Whole Body Red Light Therapy

THERALIGHT WHOLE BODY RED LIGHT THERAPY BED

Whole body red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation therapy (PBM), is a safe and relaxing treatment that has been shown to enhance the body’s natural processes for metabolizing free radicals and minimizing the damage they cause. This boost in the body’s natural healing cycle helps reduce inflammation and promotes healing of damaged tissue. PBM has also been shown to increase the rate and quality of tissue repair, improve muscle performance, enhance recovery, and reduce pain with no known negative side effect.

Whole Body Red Light Therapy

When cells age and become stressed, the mitochondria produce Nitric Oxide (NO) which outcompetes oxygen and blocks the receptor site that oxygen binds to during the respiratory process, the process of turning blood sugar into cellular energy. With a diet rich in antioxidants and rest, the body successfully manages excess Nitric Oxide. If the body is too stressed, it cannot remove Nitric Oxide at the rate it is produced. This buildup of NO causes ROS (reactive oxygen species) and is known as Oxidative Stress. Reactive oxygen species are toxic and begin the processes of inflammation, cell death and the expression of genes responsible for cancer, Alzheimer’s, osteoarthritis and other diseases.

RELIEF FROM JOINT PAIN AND STIFFNESS / TEMPORARY RELIEF FOR MINOR ARTHRITIS PAIN OR MUSCLE SPASMS / INCREASE BLOOD CIRCULATION / FASTER RATE OF RECOVERY POST-INJURY

FAQs

  • Photobiomodulation (PBM) Therapy is the application of Red and Near InfraRed lighten very specific colors, quantities, and at specific intervals to tissue that is sick, degenerating or has been injured.

    • The absorption of this light and has been clinically proven to:

      •  increase cellular energy production

      • increase circulation

      • reduce inflammation

      • support immune function

      • stimulate cellular repair

    • These cellular mechanisms result in

      • improved muscle performance

      • increased exercise times and capacity after exercise

      • reduced pain

      • improved joint motion

      • enhanced wound healing

      • a release of certain brain compounds that positively affect mood and sleep

      • and much more.

    Photobiomodulation is safe, relaxing, and has no known negative side effects.

  • The effects are photochemical, just like photosynthesis in plants. When the correct parameters are used, light reduces oxidative stress and increases cellular energy (ATP). This in turn improves cell metabolism and reduces inflammation.

    PBM Therapy appears too good to be true as it has many applications, but really it does just one thing and it does it very well. It reduces oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is essentially an imbalance between the production of free radicals and the ability of the body to counteract or detoxify their harmful effects through neutralization by antioxidants, is critical in helping the body recover. Oxidative stress is accepted as the underlying trigger for most diseases and degenerative conditions. It is also a component in the inflammatory phase of acute and chronic injuries. Extensive research during last two decades has revealed oxidative stress can lead to chronic inflammation, which in turn contributes to chronic diseases including cancer, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurological disorders and pulmonary diseases.

  • Photobiomodulation therapy has been effectively used as a non-medical intervention for reducing recovery time resulting inathletes:

    • runningfaster and longer with less fatigue

    • lifting heavier weights

    • achieving higher benchmarks sooner

    • recovering more quickly from injuries

    as a non-medical intervention formusculoskeletal conditions such as:

    • arthritis

    • muscle soreness

    • joint pain and stiffness

    as a non-medical intervention for inflammatory conditions such as:

    • fibromyalgia

    • chronic fatigue

    • rheumatoid arthritis

    • psoriatic arthritis

    as a non-medical intervention for other painful conditions such as:

    • neuropathy

    • shingles

    • poor circulation

    as a non-medical intervention for accelerating visceral fat loss

     

    Many therapies only address symptoms, without addressing the source. PBMT works at the cellular level, stimulating repair and normalizing cell function.

     

    Unlike drugs and surgery, PBM Therapy safely and effectively promotes cell regeneration reduces inflammation and pain

     

    PBM Therapy

    • is non-toxic

    • is non-invasive

    • has no side effects

  • PBM Therapy does not heat tissue, it does however increase circulation so a warming sensation is often experienced. Reported subjective feedback:

    • “Temporary euphoric feeling”

    • “Increased energy levels“

    • “Improved sleep patterns“

    • “Improved mood“

    • “Improved skin clarity and tone”

    • “Improved bowel function“

    • “Decreased swelling of extremities“

    • “Increased energy”

    • “Increased mental clarity”

    • “Increased general sense of well being”

    These outcomes may not apply to every person, and are not intended to guarantee, promise, represent and/or assure that anyone will achieve the same or similar results. Occasionally some clients may experience mild fatigue, discomfort, or aches after treatment. These responses should reduce after 24 – 48 hours, if they persist notify your technician at your next appointment.

  • 10 minute sessions 2-3 x per week.

  • Every person’s condition is unique, therefore there treatment course is as well. However there are some general rules of thumb that apply to PBM Therapy.

    • Acute injuries and inflammation from muscle strains and sprains, cuts, bruises, burns, etc typically show very rapid improvement and can resolve in 1-2 weeks.

    • Long-term, chronic conditions can take 2-3 weeks to get significant benefits, weeks to months for maximum benefits, then weekly or bi-weekly sessions may be necessary to maintain benefits.

  • No. The LEDs are cooled by a patent-pending cooling system to keep you comfortable.

  • To date there are over 550 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) and over 4000 laboratory studies have been published using PBM devices. PBM Therapy is used in thousands of clinics, 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. To review the published research, go to PubMed.gov and search by the terms Photobiomodulation, LLLT or Low Level Light Therapy.
