Magnetic therapy has been valued for centuries and is now making its way into modern wellness practices, including massage. I enjoy incorporating magnetic tools into my sessions as a gentle way to support energy balance, ease tension, and complement the hands-on work I provide.

​

A Brief History of Magnetic Therapy

Magnets have been used for healing since ancient times. The Chinese, Egyptians, and Greeks all experimented with natural magnets (lodestones) to support vitality and balance the body. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), magnets were believed to influence the flow of Qi—the life force that moves through the meridians, or energy channels, of the body. By supporting the free flow of Qi, magnets were thought to restore harmony and encourage natural healing.

​

Over time, magnetic therapy has continued to evolve. Today, we see it in many forms—stationary pads, bracelets, magnetic cups, and even advanced techniques that blend TCM with modern innovations.

How I Use Bio Magnetic Therapy as Energy Work

I like to think of magnets as a way to help the body to repair itself as well as “reset.” They interact with our natural bioelectric energy, encouraging balance and relaxation. When I combine magnets with massage, clients often feel a deeper sense of release—like their body is letting go of tension on both a muscular and energetic level.

Some of the benefits clients notice include:

• A soothing sense of calm and relaxation

• Support for circulation and natural energy flow

• Relief from minor aches, stiffness, and fatigue

• A balanced, grounded feeling after a session

 

Because TCM’s Five Element theory (Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water) emphasizes how everything in the body is interconnected, I sometimes use magnetic tools with this philosophy in mind to bring harmony back into balance.

Types of Bio Magnetic Therapy I May Use in a Session

When you come in for a massage, I may suggest adding one of these magnetic approaches to complement your session:

• Stationary Magnetic Pads – These can be placed under areas of the body during your massage to provide a constant, gentle magnetic field while I work. 

• Bio Magnetic Cupping – Using plastic cups with small magnets inside, this technique combines suction with magnetic stimulation. It can help with circulation, reduce muscle tension, and encourage energy flow along meridians. 

• Five Element Needle Magnetic Cupping – A more advanced method that blends TCM’s Five Element theory with magnetic cupping. Small magnetic “needles” inside the cups help stimulate energy points, supporting balance and overall well-being.

 

Precautions

Bio Magnetic therapy is gentle, but it’s important to be mindful:

• If you have a pacemaker, defibrillator, insulin pump, or any implanted medical device, magnetic therapy is not recommended.

• Pregnant clients should check with their healthcare provider first.

• I do not apply magnets directly to open wounds or irritated skin.

• Magnetic therapy is complementary and not meant to replace medical treatment.

 

For me, bio magnetic therapy is a way to bridge the wisdom of traditional healing with the comfort of modern massage. It’s a simple, supportive tool I can add into your session to help your body feel balanced, relaxed, and renewed.

If you are specifically seeking acupuncture as a primary treatment, I recommend searching for a licensed acupuncturist in your local area. Acupuncturists are trained to use needles and traditional fire cupping as part of their practice. I do not use acupuncture needles or fire cupping in my sessions. Instead, I focus on non-invasive methods such as massage, bio magnetic cupping, and other gentle energy-based techniques to support balance and well-being.
