Infrared light therapy is a non-invasive and drug-free method of delivering photoenergy to cells for therapeutic increases in circulation and pain relief. All human cells require blood-borne oxygen and nutrients to function properly. The energy from light promotes an increase in circulation to these cells to improve function. This enhances the body’s ability to heal itself.
How Infrared Light Therapy Works
When infrared light is applied to the skin through a specialised device, it produces a gentle warming effect deep within the soft tissues. This warmth stimulates blood vessels to expand, encouraging greater blood flow to the area. The improved circulation helps reduce discomfort and can support movement and flexibility, especially in areas that may feel tight or slow to recover after physical activity.
Many people describe the experience as relaxing and soothing. It is often used before or after stretching, gentle exercise, or long days on your feet.
Common Uses of Infrared Light Therapy
Infrared light therapy is suitable for a wide range of everyday needs. It is commonly used to:
- Increase circulation in the feet, legs, and hands
- Relieve acute and chronic pain
- Increasing circulation and relieving pain increases the range of motion.
Adjunctive use by healthcare professionals to promote recovery after injury. Because light-based therapy does not involve drugs or chemicals, there are no side effects or drug interactions. Of course, there are cautions with using light-based therapies as well, but there is a low risk of injury/ natural ways to feel better.
