Mag Boxes

[Giro 2,648]

Last topic went slightly off track....

 

However I think its a intresting topic for discussion...

 

How many people on here use one ??

 

Do you use them regular or just for injuries and recovery...

 

 

I am looking to buy a secound hand one, if anyone as one...

 

If not, I better save a few pennys...

 

If I dont find it much cop, there should be a good resale value..

 

I dont know much about them...

 

Had a look on here

i use mine daliy in the season 1 hour on level 2 then after a hard days running 5 hours on level 2 make sure they have water as the can get dyhdrated. going into the injury side of it. it can cut healing time down but theres all different levels and lengths of times for different injurys just depends what it is

You can also use it for toning the dogs too that is no6 it relaxers the dogs also I use mine for injuries and when the come from the treadmill I put them in on 5 for half hour but when he hey are injured I put it on 4 to recover for a hour glad I got mine they do work giro it defo cuts the healing time down and relaxes the dogs alot mine cue up to get in it lol

Alas if only, just imagine how much the NHS could save, all those post surgery patients, you could just see all the knee replacements laying in a bed with there legs in a mag box, just half a day faster recovery and it would save millions on knees alone let alone all the hips, abdos etc.

Most “alternative medicine works on the principle that stuff usually gets better by itself ie dogs recover from hard runs or cuts etc. So when they recover after being in a box the box gets the credit, simple really. Just look at homeopathy, copper bracelets or those e bits of rubber that people used to attach to the back of their cars, all just placebo.

Those that have them and post in their favour I won’t be able to change their minds

they will see what the believe and pooh pooh any evidence to the contrary no matter how strong. But I may save those who haven’t yet committed to belief in them a little money and persuade them to buy a simple cage for recovery or even ensure the dogs bed is in a quiet area where it can get undisturbed rest when required and allow nature to do its stuff..

My dogs enjoy getting on the sofa if not watched, do so of their own accord, must be the sofa effect .

Dogs like a secure bed, cage with a blanket over it will have the same effect, once the dog is used to it most will prefer that to an open bed. It doesn't relate to it having any special healing properties other than a secure relaxing area to recover.
