What is Red Light Therapy?

July 26, 2021Leave a comment

Continental Massage is excited to announce our newest service offering, Red Light Therapy. Red light therapy has been studied and tested across hundreds of peer-reviewed clinical trials, with overwhelmingly positive results for skin health, collagen production, physical performance & muscle recovery, sleep, joint pain, inflammation, and a lot more. And that’s without drugs, chemicals, UV rays, invasive procedures, or other common side effects.

NFL stars, NBA teams, Olympians, world-class trainers, natural health leaders, and leading clinics & gyms are using red light therapy every day for these natural health benefits.

Our high-quality red light therapy devices use medical-grade LEDs to deliver concentrated wavelengths of natural light to your skin and cells, without dangerous UV rays or excess heat. All you have to do is sit or stand near a device for 5-15 minutes per specified body part or surface area to charge your cells. Use our handheld device to focus red light on a concentrated area, such as the face, or a knee. Use large hanging panels to cover more surface area of your body: the back, upper legs, or upper body. The more area you can cover, the more your cells absorb natural light, and the more full-body benefits you can expect to see with consistent use.

Red and near infrared wavelengths of natural light stimulate the mitochondria in your cells, the powerhouses responsible for taking light, oxygen, and the food we eat—and turning it into usable energy for our bodies through the process of cellular respiration.

Red Light therapy is available in our converted infrared sauna with Himalayan salt therapy. Each session is up to 45 minutes. One overhead panel, one side panel and one handheld device are provided during each session to use simultaneously or any in combination.

Did You Know?

There is an intricate group of receptors within the body called the endocannabinoid system(ECS). This complex network impacts many areas of health and is most abundant in the brain and immune system. Studies have shown the ECS to be responsible for important functions such as sleep, relaxation, inflammatory responses, and cognitive ability. The ECS is normally fueled by the healthy production of endocannabinoids. The challenge arises when endocannabinoid production becomes impaired or slowed. The good news is that nature has gifted us with a solution. Phytocannabinoids innately occur in the hemp plant and can serve as a replacement for the endocannabinoids your body may be lacking.

The News Is Out

Since ancient times, the hemp plant has been revered for an abundance of health benefits. Hemp is naturally rich in phytocannabinoids. This amazing botanical includes hundreds of other biologically active compounds, each one with its own potential for health benefits. However, when the plant is consumed in its full and natural arrangement, the potential for health impact explodes. This phenomenon is known as the “entourage effect” and it only occurs in full

Chances are good that, at some point in your life, you will have back pain. In fact, 70-85 percent of Americans will experience back pain at some point in their lives. But even with those odds, there are still several ways to minimize your risk and give yourself the best chance to live pain-free.

Several factors can cause back pain, including stress, poor posture, bad ergonomics, lack of exercise, arthritis, osteoporosis, a sedentary lifestyle, overexertion, pregnancy, kidney stones, fibromyalgia, excess weight, and more.

With all of these potential causes lurking, it’s important to look at behaviors that can help you prevent and avoid back pain before it starts. Here are a few simple healthy back tips from the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke:

Stretch and warm tissues before exercise or other strenuous activities.
Practice good posture. Avoid slouching when sitting or standing. When standing, keep your weight balanced on both feet. Follow good ergonomics in the workplace.
When sitting for long periods of time, rest your feet on a foot support.
Make sure your chair and work surfaces are at the proper height.
Get up and move around in between long sitting stints.  Avoid high-heeled shoes. Watch your weight.
Excess weight, especially around the waist, can put undue stress on lower back muscles. Exercise. Core strengthening moves, especially, will also benefit your back.
Don’t lift items that are heavier than you can handle. Remember to lift with your knees, not your back. Pull in your stomach muscles, keep your head down and in line with your straight back, and do not twist when lifting.
Get a massage. Using therapeutic bodywork can melt pain-inducing stress away from your back and the rest of your body.
