The Science Is Simple. The Results Are Powerful.

Red light therapy uses specific wavelengths of red (660nm) and near-infrared (850nm) light to penetrate deep into your skin, muscles, joints, and even bone.

Increased ATP Production

Your cells get a surge of energy to repair damaged tissue faster.

Reduced Inflammation

Decreases pro-inflammatory cytokines that cause swelling, pain, and stiffness.

Enhanced Blood Flow

Promotes vasodilation and angiogenesis, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to injured tissue.

Boosted Collagen Synthesis

Critical for rebuilding ligaments, tendons, cartilage, and bone.

Lower Oxidative Stress

Activates your body's antioxidant defenses, protecting healing tissue from further damage.

Red Light Therapy for Every Sports Injury. Here's What the Research Shows.

1

SOFT TISSUE INJURIES (Contusions, Bruises, General Trauma)

The Problem:

Contusions and general soft tissue injuries are the most common injuries in sports. They cause pain, swelling, loss of strength, and missed playing time.

What the Science Says:

A randomized controlled trial published in the Journal of Sport Rehabilitation studied the effects of pulsed red and blue photobiomodulation on thigh contusion injuries. Participants who received active PBM treatment showed significantly increased quadriceps peak torque during high-speed testing and significantly improved average power output at both low and high speeds compared to placebo.

Why Valo Helps:

The Valo Blaze delivers both red (660nm) and near-infrared (850nm) wavelengths — the exact range shown in clinical studies to penetrate deep into muscle tissue, reduce inflammation markers, and accelerate the healing cascade for contusions and soft tissue trauma.
2

CONCUSSION & TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY (TBI)

The Problem:

Concussions affect an estimated 50–60 million people globally each year. Symptoms including headaches, cognitive deficits, sleep problems, dizziness, and mood disturbances can persist for months or even years. Currently, there are no FDA-approved drug treatments for TBI recovery.

What the Science Says:

A 2025 randomized placebo-controlled trial on patients with mild TBI found that transcranial photobiomodulation produced enhanced cognitive efficiency — including improved visual working memory, better verbal learning, improved sleep quality, fewer physical post-concussion symptoms, reduced pain intensity, and decreased PTSD symptoms.

Why Valo Helps:

Near-infrared light at 850nm can penetrate through the skull to reach brain tissue. While Valo devices are designed for body application, the underlying science shows how these wavelengths support neural recovery and reduced neuroinflammation — the same mechanisms at play in sports-related head injuries.
3

HAMSTRING STRAINS (Muscle/Tendon Tears)

The Problem:

Hamstring strains are one of the most common — and most frustrating — sports injuries. They account for roughly 10% of all athletic injuries and have notoriously high re-injury rates, often because athletes return to play before the tissue has fully healed.

What the Science Says:

A landmark pilot study published in Laser Therapy tracked 395 sports injuries (including 35 hamstring strains) treated with 830nm LED phototherapy over 15 months. Athletes who received LED treatment had a mean return-to-play time of just 9.6 days — compared to an anticipated 19.23 days with conventional treatment alone. That's a 50% faster return to play.

Why Valo Helps:

Hamstrings are a thick, deep muscle group. The Valo Blaze's near-infrared wavelength (850nm) penetrates deep enough to reach the muscle belly and surrounding fascia — exactly where hamstring strains occur. Combined with 660nm red light for the overlying skin and superficial tissues, you get comprehensive coverage for the entire injury site.
4

SPRAINS (Ligament Tears)

The Problem:

Ligament injuries — from ankle sprains to MCL tears — are notoriously slow to heal because ligaments have very limited blood supply. No blood vessels run through them, which means oxygen and nutrients have trouble reaching the injury site.

What the Science Says:

Research has shown that red light therapy increases vasodilation — the widening of blood vessels — which improves circulation to structures that normally receive limited blood supply. In a study on MCL (medial collateral ligament) recovery, patients in the laser treatment group exhibited a noteworthy increase in the fibril diameter of their recovering ligaments, indicating that light therapy played a key role in the structural repair process.

Why Valo Helps:

Ligaments need two things to heal: better blood supply and more collagen production. Red light therapy at 660nm and 850nm has been shown to deliver both — stimulating fibroblasts (the cells that produce collagen) while enhancing microcirculation to the injury site.
5

KNEE INJURIES (ACL Tears & Post-Surgical Recovery)

The Problem:

ACL reconstruction is performed approximately 100,000 times per year in the United States alone. Recovery typically takes 6–12 months, with significant pain, swelling, and loss of range of motion in the weeks following surgery. Post-surgical stiffness (arthrofibrosis) is a major complication.

What the Science Says:

A 2022 study in Physiological Research found that low-level laser therapy significantly attenuated joint contracture following ACL reconstruction surgery in rats — reducing inflammation, decreasing fibrous tissue formation, and preserving range of motion compared to untreated controls.

Why Valo Helps:

Whether you're recovering from ACL surgery, dealing with patellar tendonitis, or managing chronic knee pain from years of athletics, the Valo Blaze covers the entire knee area with therapeutic wavelengths. Use it before and after physical therapy sessions to maximize your rehabilitation results.
6

ANKLE SPRAINS

The Problem:

Ankle sprains are one of the three most common sports injuries. While often dismissed as 'just a sprain,' improperly healed ankle ligaments lead to chronic instability, repeated sprains, and long-term joint problems.

What the Science Says:

In the landmark university athlete study, ankle sprains were among the most frequently treated injuries with LED phototherapy — and they responded the fastest, with athletes reaching pain-free status in fewer treatment sessions than hamstring or knee injuries.

Why Valo Helps:

Ankle sprains involve superficial ligaments that respond exceptionally well to red light at 660nm — the wavelength doesn't need to penetrate as deep as with thigh or knee injuries. The Valo Spark or Beam can be positioned directly over the ankle for targeted treatment in 10–15 minute sessions.
7

SHIN SPLINTS (Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome)

The Problem:

Shin splints plague runners, basketball players, dancers, and military recruits. The pain along the shinbone is caused by inflammation of the muscles, tendons, and periosteum (bone tissue) surrounding the tibia. Left untreated, they can progress to stress fractures.

What the Science Says:

PBM's anti-inflammatory properties are particularly relevant for shin splints, where inflammation of the periosteum and surrounding soft tissue drives the pain cycle. Research has shown that PBM reduces inflammatory markers including TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6 — the exact cytokines involved in the inflammatory cascade that makes shin splints so persistent.

Why Valo Helps:

The shin is close to the skin surface, making it highly accessible to both red and near-infrared wavelengths. A Valo device placed directly over the affected area delivers light energy exactly where it's needed — to the inflamed periosteum, stressed bone, and irritated surrounding tissue.
8

FRACTURES (Stress Fractures & Bone Breaks)

The Problem:

Bone fractures — whether from acute trauma or repetitive stress — require weeks to months of healing. Delayed healing or nonunion is a significant clinical challenge, and conventional treatment is largely limited to immobilization and time.

What the Science Says:

A systematic review in Lasers in Medical Science concluded that PBM is associated with improvement of pain and physical function in fracture patients. The therapy influences the release of growth factors involved in collagen production, vascular proliferation, and bone matrix synthesis.

Why Valo Helps:

Near-infrared light at 850nm penetrates deep enough to reach bone tissue. For fractures close to the surface — stress fractures in the foot, shin, or wrist — the Valo Blaze can deliver therapeutic doses directly to the healing bone, potentially supporting faster callus formation and stronger repair.

How to Use Red Light Therapy for Sports Recovery

Before Exercise (Pre-Conditioning)

Apply for 10–15 minutes to target muscle groups before training. Research shows pre-exercise PBM can enhance performance, increase time-to-exhaustion, and reduce subsequent muscle damage.

After Exercise (Recovery)

Apply within 2–4 hours post-workout for 10–20 minutes per area. This is the optimal window for reducing inflammation, lowering creatine kinase (muscle damage marker), and accelerating muscle repair.

For Injuries

Apply 3–5 times per week, 10–20 minutes per session, directly over the injured area. Keep the device 6–12 inches from the skin. Combine with your physical therapy and rehabilitation plan for maximum results.

Consistency Is Key

Like any recovery protocol, red light therapy works best with regular use. Most athletes notice improvements within 2–4 weeks of consistent treatment.

PRO ATHLETES ALREADY USE THIS

Why the Pros Are Already In on This

This isn't experimental. It's already in the locker room.

The San Francisco 49ers built a dedicated red light therapy recovery room at Levi's Stadium to help players recover from the grueling demands of NFL football.

Under Armour's Human Performance Center incorporates red light therapy into their daily recovery protocol for elite athletes — alongside saunas, meditation, and compression therapy. Athletes like Steph Curry and Michael Phelps train at this facility.

Dr. Patrick Khaziran of Sports Rehab LA — who has treated hundreds of professional athletes in the NBA, NFL, MLB, including Pro Bowlers, All-Stars, and future Hall of Famers — calls light therapy one of his three core treatments: "Compression, ice, and healthy light exposure. Those are the three. They work. They're perfect."

Brazilian researchers found in a randomized, triple-blind, placebo-controlled trial on professional soccer players that pre-exercise light therapy produced significant improvements in all biochemical markers evaluated, concluding that it can "enhance performance and accelerate recovery."

The difference? Pro athletes pay thousands per session at sports medicine clinics. With Valo, you get the same medical-grade wavelengths — unlimited sessions, from home.
