I am a therapist and I was very doubtful that magnets would do enough to be worth the expense. My scientific back ground made me aware that magnets do one thing they effect the speed and alignment of electrons.
The problem that therapists have is that tissue becomes swollen and resistant to movement and proper chemical response.
Proper placement of magnets of sufficient strength can speed up the electrons in the water molecules so that the water in the tissue can move more freely and interact chemically as it should.
I personally use a 3 inch by 1/4 inch neodymium magnet over the area of my generative vertebra where the scoliosis started.
When I was 55 I made a career change to become a massage therapist because I could no longer move the garbage cans. Now at 70 with 15 years of working with a chiropractor and applying the therapy I learned to my self and with the magnets to support the chemistry at my spine I am able to work harder than I could at 40 and my spine is straight.

I have no degrees. Only some collage level science and massage and X-ray certificate study. Based on my massage training and research Ligaments are strengthened by the body's reaction to functional stress. Because of the density of ligaments the fluid flow that brings the nutrients in for repair and rebuilding is very slow. Magnets making the water to be in a smaller more active molecular state can possibly speed up the process.

i tried a magnet mattress when i was so sick with Lyme diseae...did NOTHING for me in any way whatsoever...i actually gave it away for free to someone who could pick it up and carry the parts out...after i paid $800 for them!
my personal opinion...and i have 3 graduate degrees...though none in medicine...
is that the power of suggestion is very very strong!
i do have 42 thoracic degrees and 61 lumbar degrees!
i wonder who has SCIENTIFIC proof they can put up against a rigorous test to duplicate the effects for others...??!!
magnets: no basis in science/dangerous in pacemaker patients
You are advertising and this is not allowed.
I once fell for this scam; I bought a magnetic mat for pain to sleep on. I stupidly trusted the person, who was a doctor trying to make extra money, and it was useless.
Such magnets should not be near pacemaker patients because they can inactivate the pacing mechanism in the pacemaker.
I also bought magnetic soles for my mom's arthritis and it did not work.
Shame on you!!!!

A zombie is a creature that appears in books, films, scoliosis forums and popular culture. It is typically a reanimated corpse, or a human being who is being controlled by someone else by use of magic.
Instead of magic, it was heavy medication.....lol
I have worked around extremely powerful electromagnets used for workholding in surface grinders. My hands have been in the strong magnetic zones quite a few times, and have felt nothing. I still wouldn’t dismiss magnetism and its effects, we just don’t know enough about it, after all, we are just bunnies trying to cope.

Magnet mattress? Hmmm...Sounds like a great way to keep somebody in bed. Just put the chain mail on first! LOL
Did it come with a warning about your dental fillings possibly coming loose?

Hey, hey, hey, behave. Poor Jess had only half the equation.
They do have ladies chain mail, I try to think about that often....lol
I do work with metals everyday, so I’m excused.
