Therapeutic effects of infrared light

It is commonly known that heat from infrared systems has these therapeutic effects:

1. It increases the expansion of fibres - This effect is invaluable in helping tendon stress, tendon capsule stress and damaged or dysfunctional muscles, during athletic training, and in therapeutic stretching for sportspersons after treatment for problems of mobility!
2. It immediately reduces stiffness of the limbs - Stiff joints and connecting tissues are rid of stiffness.
3. It reduces muscle strain - Muscle strain is reduced through warming up, even though its cause is found in the joints and in neurological phenomena.
4. It alleviates pain - A reduction in muscle stress leads to alleviation of pain. In studies concerning the treatment of teeth, this phenomenon is even used as an anaesthetic.
5. It stimulates blood circulation - Warming up certain parts of the body develops reflexes in other parts, expands body tissue and strengthens blood circulation.
6. It is effective in the treatment of inflammation of the skin and in secretion of sweat.
