Red light

[Slyderkt]

I am looking at a red light product by Kineon.
It has 3 red lights on a strap. Says you can strap it on and have an isolated area treated. For pain.
I am looking at it for my knees, elbows, shoulders etc….

Any have experience with this?

Even if it does it'll be super mild

light therapy on humans is a real thing. i mean we can see light and colors.

painting your room blue vs. red has been found to be more relaxing and people have actually slept better. having said that do i think light therapy can heal an injury? no. if it did pro athletes would be doing it .. you know what pro athletes do? they stretch stretch stretch and work on mobility. go to sporting event 2-3 hours prior. they are on the field warming up, stretching, etc. go to a practice, they spend MORE TIME working on mobility and stretching then they do actually practicing. why? because it helps prevent injuries!

weight lifters are too macho to do any of that beta shit though. yoga? its for betas right? except the top athlets in the world do yoga. why? cause it works and prolong their careers. you have 320 pound nose tackles in the NFL who can do splits. if your mobility and flexibility sucks of course your joints are gonna get wrecked weightlifting. its cause they dry out and when that happens things start to tear, then inflammation comes in. etc. maintenance is crucial. i didn't think of this stuff in my 30's and ended up with lots of injuries and had to catch up. now i make sure i warm up and dynamic stretch before EVERY WORKOUT and stretch AFTER. i don't care if the braindead meatheads at my gym look at me and think i'm a pussy for doing it. weightlifters think they just have to show up and lift and thats it. no you need maintenance on your body just like any other sport

[ROIDDERS]

if it was that simple you wouldn't see Pro bodybuilders with injuries all the time

 

[chesty]

you're gonna have to rest an injury like that in your joints

 

[Ulter]

time to take a look at the way you're training

these types of joint problems need to be rested not hammered
