Around the Diamond
Every position has its price.
Wherever you stand on the field, there's an injury with your name on it. The good news: every one of them responds to the right kind of light.
⚾ Pitcher's Mound
Pitcher's Elbow
"It feels like a knife between my forearm and biceps every time I let one go."
UCL strain, medial epicondylitis, "Little League elbow" — the cost of throwing hard, often. Red light penetrates the deep tissue around the ligament to support natural healing of the cells doing the repair work.
★ Most common youth pitching injury⚾ Behind Home Plate
Catcher's Knee
"By the 7th inning, I can barely stand up between pitches."
Patellar tendinopathy, meniscus wear, and just plain swollen knees from 150+ squats a game. Light therapy reduces the post-game inflammation that turns a long career into a short one.
★ #1 reason catchers retire early⚾ In the Batter's Box
HBP & Soft Tissue
"I took a 92 on the thigh. Three days later it was still purple and stiff."
Bruises, deep contusions, hip-pointer hits. Red light accelerates the body's natural process of clearing damaged tissue and restoring blood flow — so the bruise doesn't become a season.
★ Faster than ice alone⚾ On Defense
Rotator Cuff & Shoulder
"I can throw it, I just can't sleep on that side anymore."
The shoulder takes a beating from every throw across the diamond — tendinitis, impingement, labrum stress. Light therapy targets the small stabilizer muscles that ice packs can't reach.
★ Outfielders, SS, 3B beware⚾ Around the Bases
Hamstring Strain
"I felt the pop rounding second. Just like that — done for the month."
The classic baseball injury: cold legs, sudden sprint, snap. Red light therapy supports tissue repair and reduces the post-strain stiffness that lingers for weeks.
★ Avg. recovery: 4–8 weeks⚾ In the Locker Room
Low Back & Obliques
"After 200 swings in the cage, my back doesn't unlock until morning."
Baseball is a rotational sport — and your spine pays the tax. Light therapy across the lumbar and oblique region eases the post-swing tightness that turns into chronic stiffness.
★ Hits hitters & pitchers alike
The Science, In English
It's not magic. It's mitochondria.
Specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light pass through skin and reach the cellular powerhouses (mitochondria) inside muscle, tendon, and joint tissue. Once there, they support the body's natural energy production — the same energy your tissue uses to repair itself.
Translation? You give your body better tools, and it does the recovery work faster. No needles. No pills. No downtime.
- Supports natural tissue repair after intense training
- Helps reduce normal post-game soreness and stiffness
- Used 10–20 minutes a session, before bed or after practice
- Drug-free and non-invasive — pitchers, parents, and PT-friendly
Coach's Clipboard
Game plans for every injury.
Pin these to your dugout wall. Or your bedroom mirror. Or your trainer's room.
Protocol 01
PITCHER'S ELBOW
1
Position the panel 6 inches from the inside of your throwing elbow, with your arm bent at 90°.
2
Treat for 10 minutes on the medial side (where the UCL lives).
3
Rotate the arm and treat the lateral side for another 5 minutes.
4
Frequency: every day on a pitching day, post-throwing. 4–5×/week off-day maintenance.
Protocol 02
CATCHER'S KNEE
1
Sit with your leg extended. Position the panel 6 inches in front of the knee.
2
Treat the front of the knee (patellar tendon) for 10 minutes.
3
Reposition behind the knee for another 5 minutes to hit the hamstring insertion.
4
Frequency: immediately post-game and again before bed. Both knees, alternating.
Protocol 03
HBP & CONTUSIONS
1
First 24 hours: ice, compress, elevate as normal — don't apply red light to fresh, acutely swollen tissue.
2
After 24 hours, position the panel 6 inches from the bruised area.
3
Treat for 10–15 minutes, 2× daily, until the bruise resolves.
4
Pro tip: the panel covers a wider area than a topical — great for hip-pointers and thigh contusions.
Protocol 04
LOW BACK & OBLIQUES
1
Stand or lie face-down with the panel 6 inches from your lumbar spine.
2
Treat across the lower back for 10 minutes.
3
Rotate 90° to treat each oblique for 5 minutes each (10 min total).
4
Frequency: post-batting practice, post-game, and before bed on heavy rotation days.

The body we need to keep playing.
From the ivy creeping up the bricks at Wrigley to the Green Monster towering over Fenway. From a Saturday in Williamsport to a Tuesday on the local high school field. Baseball isn't just a sport — it's a place we go to feel like ourselves. Valo exists so you can keep showing up to that place. One more inning. One more season. One more game of catch in the backyard.

Questions from the Dugout
The stuff coaches and parents always ask.
Yes. Red light therapy is non-invasive, drug-free, and produces no heat at therapeutic doses. It's used by athletes of all ages, including youth athletes under parent supervision. As with anything, we recommend consulting with your athlete's physician or athletic trainer if they have an existing condition.
For game and practice recovery, the best window is within 1–2 hours after activity, and again before bed. For chronic conditions like catcher's knee, a daily consistent time (morning or evening) is more important than the specific hour.
Most athletes notice a difference in how their body feels after activity within the first 1–2 weeks of consistent daily use. For chronic conditions like nagging elbow or knee pain, give it 3–4 weeks of steady use to evaluate.
Absolutely — many travel teams, high schools, and college programs share Beam or Blaze panels in the trainer's room or dugout. We also offer dedicated team and facility programs. Reach out and we'll point you to the right setup.
Nope — and we'd never tell you otherwise. Red light therapy is a complement to good training, smart pitch counts, proper warmups, and qualified medical care. For diagnosed injuries, always follow your physician or athletic trainer's plan. Valo is the tool that fits alongside the rest of the work.
Every Valo panel ships with a 60-day risk-free trial. Try it through a full game week, a tournament weekend, a couple bullpens — and if it isn't earning its spot on your roster, send it back for a full refund.
Step up to the plate.
Your body's on deck.
One season is too long to nurse a sore arm. Two seasons is a career you didn't get to have. Start recovering tonight — and play the next game like you mean it.
