What is Photobiomodulation?
Photobiomodulation (PBM) also known as low level laser therapy or cold laser involves the use of light to promote tissue healing, reduce pain, inflammation and precondition for oxidative stress in the sports environment. This painless and non-invasive therapy works at a cellular level to relieve pain. Cells communicate with each other using light. When cells are injured and diseased, the type of light emitted is altered. Laser therapy uses a 'healthy' light wave length to re-program injured or diseased cells and precondition for prevention of fatigue related injuries. This results in repairing the damaged cells to help fast-track recovery and optimise performance.
