What is Infra-Red Light Therapy?

Infra-Red Light Therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, involves the use of specific wavelengths of light to penetrate deep into the body’s tissues. This non-invasive therapy stimulates cellular activity, enhancing the body’s natural healing processes and promoting recovery from a range of conditions.

How Does Infra-Red Light Therapy Work?

Infra-Red Light Therapy works by emitting wavelengths of light that are absorbed by the mitochondria in your cells — the powerhouse of the cell. This absorption boosts the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which enhances cellular metabolism and accelerates the repair and regeneration of damaged cells. The therapy is delivered through devices that emit light directly onto the targeted area of the body.

Infra-Red Light Therapy is effective in treating a variety of conditions, including:
