Introduction to Phototonic Red Light Therapy
Phototonic Red Light therapy harnesses the healing power of red and infrared light at specific wavelengths and frequencies for accelerated healing by activating the pain and relaxing ‘medication’ of the animal’s own body.
LEDs, or light emitting diodes, are non-invasive, painless, produce a gentle and soothing warmth and do not require recovery time.
Phototonic Red Light Therapy allows increased blood flow into the area being treated to ensure that any waste is quickly removed from the area.
Application
The Red Light is simply placed gently on the area of the animal to be treated and a measured dose of light therapy is then applied to the required area.
This is applied with the Photizo handheld cold laser device.
Benefits
There are many benefits to Phototonic Red Light Therapy but in the context of a Massage Therapy treatment it will be used to release fascial tension (fascia responds to light, vibration & stretch).
