Unpacking Photobiomodulation and Thermal Effects

I’m back again for my fourth conversation with Dr. Mark Cronshaw, an expert in the world of photobiomodulation (PBM), aka red light therapy. You know that when I have multiple conversations with a guest, I highly value their knowledge and want to go deeper with what they have to share.

If you want to get VERY technical and go deep with the topic of PBM, this episode is for you, and I recommend you listen to the prior 3 episodes we’ve recorded together. 

In this conversation, Dr. Cronshaw presents what he calls his "philosophy of care" for using photobiomodulation to enhance healing, manage pain, and prevent injury. His approach focuses on a few fundamental questions: 

1. Are you treating surface or deep tissues? 

2. Are you seeking to stimulate healing/tissue repair or provide pain relief? 

His multi-dimensional approach explains why different devices produce different results, enabling more strategic use of both professional and at-home light therapy tools.
