Introducing Red Light Therapy and the FlexBeam

14 March 2023

Red Light Therapy is a new and innovative recovery technique developed over decades by NASA using data from thousands of scientific and medical studies. Traditionally, it's been impossible to access the healing benefits of this incredible technique. Until now.

The FlexBeam is bringing all the marvelous healing benefits of red light therapy into your home and gym to supercharge recovery following intense exercise. Take a look below to see exactly what red light therapy and the FlexBeam can do for you and your performance.

What Is Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy is an emerging technique for speeding up recovery following intense exercise or injury. Developed by NASA as a way to rapidly speed up recuperation and recovery in astronauts following intense training, red light therapy is now available to use in the comfort of your own home, training centre, physiotherapy facility or gym.

Introducing the FlexBeam

The FlexBeam is the industry leader when it comes to portable and accessible red light therapy devices. Harnessing all the restorative healing technology you'd expect from a larger, more weighty device, the FlexBeam can be used on-the-go in the gym or training facility, or in the comfort of your own home following an injury or intense training session.

Supercharge Your Recovery

Red light therapy is all about stimulating the cells to take in more oxygenated blood for faster and more effective healing in the treated area. By supporting and stimulating the bodies natural ability to heal following an injury or intense training session, the FlexBeam means your body is better prepared for the next session the following day.

A typical session lasts between 20 and 30 minutes, and the FlexBeam can be easily and comfortable draped over or wrapped around the affected joint or muscle whilst you do other things.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Does Red Light Therapy Work?

The scientific principle behind red light therapy is that when stimulated by the presence of red light, the mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell) in our blood are strengthened to increase energy production, which helps to supercharge recovery and improve healing.

What Does Red Light Therapy Do?

This improved blood flow means you spend less time recovering and your muscles are treated in a way that allows you to work better and more efficiently the following day. If you suffer with delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) or you're often fatigued the day after a heavy session, red light therapy has something to offer you.

Is Red Light Therapy the Same as Infrared?

You may be wondering what the main difference between red light therapy and infrared therapy is. Whilst similar in their application, red light is visible, meaning you can target the areas you want to focus on with ease.

Can Red Light Therapy Be Accessed At Home?

The Flexbeam was designed for this. The device is 100% portable and can be used at home, in the gym or during physiotherapy appointments.

What Are the Pros and Cons of Red Light Therapy?

Red light therapy is an emerging therapy that has garnered a lot of attention in recent years, prompting a lot of discussion online and research in scientific journals. Peer-reviewed scientific studies have reported big improvements in athletic strength when using red light therapy, and Flexbeam's in-house study found users lifted up to 40% more compared to the control group when using the device.

Is Red Light Therapy Just for Sport?

Not at all. Red light therapy has a wide scope for helping to reduce the prevalence of scars, wrinkles, acne and redness on the skin.

Wrapping It Up

The restorative and recovery benefits of the Flexbeam cannot be ignored, whether you're a professional athlete or you're looking to supercharge your workout routine. Red light therapy is only becoming more and more popular as athletes and amateurs alike start to get their hands on the Flexbeam.
