Magnet therapy

Magnet therapy affects tissues by means of a low-frequency magnetic field. The therapy has a pain-relieving, anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling effect, at the same time improving tissue blood supply and normalising metabolism. Due to its vasodilatory effect, magnet therapy is also suitable for patients with hypertension and elderly patients.

This is a medical procedure that can only be performed on the basis of a doctor’s referral (must be on paper).  

All appointments need to be pre-booked.

  • chronic muscle and joint conditions
