TheraLight Now Offered at Equinox!

Contact your local Equinox center to learn more about how the TheraLight full body photobiomodulation system can improve the quality of your life.

WHAT IS PBMT?

 

Photobiomodulation, PBMT, also known as Red Light Therapy is flipping the teeter totter of inflammation in your body. When we build up too much stress within our body and don’t neutralize it with antioxidants, it starts to snowball. This snowball causes more free radicals and lowers the energy, or ATP, our body has to function. PBMT flips that. It starts to lower the free radicals your body has and increase the ATP production so that your body can start to function the way it was originally designed to. 

IS PBMT SAFE?

 

Absolutely. Photobiomodulation is safe, nontoxic, and has no known negative side effects.

Occasionally, however, there are instances where the client might have an increase in fatigue, pain, nausea, vomiting, or digestive challenges, shortly after beginning therapy.  
 
This is referred to as a "healing crisis" or a Herxheimer’s response. Photobiomodulation has been well-documented to support immune system response. As a result, if the client has any pathogens, this can cause a significant and rapid die off of those pathogens. As they die, they release endotoxins which cars for trigger fatigue and flu-like symptoms. This is typically very temporary and can be managed by reducing the time by 50% and increasing it by 1 to 2 minute increments with each session, until they are at full therapy time. Alternatively, they can continue at normal dosing and support the flu-like symptoms with rest and lots of fluids.

DO I NEED GOOGLES?

 
No. TheraLight has been independently tested for eye safety. That document is available upon request.  
 
There is significant research supporting the improved health of the eye after photobiomodulation therapy at similar parameters.   These include improved visual acuity up to 4 lines on the Snellen chart in conditions such as Age Related Macular Degeneration, retinal diseases, and inflammatory eye conditions.  

HOW LONG ARE TREATMENT TIMES?

 

TheraLight is clinically therapeutic at 8 minutes. However, at 12-15 minutes there has been a consistently reported positive parasympathetic nervous system response, reducing flight or fight response and stress.  

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I DO IT?

 

TheraLight can be used up 3 to 6 times per week, until the specific wellness or health goal is met; then the interval can be reduced to 3 times a week for 2 to 3 weeks, and ultimately to 2 times a week for maintenance. If ever the benefits recede at those lower intervals, it is recommended to return back to the higher intervals for a period of 4 to 6 weeks, before attempting to reduce again.

How do I Choose the Settings?

 

Pulsing, measured in Hz., is simply the rhythmic interruption of light source and is superior to continuous in that it disassociates the molecule that blocks the oxygen receptor site with each individual pulse. Housing does not reduce the power being delivered, and has been identified to increase depth of penetration, and improve outcomes as the dark space gives the cells time to absorb the light before the next burst of light is delivered.
 
There are no wrong pulse settings. However, there is a school of thought that particular settings resonate with different tissue types, therefore may improve outcomes. 
 
The tablet is programmed with the most common recommendations for general wellness. The client can choose any pulse rate based on the desired outcomes, and can change them whenever desired.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO USE THE DEVICE?

 

Again, there is no wrong choice; however, in athletics, it is recommended that the client use TheraLight no sooner than 3 to 6 hours prior to an event, because of the parasympathetic response. Anecdotal feedback is that they are simply too relaxed to perform well.
 
As photobiomodulation increases cellular energy production, often times people report they need to use TheraLight earlier in the day, because if they use it later in the day, they report feeling “too alert” and not “ready to sleep.“

NFL linebacker, Jaylon Smith, uses TheraLight red light therapy after practice and after games to help speed up his body’s recovery process. He also loves RLT because it helps him sleep better, improves his mood, and overall improves how he feels in his daily life.

Watch the video to see how the TheraLight FIT helps professional boxer, Jake Paul, recover so he can perform his best in the ring. Jake Paul has incorporated the TheraLight as part of his daily regime and says he now cannot train without it.

Watch the video to see how the TheraLight 360 helps the Clemson University Football team increase performance, enhance recovery, and relieve pain and inflammation. The Clemson Tigers are currently the #1 Ranked College Football Team and were 2018 College Football Champions.

Valerie Krossin, VP of Sales at TheraLight, teams up with Dr. Marjanovic on the Tomo Talks podcast to discuss the wonders of pain management through red light therapy. Photobiomodulation therapy (PBMT) is a light therapy that promotes tissue repair (skin wounds, muscles, tendons, bones, nerves), reduces inflammation or reduces pain.

Treat yourself to all-over glowing skin with full body red light therapy. Incorporating red light therapy into your skincare routine helps reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and acne and heal wounds while reducing the appearance of scar tissue and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Not to mention additional benefits like improved mental clarity and mood!

What Patients are Saying

"It is hard to pinpoint the exact benefits that I am experiencing the most. I generally feel better all the way around!"

Leanne C., 34

"We had a 52 year old woman with disturbed sleep. She was sleeping only about 3 hours per night as she would wake up frequently throughout the night. We started her at 40 Hz and did that for 4 sessions. After these 4 sessions, she was sleeping 7-8 hours per night, only waking up once during the night (at 1:30 am). I know that's the time for gallbladder and liver so now I would like to concentrate on the organ so she will stop waking up at 1.30 am.

Olga Winkler, Lichttherapie Salzburg

"10 out of 10. I really enjoyed my TheraLight experience. I was consistently using 528
Hz. My overall energy levels, sleep, recovery, and performance improved significantly."

Meagan W., 27

"The fatigue I have felt for 6 long years was gone on the 4th day I awoke. I usually need many cups of coffee to keep going so I don't crash at 2-3pm. To my amazement
I've been free of fatigue that has chronically affected my productivity. I feel like I am 25 years old again. My energy is endless all day with no stimulus needed to keep me going. My sleep is amazing and I wake at same time every morning now with no alarm. Truly amazing! The TheraLight 360 has been the best decision I've ever made! l'm so grateful for this technology and to those who continue to research the benefits light has on our cells."

Sheila S., 45

"Love the immediate affects and the session itself is mind altering. Meditative state of mind occurs quickly."

Terryn S., 25

"I have had bad anxiety as I get older and this has helped me to cut down those bad depression days. I feel as though this helps me sharpen my mind and body and allows me to have more control over my emotions."

Seth S., 25

"Although my energy has been high before, it was even higher using the TL360. My sleep was also better. Overall, I found the TL360 to be slightly better and more effective than the old red light bed here before. As far as design and convenience, it was far superior. It was more comfortable and was much longer, which is needed for a tall guy like me. It was cool too and not hot; and less time in the bed."

JT M., 47

"Previously I felt as if I needed to nap all the time. I would feel like I needed a nap even driving to work.
Energy levels have improved a lot since then. Less panic attacks.”

Brenna Y., 37

"10/10. Has improved my groin 98 percent. Firm believer in the TheraLight 360."

Gerson M., 28

"I loved the experience. The treatment was short and comfortable. It increased range of motion, pain scale decreased from 6 to 3 with motion. I can take the stairs now without hesitation or pain. Also decreased inflammation in hands and finger."

Angela B., 57

"Zero pain in the mornings upon waking. No need for medications to start his day. Will recheck testosterone levels in 4 more weeks to see if those levels have improved. The bed does things for me and now I can't live without."

Anonymous, 46

"I would recommend TheraLight for pain management and improvement for sure."

Meghan W., 27

"Everybody is loving the Theralight
I can't get over how many amazing testimonials I have from all my clients."

I came in with low expectations honestly and I am very pleased with the results. So much so that I plan to continue in order to keep the results.”

Tina C., 44

"The most noticeable change is that my energy levels have increased. This also has helped improve my overall mood. My experience was great, I'd like to continue doing them regularly and see if I can achieve more results."

Linden W., 25

"I was in a car accident when I was 18 and had multiple skull fractures. I was in a coma and have suffered severe memory loss and have trouble retaining new information. I also have lots of food allergies and as a result have had an overgrowth of yeast bacteria in my gut that has caused a number of problems with my digestion. Using the bed, my skin has much improved that I have had no heat rashes and no psoriasis since. I love the TheraLight!"

Johnna M., 38

"I found the bed super relaxing and liked that it doesn't get hot."

Mallory M., 30

"The bed frequently helped with my muscle fatigue and soreness. Quicker recovery allows me to train more and harder."

Mike O., 58

"The bed helps me in my marathon training, both performance and recovery."

Maggie R., 60

"I have enjoyed using the TL360 as it is quick and does not get hot. My performance has gotten a little better since using it."

Robyn Z., 47

"I would say my recall has improved and my thinking and response time is sharper. I'm feeling slightly more energetic since starting TheraLight. My varicose vein has subsided due to clotting. It was at first painful but is now normalizing. Good experience. Definitely has had a positive impact."

Robin S., 43

"I'm very happy with the results on my facial skin, particularly the wrinkles around my eyes. Also, the reduction of the minor aches and pains. I find the actual experience itself to be very relaxing, easy, and convenient."

Catherine B., 45

"We had a 14 year old patient with severe hay fever, so much so that she was on strong medication during the day and took cortisone at night. We did 8 TheraLight sessions at 528 Hz and she is now without any medication. She still has the allergies but can manage it on her own."
