A naturally occurring chemical in the body, nitric oxide is a key signalling molecule which can set off a number of beneficial effects. Most notably, it has a critical role in <strong>promoting blood flow<\/strong> to tissues and <strong>increasing lymphatic drainage<\/strong>. Through the increase in lymphatic drainage, light therapy indirectly <strong>inhibits inflammation<\/strong> processes and thus <strong>reduces swelling<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Red and infrared light therapy is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates the body\u2019s own healing mechanisms through both molecular signalling and circulatory modulation, thereby helping to reduce non-chronic or acute pain associated with running injuries. Once the LED light has increased the cell\u2019s energy production, each cell within the treated area begins producing new cells to replace the cells of the injured tissue.[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"vcex-spacing wpex-w-100 wpex-clear\" style=\"height:30px\"><\/div>[\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_column_text]Whether you\u2019re a casual social runner or a serious athlete, suffering from a running-related injury can seriously set back your fitness levels and performance.
