"The Neos got me through winter training!" |
 |
|
“It was only more recently that I tried out the Neo magnets which I now want to rave about! I have just returned from 9 weeks of winter training in Spain – and it was the Neo's that got me through it! They were taped to my calf during and after training reducing the symptoms of cramp, tightness and painful twitching dramatically.
I decided to 'experiment' with the Neo's by taping them to my ‘quadriceps’ following a particularly demanding session. I also slept with them in place and was amazed at how 'fresh' my legs were for the next day’s training. I wish to promote these powerful magnetic products within my sport, and indeed other sports if possible. I am very positive about the season that lies ahead for me and would very much like Norstar’s amazing Magnetic Products to share in my success. They have certainly contributed to it!”

"As a Professional Athlete, the Magnessage has helped me enormously!" |

“I have always been an active person. As a youngster my passion was swimming, through my university years it was triathlon and since 2002 cycling has been my forte. I combined this with a teaching job from 2001 until 2005. It was during this period that I experienced a severe accident in the garden which resulted in me severing the popliteal vein in my left leg (this is the primary vein which runs the length of the leg, I lost it from the knee down).
The accident occurred in the middle of the racing season (July 2004) and inevitably ended any ambitions that I might have had for the year. However, with persistence, determination and a high-pain threshold I got myself back on a bike.
A former coach recommended magnet therapy in October of the same year since I was suffering badly with swelling and stiffness due to the restricted circulation; I therefore purchased a Norstar BioMagnetics ‘Magnessage’ while working with Rick at the Leisure Industry Show in Birmingham.
I do not need to stress how much this product helped me, the results the following year spoke for themselves. My first great achievement was a win in a National Series Road Race. This result along with 2 further podiums in national events led to me signing with a British squad which actively raced on the continent.
I continued to combine racing and teaching until the end of 2006. I decided to become a full-time athlete at this point; I wanted to focus solely on the bike. 2007 saw me resign with the same team and move out to live in Belgium for the duration of the season. I went from strength-to-strength and my decision to commit to the sport began to pay off. The later half of the season saw me achieve a string of top ten results in quality field on the continent.
The hard work well and truly paid off when I was approached by the top Belgian Women's Team ‘Lotto-Belisol’. I have signed a contract with this team for 2008.
My leg still causes me problems while training and racing, but thanks to Norstar’s Magnessage I can keep the symptoms under control and continue as most normal athletes.”
