Photobiomodulation has long been a potent tool in the promotion of good health, but now it is easier than ever to benefit from the healing power of light. This is the first of four LLAMA podcast episodes exploring the benefits of red-light therapy. Dr. Zulia Frost is a medical doctor and clinical director at Recharge Health, creators of a targeted red-light device, known as FlexBeam. Dr. Frost explains that the technology has many applications, including the treatment of sports injuries, therapy for age-related aches and pains and as way to help improve sleep.
FlexBeam is not intended to diagnose, cure, or prevent specific diseases or medical conditions.
