How Light Therapy Works

Discover the science behind our gentle, effective healing technology

Dual-Wavelength Technology

Photizo uses a precise combination of red and infrared LED light that penetrates deep into muscle and tissue, naturally stimulating your body's own healing response without any discomfort.

Enhanced Blood Flow

The therapeutic light improves circulation to treatment areas, delivering oxygen and nutrients to tired muscles while clearing waste products for faster recovery.

Safe & Non-Invasive

Completely painless with no known side effects. Just 31 seconds of treatment per area and you're done. No drugs, no downtime, no recovery from the recovery.

Quick & Effective

Most athletes notice a difference after just a few sessions, with cumulative benefits building as the body heals and adapts from within.

Understanding Sports Injuries and Recovery

Whether you're a professional athlete, weekend warrior, or simply committed to an active lifestyle, injuries and physical strain are part of the journey. While some issues resolve quickly, others require consistent care and recovery strategies. Understanding these conditions is key to maintaining peak performance and long-term wellness.

According to sports medicine experts, a large percentage of injuries result from overuse, inflammation, or poor recovery habits. That’s where Photizo Sport's advanced light therapy makes the difference — offering a drug-free, non-invasive, and clinically supported solution for recovery and performance.

Most Common Uses:

Muscle Recovery & Fatigue

Photizo Sport promotes cellular repair and reduces inflammation, helping athletes bounce back faster after intense activity. It is effective for Post-Workout Recovery by speeding up muscle regeneration and relieving DOMS (Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness); Fatigue & Overtraining by helping restore energy levels by improving mitochondrial function and circulation; and Cramping & Muscle Spasms by soothing overworked muscles and supporting relaxation of muscle fibres.

Joint & Tendon Support

Support for both acute and chronic joint problems, helping reduce stiffness, pain, and inflammation. It provides support for Arthritis & Joint Pain by easing chronic discomfort in knees, shoulders, and hips; Tendinitis & Bursitis by accelerating healing of inflamed tendons and fluid sacs; and Sprains & Overuse Injuries by encouraging tissue repair and reducing swelling.

Injury Rehabilitation

Essential support during recovery from physical injuries, improving healing outcomes without side effects. It is ideal for Sports Injuries, reducing downtime after strains, tears, and soft tissue damage; Surgical Recovery by improving healing around surgical sites and scars; and Scarring & Bruising by speeding up the fading of post-injury marks and minimising visible scarring.

Performance & Circulation Boost

Light therapy enhances circulation and oxygenation of tissues, supporting endurance and long-term physical health. It is effective as a Warm-Up Aid, preparing muscles and joints for movement with improved blood flow; for Improved Flexibility by supporting connective tissue health and reducing injury risk; and for Immune Recovery by promoting faster recovery from immune or inflammatory responses after heavy training.

How to Use

1

Clean the Treatment Area

Ensure the skin is clean and dry before treatment.

2

Position the Device

Place the device directly on or 1-2cm above the affected area.

3

Start Treatment

Press the power button and treat for 31 seconds per point.

4

Move to Next Area

Treat multiple points around the affected area.

Treatment Guidelines

Sport – Non-chronic pain

A sudden onset of pain usually due to an injury. Always treat with the probe against the skin, and if possible, press lightly to mechanically block superficial blood flow (blood absorbs most of the light). This ensures deeper light penetration.

Schedule

For acute pain, treat twice daily for two to three (3) days, then revert back to two (2) to three (3) times a week.

Conditions & Treatment Areas

Photizo Sport is CE-certified for non-chronic, injury-related pain. These are the most common indications and their treatment points.

Muscle Strains & Overuse

  • Muscle belly of the affected area
  • Proximal and distal muscle attachments
  • Along the direction of muscle fibres
  • Adjacent area to support drainage
6–8 points per session

Sprains & Joint Injuries

  • Directly over the affected joint
  • Medial and lateral ligament attachments
  • Surrounding soft tissue
  • Treat probe firmly against skin to maximise penetration
4–6 points per session

Muscle Spasms

  • Primary trigger point of the spasm
  • Full length of the affected muscle
  • Surrounding muscle groups
  • Neck and upper back for cervical spasms
4–6 points per session

Bruising & Haematoma

  • Treat around the perimeter of the bruise first
  • Move inward toward the centre over sessions
  • Avoid direct pressure on open skin
  • Treat associated muscle tissue
4–6 points per session

Fractures & Bone Injuries

  • Along the fracture site (once immobilised)
  • Surrounding soft tissue and periosteum
  • Proximal and distal to the injury site
  • Press probe firmly against skin for deeper penetration
4–6 points per session

Neck & Shoulder Pain

  • Upper trapezius and paraspinal muscles
  • Rotator cuff and shoulder joint
  • Cervical spine C4–C7
  • Suboccipital region for referred neck pain
6–8 points per session
i
For Non-Chronic Pain Only Photizo Sport is CE-certified for non-chronic, acute injury-related pain. For acute injuries, treat twice daily for 2–3 days, then reduce to 2–3 times per week. Always press the probe firmly against the skin to maximise light penetration. Consult a physiotherapist or sports medicine professional for persistent or severe injuries.

The Research Behind It

Peer-reviewed evidence supporting photobiomodulation therapy for sports recovery and injury rehabilitation

Study 1

LLLT & Exercise Recovery in Athletes

Leal Junior et al., 2010 — Journal of Orthopaedic & Sports Physical Therapy
  • Athletes performed 14.5% more repetitions when treated with LLLT before exercise vs placebo
  • Time to exhaustion increased by 8% in the LLLT group
  • Post-exercise blood lactate, creatine kinase and C-reactive protein all reduced significantly
  • Results consistent across both volleyball and soccer players
Relevance to Photizo Sport

This double-blind RCT directly supports Photizo Sport's use for accelerating recovery, reducing muscle damage markers and improving performance between training sessions.

Study 2

PBM in High-Level Rugby Players

Leal Junior et al., 2016 — Journal of Strength & Conditioning Research
  • Randomised, crossover, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial with professional rugby players
  • PBMT group showed significantly faster recovery between matches and training loads
  • Creatine kinase levels — a key marker of muscle damage — were significantly lower post-treatment
  • Players reported reduced soreness and faster return to full training capacity
Relevance to Photizo Sport

Conducted with elite athletes under real-world training conditions, this study confirms PBMT's role in reducing muscle damage and speeding recovery — precisely the use case for Photizo Sport.

Treatment Protocol

Consistency is key to faster recovery. Follow the phase that matches where you are in your injury or training cycle.

Acute Injury

Immediately After Injury

Use in the first 2–3 days following a new injury, strain or sprain

Frequency Twice daily
Time Per Point 31 seconds
Duration 2–3 days
Active Recovery

Ongoing Recovery

Once the initial acute phase settles, reduce frequency and continue healing

Frequency 2–3x per week
Time Per Point 31 seconds
Duration Until fully recovered
Return to Training

Prevention & Performance

Use around training sessions to support recovery and reduce re-injury risk

Frequency After each session
Time Per Point 31 seconds
Duration Ongoing, as needed
Phase Frequency Time Per Point Duration
Acute Injury Twice daily 31 seconds 2–3 days
Active Recovery 2–3x per week 31 seconds Until fully recovered
Return to Training After each session 31 seconds Ongoing, as needed
i
Important Note Always press the probe firmly against the skin to maximise light penetration to deeper tissues. Allow at least 4 hours between sessions on the same area. Do not treat through clothing or creams. Consult a physiotherapist or sports medicine professional if your injury is not improving.
