Want to know the benefits of Combing Red Light Therapy and Whole Body Cryotherapy

We are excited to bring you the latest information on an innovative combination therapy that has been gaining popularity in the health and wellness world: Red Light Therapy and Whole Body Cryotherapy. In our latest blog we will explore the benefits of red light therapy and how it complements whole body cryotherapy for enhanced results.

Red Light Therapy: A Cellular Power Boost

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, harnesses the power of specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular activity. When exposed to these wavelengths, our cells absorb the light and convert it into energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This increase in ATP production enhances the overall functioning of the body.

The effects of red light therapy are manifold. Studies have shown that regular red light therapy sessions can aid in faster recovery from sports injuries or surgeries, reduce inflammation, improve circulation, optimise cellular processes, alleviate pain symptoms, stimulate hair growth, enhance fertility in men, and strengthen the skin. The therapy has been practiced since ancient times, with solar therapy being described in various ancient civilizations.

The Importance of Light for Health

Light plays a crucial role in maintaining our overall health and well-being. However, in today's predominantly indoor lifestyles, we often experience a deficiency in natural sunlight exposure, which can lead to various adverse effects such as depression, fatigue, poor sleep, and lethargy. Red light therapy specifically targets this deficiency by providing wavelengths of light between 630 and 850 nanometers (nm), which penetrate deep into the cells and optimise cellular functions.

By absorbing red and near-infrared light, cells undergo a process similar to photosynthesis in plants, converting the light energy into ATP. This process enhances cellular performance, stimulates collagen production, and increases oxygen levels in the cells.

The Synergy of Red Light Therapy and Cryotherapy

When combined with whole body cryotherapy, red light therapy sessions are further enhanced, leading to even more remarkable results. The exposure to red light prior to cryotherapy allows the light to be absorbed by the mitochondria and converted into ATP, effectively storing the warmth generated during the process. As a result, the cryotherapy session becomes more comfortable, and the thermal shock experienced is amplified.

Regular red light therapy sessions are recommended for optimal benefits, as the therapy works on a cellular level and requires consistency. While certain effects such as pain relief and improved skin quality may be noticeable after a few sessions, the full cellular benefits may take longer to manifest.

Experience the Power of Red Light Therapy and Cryotherapy

In conclusion, red light therapy offers a wide range of benefits by stimulating cellular activity and optimizing various bodily functions. When combined with whole body cryotherapy, these benefits are further potentiated, resulting in increased energy, better sleep, accelerated recovery, and enhanced skin quality.

We encourage you to explore the possibilities of red light therapy and cryotherapy, and experience the transformative power of these complementary treatments for yourself. Embrace the ancient wisdom of light therapy and the modern advancements in cryotherapy to unlock your full potential.
