Red Light Therapy

Light therapy reduces pain and stimulates healing. Biophotonic therapy (BPT), also known as Low Energy Photon Therapy (LEPT), has been clinically shown to accelerate healing.

Light therapy has unique therapeutic effects including:

  • Improved freedom of motion
  • Improved muscle relaxation
  • Decrease of inflammation
  • Relief of pain
  • Increase in oxygen and blood flow
  • Stimulation of collagen production
  • Increase in lymphatic activity

The Light Cap has 24 red light diodes strategically placed over the frontal sinuses, the temporomandibular joint, occiput (base of the skull), atlas, axis as well as some of the primary acupuncture points in the area.

The base of the skull is one of the most compromised areas of the horses body, the upper neck is one of the most commonly injured areas of the horse and this can affect and disturb the integrity of the whole spine.

The Light Cap can be used to calm and relax the horse through the stimulation of the parasympathetic nervous system
