The #BASICS
But how does it all work? Simply put, light therapy provides energy to your horse’s cells. The combination of #redlight and #infraredlight is crucial. Red light works more on the surface, while infrared light penetrates deeper into the tissue, reaching the muscles and connective tissue. There it meets the “powerhouses” of the cells – the mitochondria. They absorb the light and produce more energy as a result. This has several effects: metabolism is boosted, blood circulation improves, and tension can be released. At the same time, inflammatory substances are broken down faster, which can relieve inflammation.
The #BENEFITS
- Muscle soreness and tension: The warmth and improved blood flow help relax tense muscles and prevent muscle soreness.
- Joint problems (arthritis/sidebone): Red light dilates the blood vessels and can relieve chronic joint pain.
- Tendon and ligament injuries: Infrared light also reaches deeper tissue layers and supports the healing of tendons and ligaments.
- Inflammation: The treatment relieves pain and has anti-inflammatory effects.
- Immune system: Regular use can strengthen the immune system and even promote greater balance.
Overall, light therapy from Horseware Ireland supports cell regeneration, relieves pain, and promotes the healing process. It contributes not only to your horse’s physical well-being but also to its relaxation. LED light therapy is versatile and easy to use.
