The Limitations of Whole Body Light Therapy

The podcast discusses the limitations of whole body light therapy and its effectiveness in comparison to targeted laser therapy. The hosts mention that while we know targeted laser therapy can be highly beneficial, the same cannot be said for full body light therapy. They reference a study titled 'The Effects of Whole Body Photobuyomodulation Light Bed Therapy on creatine kinase and salivary interleukin-6 in a sample of trained males' which examines the impact of full body light therapy on trained athletes. The study found that whole body light therapy did not significantly reduce creatine kinase or salivary interleukin-6 response post-exercise compared to a control group. While the study had some limitations due to its small sample size, it suggests that full body light therapy may not offer the same benefits as targeted laser therapy.
