The Science
Over 40 years of medical research supports the use of red light and low level light therapy for pain, inflammation and overall well being. Red Recover has harnessed this NASA discovery and bringing it to you. Here are just a handful of published medical studies on red light and low level light therapy. Keep checking back as we will continue to add to studies.
