Magnetic resonance therapy

Magnetic resonance therapy (MRT) is a way of helping our bodies heal by using magnets. You know how magnets stick together? Well, when we use magnets in MRT, they can help change the way our cells work and help our body feel better.

Our bodies are made up of lots of tiny cells that work together to keep us healthy. Sometimes these cells can get sick or hurt and that's when we might feel pain. When we use MRT, we are using special magnets to help our cells get better.

Now, you might be wondering how do these magnets work exactly? Well, when we have pain or an injury, our cells might not be working as well as they should be. If we put a special magnet next to those cells, it can help change the way they work. This change can help relieve our pain and help our cells heal faster.

The magnets used in MRT are really powerful, but don't worry, they don't hurt. They are usually placed on the skin over the affected area or close to it. Sometimes people will feel a gentle pulling or tingling sensation, but that's it.

MRT is a really cool way of helping our bodies heal without using any medicine. It's kind of like using a superhero power to help us feel better.
