What will I feel during the session?
LED light therapy is non-abrasive, non-invasive, painless, and restorative. During a session, a client might feel a mild, soothing warmth or tingling sensation. It is very subtle energetic light therapy and completely painless.
Clients generally feel an increase in overall wellbeing. Often clients fall into a deep and restful sleep and awake saying it is the best nap they have ever had!
It is very important to drink plenty of water after a light therapy session to flush your system as a lot of clearing/cleansing/detoxing takes place within your body during the session.
How will I feel after a session?
Outcomes are always dependent on the individual client. Our mind has a significant impact on the health of our body, so the client’s own mind-body connection can also play a significant role in how a client benefits from a light therapy session. [Note: for a more scientific view of the Body-Mind connection, see The Connection: Mind your body]
If a condition is caused by a specific action/behavior which the client does not eliminate or minimize, light therapy will have reduced benefits.
Occasionally, a client may experience an increase in pain or discomfort for a short period of time after a session as circulation to an injured/damaged area increases. This is generally a normal process as the nerves and tissues in the affected area begin to heal.
Chronic Conditions:
The longer a client has experienced a chronic condition (lasting more than six months), generally the longer it takes to improve, so the time it takes to benefit from light therapy for chronic conditions will vary.
Acute Conditions:
The sooner a client utilizes light therapy for an acute condition (lasting less than six months), generally the less time it takes to feel the benefits of light therapy, so the time it takes to benefit from light therapy for acute conditions will vary.
