For people who run, lift, ride or play and want to bounce back faster. Red light fits around your training: a quick session after a workout, at home, in your home gym or on the road.
Recover faster between workouts with red light
What research says about light, muscles and performance.
What research shows
A 2016 review in the Journal of Biophotonics found photobiomodulation can support muscle performance and reduce markers of exercise-induced muscle damage in many studies.
Why it works
Red and near-infrared light are absorbed by the mitochondria in muscle cells, the part that makes energy, helping muscles feel fresher after hard efforts.
Relevant wavelengths
850nm near-infrared reaches deeper into big muscle groups like quads, hamstrings and the back. 660nm red light supports the skin and surface tissue.

FAQ
Many athletes use it after training to help muscles feel fresher, and the research is promising. See what helps.
Both work: a short session can help you warm up, and a longer one after training helps you cool down. Most people use it after the workout or in the evening. See how often.
