Healing in Real Time: A Hockey Ball Strike and the Power of Early Magnet Use

A common application of Q magnets is relief from pain, but some of the more dramatic effects are with soft tissue injuries.

Soft tissue injuries like bruising, sprains and strains are part of life—whether from sport, surgery, or unexpected knocks. But what happens when you intervene immediately with Q Magnets?

🏑 Case 1: Hockey Ball to the Thigh

In this case, a direct strike from a hockey ball caused a painful, deeply bruised impact injury to the leg. Fortunately, this user knew what to do…

Being a substantial impact, they applied the largest Q magnet, the OF50-3 directly over the area, held in place with sports tape. Image credit: Physiotherapy practice Kr8.

The Healing Timeline

Images 1–4 were taken just 24 hours after the injury.
Image 5 shows the same site after 3 days.

You can clearly see:

The initial swelling contained
Rapid bruising resolution
Reduction in pain and restoration of movement far faster than expected

It’s worth noting the circular imprint visible in the early photos—showing exactly where the magnet was applied. The white spot indicates the site of the hockey ball impact. The results are not just visible, they’re measurable.

When Should You Use Q Magnets?

Right away.

Early application during the acute phase of injury supports the body’s natural healing process—without drugs or invasive interventions.

If you already own Q Magnets, keep them close at hand, on the ready. And remember to use them at the first sign of injury, not just when pain becomes chronic.

Below is champion Australian Rules footballer, Simon Black discussing his experiences with Q magnets. Simon would use them immediately after any on-field injury and it was the team sports doctor who told us the use of Q magnets extended his playing career by a year or two.

🦷 Case 2: A Remarkable Post-Surgery Recovery

Recovering from surgery doesn’t have to mean days of swelling, painkillers, and downtime.

Lana has been a huge fan of Q magnets and made sure her magnets were handy prior to undergoing major dental surgery, involving three implants and a sinus lift — a procedure known to cause significant facial swelling and pain.

But what happened next surprised everyone involved, including her surgeon.

💬 In Her Own Words:

“Immediately after surgery, I placed two Q Magnets (OF50-3) on the surgical site and kept them there for 24 hours, only removing them briefly to apply an ice pack as advised.

To my surprise, I needed no painkillers at all. There was minimal discomfort and almost no swelling — not even on Day 3, when it’s supposed to peak.

My only challenge was figuring out how to hold the magnets in place!”

🖼️ The Visual Proof

Day 1 – Magnets applied immediately post-op
Day 2 – Almost no visible swelling
Day 3 – Full mobility and calm skin tone

Don’t Wait Until Pain Becomes a Problem

These two cases show what’s possible when Q Magnets are applied during the critical early phase of inflammation.

Whether you’re recovering from surgery, nursing an injury, or managing a flare-up — Q Magnets can help calm the system, ease the pain and speed up recovery.
