The gym is your arena, but the muscles sometimes feel stiff after a really hard session, don't they? Here's the cool thing – red light therapy can actually help you recover faster after exercise!
What is actually happening?
When you exercise, the muscle fibers are broken down, and then the body has to rebuild them (that's how you get stronger). Red light therapy speeds up that process by increasing blood circulation and delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the muscles. It allows you to avoid that sore feeling that means you can barely walk the day after leg day.
And, that little energy boost you get after a workout? Red light therapy has also been shown to increase ATP production, which is the body's way of creating energy at the cellular level. More energy = better training results. Win-win!
