Injury recovery is a complex process involving tissue repair and inflammation management. By delivering specific wavelengths of near-infrared light, SOHL's therapy penetrates deep into the affected tissues, stimulating cellular activity and enhancing the production of ATP. This increased cellular energy can support tissue repair processes, accelerate collagen synthesis, and improve blood circulation to the injured area. Additionally, SOHL helps reduce inflammation by modulating inflammatory mediators and promoting the release of anti-inflammatory substances. This dual action of promoting tissue repair and reducing inflammation can contribute to faster recovery, reduced pain, and improved functional outcomes in injury rehabilitation.

Subjects recovered over 50% quicker than expected from sporting injuries*.

Muscle tissue has more mitochondria than any other tissue or organ which makes it particularly responsive to red light therapy. The key mechanism through which SOHL enhances muscle performance is by stimulating the production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and mitochondria bio genesis. This boost in cellular energy leads to increased protein synthesis and muscle growth. The therapy also supports blood circulation, nutrient delivery to the muscles, and the use of those nutrients in the production of ATP.

111% increase in strength compared to the placebo. Muscle size  increased by almost 100% compared to the placebo*.

Delayed muscle fatigue refers to muscle discomfort and stiffness that occurs after intense exercise.

Microtrauma or small tears in the muscle fibers, particularly during eccentric contractions, contribute to this response. Inflammatory substances like prostaglandins and reactive oxygen species are released, adding to muscle soreness and stiffness.

With specific wavelengths of near-infrared light, SOHL's therapy penetrates into the muscle to stimulate cellular activity, improve blood flow, and deliver oxygen and nutrients, potentially alleviating symptoms and speeding up recovery from delayed muscle fatigue.

Subjects consistently displayed positive results in the biochemical markers that are used to measure muscle damage and recovery.*

By utilizing red and near-infrared light of the appropriate wavelength and intensity to influence the circadian rhythm and melatonin production, SOHL can effectively regulate sleep-wake cycles and enhance the production of melatonin, a hormone crucial for healthy sleep. Adequate rest and quality sleep are crucial for athletes to optimise their recovery and performance.

Subjects experienced improved sleep quality and endurance levels. Assessed via  Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index*.

Red light therapy promotes faster muscle recovery by reducing inflammation and oxidative stress, minimising muscle damage and soreness. By supporting energy production and optimising muscle recovery, red light therapy offers athletes a natural and effective way to enhance their endurance and maximise their performance.

The number of repetitions the subjects could complete before muscle fatigue increased by 27%*.

SOHL supports the process of mitochondrial biogenesis, the process by which new mitochondria are formed within cells. It involves the growth and division of existing mitochondria, as well as the synthesis of new mitochondrial components.

This process is crucial for maintaining cellular energy production and overall mitochondrial health. Mitochondria play a central role in producing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the main energy source of cells. By increasing the number and function of mitochondria, mitochondrial biogenesis can enhance cellular energy metabolism and support various physiological functions.

Studies have demonstrated that different wavelengths of red and infrared can have distinct effects on cellular function. Red and near-infrared wavelengths, such as those created by SOHL, have been shown to stimulate cellular energy production via the mitochondria, while mid and far-infrared wavelengths, commonly used in infrared saunas, primarily produce radiation to heat the body's tissues, promote circulation, and induce sweating.

Infrared saunas use the mid and far-infrared light spectrum (1400-100,00nm) to generate heat whereas red light therapy products use red (620 - 750nm) and near-infrared (750 - 1400nm) wavelengths to stimulate mitochondria to make additional ATP.

Some infrared saunas may have red and near-infrared wavelengths in their total spectrums however they may be a very small portion of the total mix and at an ineffectual distance from the body.

Cryotherapy. Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy. Blood Flow Restriction Training. High-Intensity Interval Training. Platelet-Rich Plasma Therapy. Altitude Training.

These therapies improve blood circulation to deliver increased oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells to different parts of the body, and are limited in their effectiveness by the utilisation of those nutrients.

Red light therapy stimulates the mitochondria at a cellular level to use those nutrients to produce additional ATP, fuelling the body to reach it's optimal potential.
