I am a professional juggler/entertainer and this means I use a lot of repetitive motions from juggling and spinning, loading and unloading equipment, and generally engaging in a lot of athleticism. Over the years this took its toll on my arms especially exacerbated by some inherited osteoarthritis.

In my 40s I really noticed it in my arms, between the wrists and elbows – a lot of repetitive motion strains that caused me severe musculoskeletal pain which I’d address by the usual over-the-counter pain meds, heat and icing therapy, and soaking. I’d go to a nail salon and they would think it unusual that I’d end up just wanting a 30 minute massage of my forearms. In my 50s more of the familial osteoarthritis flared up adding to the problem and generalizing the pain over my body – hips, arms, legs, etc.

A friend of mine who is really keen on electromagnetic therapies gifted me a magnetic pulsing unit. I was skeptical at first, but willing to try anything. The first night I used it for quite awhile, and the relief was immediate! I’ve had it for over a year now. It sits next to me on the bed and I use it every day (when it isn’t on loan to a friend) for 20-60 minutes at least.

Honestly, the magnetic pulsing unit has saved my life and is a permanent part of my life. I am so thankful for it.
