How Photo Biomodulation Therapy Works

Step 1: Application of Therapeutic Light

During a PBMT session, red and near-infrared light is directed onto the treatment area using a specialized device. The light is applied directly over the skin, without heat, pain, or discomfort.

• The treatment does not break the skin
• You will not feel burning or stinging
• Most people feel only gentle warmth or nothing at all

---

Step 2: Light Penetrates the Body

The selected wavelengths of light are able to pass through the skin and reach deeper layers of tissue, including muscles, joints, and nerves.

These wavelengths are chosen because they are:

• Scientifically studied
• Safe for the human body
• Able to travel deeper than ordinary visible light

---

Step 3: Light Is Absorbed by the Cells

Inside each cell are tiny energy centers called mitochondria. These mitochondria absorb the therapeutic light.

You can think of mitochondria as small power plants inside your cells. When they receive the right type of light, they begin to function more efficiently.

---

Step 4: Increase in Cellular Energy

Once the light is absorbed, the mitochondria produce more cellular energy (ATP).

This increase in energy allows cells to:

• Repair damage more effectively
• Reduce inflammation
• Improve circulation
• Communicate better with surrounding cells

Healthy cells lead to healthier tissues.

Step 5: Activation of Natural Healing Responses

With improved energy and function, the body activates several natural healing processes, such as:

• Reduced inflammation and swelling
• Faster tissue repair
• Improved blood flow and oxygen delivery
• Reduction in pain signals

PBMT does not force the body to heal — it supports and enhances what the body already knows how to do.

What Happens During a PBMT Session?

• The client is comfortably positioned
• The treatment area is identified
• The PBMT device is placed over or near the area
• Light is applied for a set amount of time (usually a few minutes per area)
• The session ends with no downtime required

Clients can usually return to normal daily activities immediately after the session.

Is Photo Biomodulation Therapy Safe?

PBMT is considered safe when performed using approved equipment and proper protocols.

• No needles
• No medications
• No radiation
• No damage to healthy tissue

It has been studied for decades and is used in medical, sports, and rehabilitation settings worldwide.

How Many Sessions Are Needed?

The number of sessions depends on:

• The condition being addressed
• The severity and duration of symptoms
• Individual response to treatment

Some people notice improvements after a few sessions, while others benefit from a structured treatment plan over several weeks.

Who Can Benefit from PBMT?

Photo Biomodulation Therapy is commonly used to support:

• Pain management
• Inflammation reduction
• Muscle and joint recovery
• Injury rehabilitation
• Nerve support
• Overall tissue healing
