Photobiomodulation(PBM) Therapy

PBM therapy also known as red light therapy or low level laser therapy (LLLT) is the therapeutic application of concentrated doses of red and near-infrared wavelengths of light to the body to stimulate healing.

These wavelengths are naturally found in early morning sunlight, however with most of us spending around 90% of our time indoors and no longer rising with the sun, we are lacking in these beneficial rays.

These photons of natural therapeutic light are able to penetrate through our skin, enter our cells and stimulate our mitochondria (cellular powerhouses) to generate more energy (ATP). Many chronic illnesses are triggered by a dysfunction of our mitochondria, therefore an increase in cellular energy provides many healing benefits.

What are the benefits of PBM therapy?

• Reducing inflammation and pain in arthritic conditions and post-injury
• Speeding up muscle recovery and reducing delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) post workout to support an enhancement in peak performance
• Stimulating collagen synthesis & skin elasticity and texture
• Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Speeding up wound healing
• Boosting testosterone levels in men and improving fertility by enhancing sperm motility
• Healing acne and blemishes
• Fading scars, pigmentation and stretchmarks
• Reducing autoimmune markers in Hashimoto’s thyroiditis & improving T3/T4 ratio

What does a PBM session involve?

Sessions in our PBM light pod involve 20 minutes of lying down, relaxing and exposing as much of your skin to the healing light as possible. There is only a mild warmth emitted from the pod, so no sweating or needing to shower after your session.
