Bioptron and Recovery: Can Light Therapy Help?

It is tempting to expect a treatment to make recovery faster. Research into photobiomodulation and exercise recovery is mixed, and findings from other light devices or athlete populations do not prove that Bioptron speeds healing for an individual.

Recovery depends on the cause

Reviews of light-based therapies report outcome-specific and often uncertain evidence. Device, dose, timing, injury type and study population all matter. There is not enough evidence to promise faster recovery from Bioptron across conditions.

A tailored plan may include appropriate loading, sleep, rehabilitation and assessment of the underlying problem. Use light therapy only as a potential adjunct and follow advice from your treating professional.
