What is Red Light Therapy and why use it in massage?
Did you know . . . We offer red light therapy as a complimentary service with your massage treatment.
Red light feels amazing on tight, sore, muscles and areas of inflammation. It is powerfully anti-pain and anti-inflammatory! Yet there are even more powerful reasons to try red light therapy.
According to the Cleveland Clinic, red light therapy is an effective treatment for some common skin conditions, including:
Improve wound healing
Reduce stretch marks
Reduce wrinkles, fine lines and age spots
Improve facial texture
Improve psoriasis, rosacea and eczema
Improve scars
Improve sun-damaged skin
Improve hair growth in people with androgenic alopecia
Red light is thought to exert a biochemical effect that strengthens the mitochondria. The mitochondria are the powerhouses of our cells - where the cell's (and our body’s!) energy is created. The cells in the most important parts of our bodies – our brains and our hearts – have the most mitochondria. These vital mitochondria decrease with age and illness. Strengthening your mitochondria = a healthier, happier, more youthful you!
