Red light therapy (also called photobiomodulation) uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate the body's cells. The light penetrates the tissue and influences the cells' energy production (ATP), which can support the body's natural recovery processes.

Research-backed effects

Studies show that red light therapy can contribute to:

• reduced inflammation

• improved blood circulation

• relief from muscle and joint pain

• increased mobility for stiffness and osteoarthritis

• faster recovery after exertion

Red light therapy and sleep

Red light therapy affects the nervous system without disrupting the body's melatonin production. This makes the method suitable for use in the evening and before bedtime.

Potential effects:

• easier sleep onset

• reduced pain-related sleep disturbance

• increased physical relaxation

Light therapy pad for home use

A flexible light therapy pad makes it possible to apply the light directly to the body, for example to the back, neck, joints, or legs. Direct contact can increase efficiency by reducing light loss and providing even exposure.

Summary

Red light therapy is a non-invasive method with support in scientific research for pain relief, recovery, and improved sleep quality. Regular use can contribute to better function in muscles, joints, and the nervous system.
