Abstract: Apparatus for applying magnetic flux to tissue utilizing strip-shaped flexible polymeric permanent magnets. The magnets are reinforced with an adhesively applied tape and removably inserted into retainer pockets or channels formed within a support structure. In one embodiment, the support structure is formed of two flexible mat components which are sewn together to form the retention pockets. A wrist rest embodiment utilizes a thin flexible platform to support the magnetic components within retention channels in combination with a foamaceous support structure.
