Pulse magnetotherapy – Biomag devices and applicators | Ludmila Formanová, European champion and world champion – 800m sprint
I have been involved in sports for most of my life. It is my hobby and my profession. I have competed in the Olympic Games twice, participated in four world championships, three European championships, several world and European championships in sports halls and hundreds of foreign and domestic sports events. I have spent long hours at the stadium over the course of nearly twenty years, running tens of thousands of kilometres. I must have lifted hundreds of weights, several tonnes I would say. Sports give me a lot – I can hardly find the words to describe the feeling of victory when you hear your national anthem on the winners’ podium. However, on the other hand, sports have taken a lot from me in terms of my health.

I have been involved in sports for most of my life. It is my hobby and my profession. I have competed in the Olympic Games twice, participated in four world championships, three European championships, several world and European championships in sports halls and hundreds of foreign and domestic sports events. I have spent long hours at the stadium over the course of nearly twenty years, running tens of thousands of kilometres. I must have lifted hundreds of weights, several tonnes I would say. Sports give me a lot – I can hardly find the words to describe the feeling of victory when you hear your national anthem on the winners’ podium. However, on the other hand, sports have taken a lot from me in terms of my health. Most top athletes would agree that sports at a top professional level mean a continuous balance between performance and injury. I know what I am talking about. I have had two operations, the direct result of extreme strain on the body. As time passes, I am finding out how important the regeneration phase is in the life of a professional athlete. A stay in a spa centre at the end of the season is very important and I have used it several times myself. However, for good performance, everyday regeneration is much more important: you need to get rid of the exhaustion and heal minor injuries so that your body is prepared for the next load. I live and train in a small town and the physiotherapy facilities here are rather limited. Unlike big centres, e.g. Prague, specialist medical and physiotherapeutic care is not very extensive either. Therefore, I am happy I can use Biomag® magnetotherapy. I had come across the method in spa centres before and of course the opportunity to have a magnetotherapeutic device of my own at home attracted me, especially because I believe in the positive effects of low-frequency pulse magnetic fields. At home, I use a Biomag® device with applicators. During sports events held away from home, I use a smaller, double-output Biomag® magnetotherapeutic device designed for travellers.
Normally, I use magnetotherapy for its myorelaxing effects because it helps me to relax my muscles after training. For this I use the pad components – the whole-bed physiotherapeutic applicator or the physiotherapeutic applicator designed for application on the back. I use the MEDICAL Programme and programmes that apply low frequencies intended for myorelaxation. Any time I have a pain or injury, I use solenoids on my extremities or an M1S pad applicator for local application (Programme: Regeneration). So far the best results I have seen have been with therapy applied to my ankle: it is a combination of chronic and acute problems, the surgery on my tendons and the acute pain after physical strain. In this case, I experienced a temporary worsening of the problem – the pain got worse during the first applications. However, the pain soon lessened and all the problems eased. I really appreciate the option to connect four applicators to my Biomag® device because I can use the whole-bed applicator for regeneration while applying two other local applicators to two other points - or you can simply combine various therapies this way. A Biomag® device is handy when you travel a lot. Over the course of the season I did not want to interrupt the magnetotherapy on my ankle so I took the device with a small pad applicator with me to Greece. Recently, I came back from a meet in Gran Canaria where I used my Biomag® magnetotherapeutic device all the time. All the members of my training group used it with successful results, applying it to various acute troublesome points, mostly muscle-related. The one with probably the most experience with magnetotherapy is my colleague Petra Lochmannova, currently one of the top Czech medium-distance runners. As regards my two magnetotherapeutic devices, besides the obvious therapeutic effects, I do appreciate the user-friendly controls, including the programmable memory, the design - which is nothing like a hospital instrument - and the modern look and materials used for the applicators. In my opinion, Biomag® portable pulse magnetotherapeutic devices are useful for individual therapy at home: you do not have to waste time sitting in waiting rooms, nor do you have to pay for expensive therapy in spa centres. In any case, I would recommend these devices to all professional and recreational athletes because – in combination with other courses of physiotherapy - a pulse magnetic field works well to prevent and treat sports-related ailments.
