Red light helps relax tense muscles and supports recovery after exercise. This helps muscles feel supple again sooner after a strenuous workout.

Muscle soreness after training (DOMS) and light therapy

What red and near-infrared light do for the muscle soreness that occurs one to three days after strenuous training.

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), the muscle soreness that occurs 24 to 72 hours after intense training, is familiar to every athlete. Photobiomodulation is one of the most studied non-pharmacological ways to support recovery.

Cause and approach

DOMS is caused by microscopic damage to muscle fibers and the subsequent recovery response. Red and near-infrared light modulate this response: they temper pro-inflammatory signaling molecules, reduce oxidative stress, and provide muscle cells with more ATP for recovery.

Research findings

A review article from the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) describes how photobiomodulation after training can support muscle growth and reduce inflammatory markers and oxidative stress in muscle tissue.

Honest about the evidence

The results are promising but not equally consistent across all studies. The ATP Pro series combines multiple wavelengths in a single device, an approach described in research as more effective than a single wavelength.
