Magnet Therapy (Easy Qs / Celtic SMR)
Targeted Pain Relief & Tissue Support in Prestonpans, East Lothian
What Is Magnet Therapy?
Magnet therapy uses pulsed electromagnetic fields (PEMF) to support pain relief, reduce inflammation, and enhance tissue repair in soft tissues and joints. At our clinic, we use the Easy Qs system by Celtic SMR, a portable, advanced magnetotherapy device that delivers extremely low frequency (ELF) magnetic fields safely and comfortably. Celtic SMR+1
Magnetotherapy is non-invasive, painless, and can work in depth, influencing muscles, nerves, bones, and connective tissues without injections or medication. Celtic SMR
Why Choose Easy Qs Magnet Therapy?
Advanced Technology with Practical Precision
The Easy Qs device generates pulsed magnetic fields at extremely low frequency, which are able to:
- Penetrate deeply into tissues
- Influence cellular activity
- Support circulation and oxygen utilisation
- Reduce inflammatory responses
- Provide analgesic (pain-reducing) effects
All without discomfort or downtime. Asalaser
Its Flexa applicators are flexible and adaptable, making the treatment precise and effective for targeted areas like knees and joints. The magnetic field is kept constant and uniform, and can be delivered perpendicular to the area being treated for optimal effect. Asalaser
How Magnet Therapy Works
Magnetotherapy operates by applying ELF magnetic fields that interact with the body’s cells. These fields can:
- Influence ion movement across cell membranes
- Support ATP production (cellular energy)
- Help normalise tissue metabolism
- Encourage anti-inflammatory and healing responses
These effects make magnet therapy useful as a support tool for musculoskeletal conditions, particularly when pain, stiffness, or slow tissue recovery are present. Celtic SMR
Conditions We Commonly Treat with Magnet Therapy
Knee Pain & Knee Joint Support
Knee discomfort from osteoarthritis, overuse, and chronic inflammatory causes can be hard to manage with activity alone. Magnet therapy can help reduce baseline pain, support tissue calmness, and allow rehabilitation to progress more comfortably.
Combined with assessment, strength training, and gait analysis, it helps you stay active and progress with confidence.
Foot & Ankle Conditions
Used alongside other therapies for:
- Chronic tendon irritation
- Soft tissue pain
- Post-injury stiffness
- Joint discomfort
It can help your body tolerate movement and rehab exercises better.
Soft Tissue & Tendon Irritation
Magnet therapy’s pain modulation and anti-inflammatory effects can help conditions including:
- Tendon pain (Achilles, patellar, posterior tibial)
- Ligament tightness
- Muscle soreness
Sports & Overuse Injuries
For athletes and active individuals, it can be beneficial when:
- Pain slows down training progress
- Recovery feels sluggish
- Persistent niggles resist rest and basic treatment
By helping manage pain and inflammation, magnet therapy supports consistent training and injury progression.
Post-Injury & Chronic Conditions
Whether pain is recent or long-standing, magnet therapy can be part of a multimodal plan that includes:
- Assessment and gait analysis
- Strength and movement rehab
- Manual therapies
- Orthotic intervention where appropriate
It’s rarely a standalone fix — instead, it helps amplify recovery when paired with other evidence-based care.
What to Expect During a Magnet Therapy Session
- Painless and non-invasive — no needles or medication
- You’ll feel comfortable throughout the session
- Sessions are tailored to your specific condition
- Magnetotherapy is ideal alongside rehab exercises
- No downtime — normal activities continue immediately
Magnet therapy appointments typically involve applying the Easy Qs Flexa applicators to the area of concern and letting the device deliver the targeted magnetic fields while you relax.
Magnet Therapy: Part of a Larger Care Plan
At Adam Smith Podiatry & Sports Clinic, we use magnet therapy as one piece of a comprehensive, assessment-led plan that may also include:
- Biomechanical gait assessment
- Strength and movement testing
- Rehabilitation programmes
- Manual therapy
- Shockwave, acupuncture, laser as appropriate
- Orthotics prescription
This ensures you get data-driven treatment, not guesswork.
Common Questions About Magnet Therapy

Does it feel like anything?
Most patients report no sensation during treatment — only comfort and relaxation.
Is it a replacement for exercise and rehab?
