Light therapy has analgesic properties that can help alleviate pain associated with various conditions such as arthritis, muscle soreness, and injuries.

Pain Management

Reduces pain and inflammation, promotes comfort, and increases mobility in horses.

Light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, has been recognized for its ability to provide pain relief in horses. This therapy harnesses the power of specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular activity and promote healing.

By targeting affected areas with specific wavelengths of light, the wavelengths can penetrate deep into tissues acting on the “power plant” in your body's cells called mitochondria. With more energy, cells can do their work more efficiently, and can perform tasks such as repairing skin, boosting new cell growth and enhancing skin rejuvenation.

The interaction of the light triggers a cascade of beneficial biological responses that also include the release of endorphins and other natural pain-relieving chemicals. As a result, horses experience a reduction in discomfort and improved mobility.

Enhanced Healing

Light therapy stimulates cellular activity and metabolism, accelerating tissue repair and regeneration.

Through the stimulation of cellular activity and metabolism there is enhanced healing of wounds, injuries, and even surgical incisions, leading to accelerated tissue repair, and quicker recovery.

The analgesic effect improves horses' comfort and mobility, allowing them to recover more comfortably from their injuries.

Improved Circulation

Light therapy promotes vasodilation, which increases blood flow to the treated area. Improved circulation is a crucial benefit of light therapy, facilitated by vasodilation initiated by exposure to specific wavelengths of light.

Vasodilation refers to widening of blood vessels, which enhances blood flow to the treated area, this increased blood flow brings a range of benefits for tissue health and function:

Ensures the efficient delivery of oxygen and nutrients to the tissues, essential for cellular metabolism and energy production.
Aids in the removal of metabolic waste products such as lactic acid, which can accumulate during exercise or tissue injury.

By facilitating the exchange of gasses, nutrients, and waste products at the cellular level, improved circulation supports optimal tissue health and function, promoting faster healing and overall well-being.

Reduced Muscle Tension

Light therapy can help relax tense muscles and reduce muscle spasms in horses. It promotes muscle relaxation, flexibility, and range of motion, which is particularly beneficial for horses engaged in strenuous activities or experiencing soft tissue damage and strain.

By delivering specific wavelengths of light to targeted areas, this therapy encourages the release of endorphins, natural pain-relieving chemicals. As a result, horses experience reduced muscle tension, increased flexibility, and improved range of motion.

Light therapy is perfect for horses involved in rigorous physical activities who often suffer from musculoskeletal and soft tissue strain and injury by helping to speed healing and recovery, getting them back to their pre-strain strength and performance levels.

Stress Relief

Light therapy has a calming effect on the nervous system, helping to reduce stress, anxiety, and tension in horses. It induces relaxation and promotes mental well-being and a more balanced and contented temperament. Light therapy reduces stress by exerting a calming influence on their nervous system by triggering the release of neurotransmitters; such as, serotonin and dopamine, which are associated with feelings of relaxation and well-being, through the simple emission of specific wavelengths of light. This characteristic of light therapy can benefit horses subject to stressful situations, or those with anxiety-related behaviors as it helps to promote mental tranquillity and overall emotional health.

Equines that undergo regular light therapy sessions often exhibit greater resilience to stressors, increased adaptability to environmental changes, and a more positive overall demeanor.
