Magnet therapy is used as not only an alternative to acupuncture needles, but also for musculoskeletal issues like relief from pain and other symptoms. It is a useful tool to allow therapists to extend treatments and allow clients to self treat with magnets to areas to provide ongoing treatment in between clinical appointments. They are also highly useful for needle phobic clients or the very young to receive an ‘acupuncture’ treatment.
The Magnet Therapy Course covers many variations and different types of treatments, as well as specific protocols for certain issues. We will cover specific areas and general acupuncture applications, as well as musculoskeletal applications.
The course consists of theory and practical hands on application using the equipment provided on the day.

We cover the issues magnet treatments can cover and the use of the North and South polarities, and also have discussions on standard high strength physical magnets and electrical magnets and their application.
Various maps and acupuncture point protocols are given for magnet placement and treatment of a variety of issues, and we give specific clinically tested protocols from Japanese magnet therapy clinics.
Assessment is by observation of students performing the therapy during the practical sessions to establish safe practice. Each student must be observed practising correct, safe, protocol in order to be deemed safe to practice and gain a full certificate. (equates to 6 hours CPD).
Optional Diploma Available (equates to 26 hours CPD).
