensity decreases.  It is also hard on the therapist’s thumbs.  It is no fun for either the client or the therapist.

There is a better way.  Magnets do wonders for releasing trigger points and there are two magnetic tools that I use when dealing with them.

First are MagBoys.  These are small magnetic balls in a holder that I use to roll rapidly over the trigger point for a few minutes.  Unlike Trigger Point Therapy, it doesn’t hurt.  Actually, it feels really good and the trigger point melts away.

Second are Power Patches.  PowerPatches are small magnetic buttons stuck to a self-adhesive disk that can be placed directly over the trigger point.  It takes longer to relieve the trigger point, but if you put the patch on before going to bed then the discomfort will probably be gone by morning.

I love using magnets when doing massage and taking care of aches and pains.  I find that clients tense up if they feel pain, like in the usual way of dealing with muscle knots, so magnets work much better because there is no additional pain and they promote relaxation.
