What is Red Light Therapy?
Photonic Therapy, commonly known as Red Light Therapy, is a safe, natural, non-invasive way to promote healing and control pain. It is completely harmless and can NOT burn like some lasers so it it safe for anyone to use.
Red light occupies the ‘long end’ of the visible spectrum with wavelengths ranging between 630nm to 700nm.
Near Infrared Light (NIR) then occupies the next part of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths ranging from 700nm to 1000nm.
It is the application of specific wavelengths in the Red range to stimulate the desired healing response.
It relaxes muscles and fascia, stimulates acupoints, accelerates the healing process and provides pain relief without harmful drugs. Studies have shown Red Light Therapy increases the rate of healing by 60-80%. It is also extremely beneficial when used in conjunction with Bowen Therapy.
Conditions which respond well to Photonic Therapy include:
- Fractures
- Soft Tissue injuries such as muscle tears
- Strained/Sprained Tendons and Ligaments
- Anxiety or Nervousness
- Arthritis
- Coughs/Cold
- Diarrhoea or Scouring
- Exercise induced pulmonary bleeding
- Eye Disorders
- Laminitis
- Navicular Disease
- Stomach Ulcers
- Tying UP
- Urinary Problems
- Windsucking or Crib Biting
- Wound healing and scars
Photonic Therapy can also be used to maximise performance, aid stress recovery, stop pulmonary bleeding, increase fertility, induce labour, increase lactation, reduce lactation at weaning, treat neo natal constipation in foals and so much more.
