PbmEquine Dog Leg Red Light Therapy Mat (Built-in Battery)

Red Light Therapy works by delivering specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light through the skin to activate the body’s natural healing and regeneration processes.

When applied at optimal wavelengths and energy levels, this light helps protect cells from nitric oxide interference. Under stress or illness, excess nitric oxide can block the production of ATP—the energy source your cells need to function properly. Red and near-infrared light reduce this interference, allowing cells to use oxygen more efficiently and continue producing energy.

By reaching deep into the cell’s mitochondria, red light therapy directly stimulates cellular repair and regeneration. The result is improved appearance, enhanced performance, and better overall well-being.

Because of the way it energizes the cells, red light can help with a number of health conditions in animals, including the following:​

• Joint Discomfort
  
• Osteoarthritis
  
• Inflammation 
  
• Muscle soreness
  
• Wounds and scars
  
• Infections and viruses 
  
• Tendon and ligament injuries
  
• Exercise & overexertion recovery
  
• Pre and post-performance recovery
  

In short, light therapy works by improving cellular function. All living organisms rely on light to produce energy. Inside each cell, mitochondria absorb specific wavelengths of light—naturally from the sun—and convert them into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the fuel that powers the body.

Light therapy supplements natural sunlight by delivering concentrated, therapeutic wavelengths directly to the body. When cells receive a consistent supply of this beneficial light, they are able to produce energy more efficiently, helping the body function at a higher level.

Red wavelength light therapy, in particular, has been shown to improve blood circulation, reduce pain, and support the body’s inflammatory response. Over time, this can lead to noticeable benefits such as healthier skin, better sleep, increased energy, faster recovery, and improved overall performance.

Usage frequency depends on the condition being treated and the specific device being used. For many situations, an initial period of more frequent use is recommended to support early recovery.

In general:

• Many users begin with daily sessions for the first two weeks
  
• This is typically followed by a maintenance schedule of once or twice per week
  

For best results, always follow the usage instructions provided with your device, as well as any guidance from your veterinarian or healthcare professional. Consistency is key—maintaining a regular routine helps support the body’s natural recovery and regenerative processes.

• Use two 15-minute sessions per day on onetarget areafor optimal results.
• If needed, repeat thesessionon another area.
• Continue regular use until results are visible; most users see improvement within about two weeks.
• Do not use the device while the horse is in motion, as movement and pressure may cause the LED to disconnect from the power source.
• Do not fold the red light therapy wrap, as this may damage the LED connection. Simply place it gently on your horse’s body during treatment.

Yes, red light therapy can be used to support the healing of minor open wounds. It has been widely recognized as a safe and natural method to help accelerate the healing process by supporting circulation and cellular repair.

Red light therapy is commonly used to assist with:

• Minor cuts and abrasions
• Burns
• Post-surgical incisions
• Scar recovery

That said, wounds that require medical attention should always be evaluated by a qualified medical professional or veterinarian. Red light therapy should be viewed as a supportive or complementary approach, not a replacement for necessary medical care.

For safe and effective use, please note the following:

• Use professional, veterinarian-recognized devices with appropriate wavelength and power
• Follow our recommended usage frequency and guidelines
• Avoid direct exposure to the eyes and thyroid area

Do not use red light therapy:

• Over tumors or suspected tumor areas
• On pregnant mares

If your horse has a medical condition or you are unsure about proper use, consult your veterinarian before treatment.
