Red Light Therapy Benefits
What is Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy, also known as low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation (PBM), involves exposing the body to low levels of red or near-infrared light. This light penetrates the skin and is absorbed by the cells, triggering various physiological responses as seen on the diagram to the left.
Performance
Red Light Therapy stimulates the mitochondria which in return produces ATP. ATP provides the fuel that each cell requires to carry out all its
cellular functions. This process stimulates cellular regeneration and healing capabilities that allows athletes to experience better endurance, improved muscle strength and stamina, speed, and the prevention of fatigue.
Recovery & Healing
Poor circulation and the lack of oxygen and ATP in blood vessels can cause pain and inflammation.
Red light will stimulate the release of nitric oxide, causing blood vessels to increase in size and allowing more blood flow while allowing more oxygen to be delivered to the cells. This increase in oxygen and nutrients, increases ATP production stimulating pain relieving effects and decreased inflammation. Recovery is VITAL for optimal performance!
