Therion magnetic orthopedic supports are available in two different energy levels. Each level is recommended for a specific range of conditions. The basic premise is that stronger magnetic fields can penetrate deeper, and are more effective and faster-acting for relieving discomfort.
Therion Sport - Although named "Sport", these supports are designed for any level of activity. Therion Sport is recommended for: soft tissue injuries (muscle strains, sprains, tendonitis, etc.), moderate pain and swelling, and mild to moderate chronic joint conditions involving the wrists, knees, ankles or shoulders.
Therion Platinum - Platinum supports are suggested for moderate to more severe chronic joint conditions, and soft tissue injuries involving significant pain and swelling. They are also recommended for injuries that may extend deeper below the skin surface.
