While it has been known for some time that certain wavelengths of light can have beneficial effects, more recent advances in research and LED technology has seen a major resurgence of interest in the therapeutic applications of several colours (wavelenghts) of light, including red, near infrared, and green light.
Research and clinical practice has shown many effects including:
Increased cellular energy production
Stress reduction
Reducing inflammation
Improved blood flow
Pain reduction
Improved exercise performance
Better recovery from exercise workouts
Recharge Remedial Therapy uses low level lasers and LED devices to apply red, near infrared, and green light to help reduce pain and improve function in musculoskeletal conditions such as knee, neck and back pain etc. as well as improve overall health and wellbeing.
Many ways of delivering light to the body have been developed including:
a.
Large full body panels
Pads with numerous embedded small LEDs
Handheld devices including Handy-Cure laser and Physiocare laser.
Torches with specific wavelengths of light for spot treatment or to activate acupuncture points.
Recharge remedial therapy has all of the above, and more.
Full body treatment with the panels pictured below provide many health benefits, including skin improvement, reduction of inflammation, improved cirdulation and more. Widely used by professional athletes, including the San Francisco 49ers NFL team that has a recovery room full of similar panels.
Light treatment can be used on its own or combined with one or more other treatments, including MPS (microcurrent point stimulation), cupping, massage or acupressure.
