what is Red Light Therapy?
Light therapy in its modern form has been in use for decades and is used by hospitals, clinics, professional athletes, sports institutions, and even NASA.
Red Light Therapy, also known as Photobiomodulation, traces back to heliotherapy, which is disease treatment by sunlight. Technology has come a long way as we capture the benefits of light while leaving the risks in the past. Over 4000 studies in over 40 years verify the clinical value and overall success of Photobiomodulation therapy, as well as the principles behind its success.
Whether using laser or LED emitters to deliver therapeutic light, effective treatment centers are built on a few key principles:
– Multiple, independently controlled light bands for various depth penetration
– Pulsing features for each light band
– Safe application & optimum dosage of light
– Multi-step treatment protocols for tailored treatments
Photobiomodulation is using FDA-cleared devices to provide specific powerful wavelengths of light that improve cellular function.
We have two different full body photobiomodulation LED devices that are available 24 hours a day to our members at Freedom Light Therapy. We also offer individualized treatment provided by our Physical Therapist who utilizes a Class IV photobiomodulation laser.
We have multiple wavelengths and thousands of choices of pulsing options. We have different power levels to suit those who need gentle assistance, and also for those who require a strong dose of therapeutic light. We recommend beginning at a lower dose until your body acclimates to this new therapy.
