Magnetic bands

[mikee66]

Hi folks,

I was looking at one of these as I suffer from aches and pains in my knees (sports)

Does anyone have any experience/opinions of them?


Thanks

After much consideration - gimmick or placebo at best

Definitely the placebo effect if they do work for anyone. I got a bio flow sport twin and still no less pain in my lower back

my dad has a magnetic bracelet and reckons it helps with his arthritis, whether it is placebo or not I dont know.

Even if its a placebo and works for you I suppose its a positive rather than a negative

For me, I find compression clothing works to relieve some of the aches and pain's from sport.

If the wearer thinks they help then that is all that matters even if it is Placebo

Tried copper bangles, magnetic bracelets & Bio-Flow to no avail. None made any difference to my arthritis but perhaps I am too sceptical.

If the wearer believes in them then good luck, they aren't doing any harm.

Ok, against the flow.

It depends what your problem is, I'm guessing.

I had a loud click in my wrist, that used to happen at the top of my backswing once or twice every round. It used to put me off on my downswing and I'd really balls up my shot.

After trying a callaway magnetic wristband it disappeared. If it saves me 1-2 shots a round, it's well worth the £20. Just my story.

I also think I'm gorgeous.

I have to beat women off with a stick since I started wearing one.

years ago i was in an accident and in a lot of pain, my mother bought me a bangle thing and depending on what arm you wore it you turned it a certain way. i had a head injury and a constant headache for months. one day lying in bed (leg in plaster) i read the instructions. it said if you have pain anywhere on your body place the bangle there for 5 10 minutes and it will fix it. so i placed on my head 15 minutes later no headache.
take what you want from this but it worked for me.
all of the above is true

Nothing to do with you being sceptical

It's just total BS

it's all in the head! If you think it works, it will, but it WILL NOT solve the underlying problem! Like me wearing a glove to putt, I think it helps! It makes sod all difference, but in my head, it's the difference between a hole out and a complete miss!

You do not have enough iron in your body let alone blood stream for this bumf to work. Try slapping the area, it'll bring blood to it and relieve pain for a bit
