WHAT IS RED LIGHT THERAPY?
This type of therapy is commonly referred to as photobiomodulation. Light energy interacts with cells and tissues and may influence biological processes associated with cellular activity, inflammation and tissue recovery.
This interaction can influence normal cellular processes involved in energy production and cellular activity.
The TheraLight 360 delivers red and near-infrared light across a large area of the body.
At A Step Above Wellness Centre®, it is used as a supportive modality within individualized care, rather than as a replacement for medical assessment, diagnosis or treatment.
Our approach begins with understanding your symptoms, health history and goals so we can determine whether light therapy is appropriate for you.
WHAT DOES RED LIGHT DO TO THE BODY?
Think of red and near-infrared light as light energy that your tissues can absorb.
When that light reaches the body, some of it is absorbed by cells and can influence how they produce and use energy.
This can help support the cells’ normal activity and the processes they use to respond to everyday stress and demand.
Different wavelengths reach different depths, which is why red and near-infrared light are often used together. You do not need to feel the light working for your cells to respond to it.
