The most common sports injuries range from bruising, sprains,
strains and abrasions to bone fractures. Descriptions of these problems include golf elbow, runners knee,
swimmers knee, slipped disc and tennis elbow. Causes include failure to warm up before exercise,
exercising beyond ones ability, weakness and overuse. Many soft tissue injuries happen at the beginning
of the season. Symptoms are difficult to miss. Intense localized pain.
 Bruising results in underlying bleeding in soft tissue.
Symptoms are pain, swelling and discoloration.

Conventional treatment may start with RICE.

Which is rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Resting for one day. Ice applied
to the area three times a day. Compression is applied using an elastic bandage. In the case of a sprained ankle
elevation can be achieved by resting it on a stool. Followed by oral anti-inflammatory
preparations.

The alternative treatment
using
Magnetic
Therapy
.

I normally use the range of Flexible Magnetic Supports. The support I use most for
knee problems such as bursitis is the 

Flexible Knee Support
 (Heavy Duty); I find that it
stays in place during activity. I always have on hand a
 

Pain Relief Ankle Support
 (Firm Support). I have used it
in conjunction with elastic bandage for compression on a sprained ankle. For those awkward spots Place North
Pole of a "

D-Max Neodymium Magnet
" magnet directly to the affected area until acute stage of
pain and inflammation is reduced. The North Pole of a small magnet can be worn for one week. Place the
South Pole of a magnet to strengthen the area for one hour daily. South Pole magnetised oil can be
massaged into the painful area.
