Light... as THERAPY?

YES, light as therapy!

Light is one of the oldest physical healing agents known to man. Its origin is traced to the Greeks whose physicians frequently prescribed a form of light treatment called heliotherapy.

• Laser Therapy promotes cellular activity, including but not limited to: enzyme and collagen production.
• Laser Therapy increases ATP production and mitochondrial activity <-- yeah, that means it helps you have more energy!
