What is Infrared Light Therapy?

Infrared light therapy promotes healing at the cellular level by stimulating the body’s natural regenerative processes. When absorbed by the skin, infrared light penetrates deep into tissues, increasing blood flow and enhancing oxygen delivery to cells. This energy boosts cellular metabolism, accelerating the repair of damaged tissues and reducing inflammation. By encouraging the production of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy source for cells, infrared light therapy supports faster recovery, reduces pain, and promotes overall healing. Whether you're recovering from an injury, dealing with chronic pain, or simply seeking to improve your wellness, infrared therapy offers a non-invasive and effective way to support your body’s healing process at its core. 

What are the key benefits?
