ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to the application of a moving magnetic field whereby a magnet moveable in a horizontal or vertical direction is placed proximate the user. The magnet is preferably contained within the interior cavity of a housing, the interior cavity being larger than the magnet, and the housing being positioned proximate to the user such that, as the magnet moves within the interior cavity of the housing, a moving magnetic field is generated which interacts with the surrounding tissue of the user. The housing may be attached to the user or to an object proximate to the user such that movements of the user or object cause the magnet within the interior cavity of the housing to move with respect to the user. Alternate embodiments include disposing the magnet on the end of a flexible handle or in an array.
