PHOTOBIOMODULATION

Photobiomodulation therapy, also known as Red Light Therapy is the use of clinically-determined wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate, heal, increase circulation, regenerate damaged tissue and the synthesis of cellular energy.

HOW IT WORKS

Red light therapy is used to treat injuries, reduce pain, relax muscles/joints, and increase blood circulation. It is also used by athletes to improve performance and reduce injuries. It is a highly effective non-invasive treatment with no known side effects used by experts in the medical world. 

The key to achieving results with red light therapy is accurate dosage, this is a combination of wavelength and exposure time. Different wavelengths are more readily absorbed by different tissues in the body, so it’s important to select the wavelength that is appropriate for an individual’s concerns and goals. 

When the correct dosage is achieved, photobiomodulation therapy has a positive impact on a person’s overall health and wellness.

  • What scientific evidence is there for the Light Pod?

    To date, there are 550 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and over 4000 laboratory studies that have been published using PBM devices. PBM therapy is used in thousands of clinicd, hospitals and elite sports institutions in over 70 nations. There are approximately 40 new papers per month being published. The primary evidence is in musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction, however a wide variety of conditions are being studied as well.
