ABSTRACT:
A pad having a permanent magnet therein and a first fastener material on one side and a mating fastener material on the other side. A plurality of pads are fastened together along their perimeters forming any desired shape. The plurality of pads are placed adjacent a portion of the body creating a desired magnetic field for use in magnetic therapy. An elastic wrap or bandage is used to hold the plurality of attached pads in position adjacent to the body. The pad has a foam material on one side and a mesh material on the other. A VELCRO fastener material is preferably used for attaching the plurality of pads together. The modular pad makes easy placement of permanent magnets used in magnetic therapy without the need for a variety of special purpose pads shaped to fit the desired portion of the body. Magnetic therapy can therefore be practiced with greater flexibility and reduced cost.
