DO THIS TO IMPROVE YOUR PERFORMANCE & RECOVERY

Published January 6th, 2026 by Camarata Chiropractic

The Red Light Therapy Advantage for Athletes, Fitness, and Recovery

If you’re training hard, staying active, or pushing your body in sports, fitness, or daily life—and you’re not prioritizing recovery—you’re leaving performance on the table.

One of the most powerful (and often overlooked) tools for performance enhancement and optimized recovery is red light therapy.

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, we work with athletes, active individuals, and wellness-focused adults from North Chili, Chili, Churchville, Spencerport, and throughout Monroe County and Rochester, NY who want to move better, recover faster, and perform at a higher level—without drugs or downtime.



Why Performance Depends on Recovery

Performance isn’t just built in the gym or on the field—it’s built between sessions.

True performance gains require:

  • Efficient muscle recovery

  • Reduced inflammation

  • Healthy joints and connective tissue

  • Optimized cellular energy

  • A balanced nervous system

This is where red light therapy shines—because it works at the cellular and mitochondrial level, not just the surface.


What Is Red Light Therapy (and Why Athletes Are Using It)?

Red light therapy—also known as photobiomodulation—uses specific red and near-infrared wavelengths to stimulate the mitochondria inside your cells.

Mitochondria produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the energy currency your muscles, joints, and nervous system rely on for:

  • Strength output

  • Endurance

  • Tissue repair

  • Recovery speed

More ATP = better performance potential and faster recovery.


Performance Benefits of Red Light Therapy Before Exercise or Sport

Using red light therapy before training or competition may help prime the body for performance.

Potential pre-activity benefits include:

  • Improved muscle readiness and flexibility

  • Enhanced circulation and oxygen delivery

  • Increased cellular energy availability

  • Reduced stiffness and restriction

  • Better neuromuscular activation

Many athletes report feeling looser, more mobile, and more prepared going into workouts, practices, or games after red light therapy.


Recovery Benefits of Red Light Therapy After Exercise or Sport

This is where red light therapy truly separates itself.

Using red light therapy after physical activity may support:

  • Faster muscle recovery

  • Reduced post-exercise soreness

  • Inflammation regulation

  • Improved tissue repair

  • Joint and connective tissue support

  • Nervous system down-regulation

Because red light therapy works without heat and without stress on the body, it can be used frequently and consistently, even during intense training cycles.


Quad-Wavelength Full-Body Therapy = Total Performance Support

The Trifecta Pro 450 delivers full-body red light therapy using quad-wavelength photobiomodulation (630–940nm), allowing multiple tissue layers to be supported at once:

  • Skin and fascia

  • Muscles and connective tissue

  • Joints, ligaments, and tendons

  • Nerves and deep cellular structures

This full-body exposure is ideal for athletes and active adults who don’t just stress one area—they stress their entire system.


Backed by Research—Don’t Take Our Word for It

If you want to go deeper into the science, we encourage you to do exactly this:

👉 Head to Google Scholar
👉 Search:

  • red light therapy benefits for performance

  • red light therapy benefits for recovery

You’ll find pages upon pages of research studies and articles examining how photobiomodulation influences muscle performance, fatigue resistance, inflammation, and recovery markers.

This technology isn’t hype—it’s being studied, refined, and used worldwide.


We Don’t Just Talk the Talk—We Use It Ourselves

At Camarata Chiropractic & Wellness, we don’t recommend technologies we don’t believe in.

Our team—including Dr. Sam and his family—uses red light therapy daily to support:

  • Recovery from long days caring for patients

  • Training and workouts

  • Muscle and joint comfort

  • Inflammation management

  • Energy, sleep, skin health, body composition and nervous system balance

We love the benefits—and that’s why we brought this advanced technology into our office for our patients and community.


Who Should Be Using Red Light Therapy for Performance?

Red light therapy is ideal for:

  • Athletes of all levels

  • Active adults and weekend warriors

  • Fitness enthusiasts and gym-goers

  • Runners, golfers, lifters, cyclists, and team sport athletes

  • Anyone who wants to recover faster and perform better

If you train, move, or push your body—you can benefit.
