Do you believe in the power of light? đź”´ Your muscles might.
Here’s what the research actually says:
When red light therapy (photobiomodulation) is paired with resistance training, studies suggest people can achieve greater improvements in muscle size and strength than with training alone.
The key word is “paired”.
Red light therapy isn’t a shortcut. It’s a tool that may help you get more out of the work you’re already putting in, while also supporting recovery and reducing post-exercise soreness.
That’s exactly how we use it at Scottsdale Physical Therapy & Performance, powered by Restimulate Health: as part of an individualized rehabilitation and performance program, not as a magic bulb. 💪
