Also known as Photobiomodulation Light Therapy
Photobiomodulation, also known as light therapy, uses specific wavelengths of red, near-infrared, and blue light to stimulate cellular responses within the body. These wavelengths interact with the mitochondria—often referred to as the “powerhouse” of the cell—supporting energy production and cellular communication.
Photobiomodulation helps reduce inflammation and discomfort by improving circulation and calming overactive inflammatory responses. Targeted red and near-infrared light supports joint health, muscle recovery, and chronic pain management—without medications or invasive treatments.
PBM works at the cellular level by stimulating the mitochondria—the energy producers of the cell. This process supports increased ATP production, helping the body generate more energy, recover faster, and function more efficiently at a foundational level.
Photobiomodulation supports the body’s natural repair processes by increasing oxygenation and cellular communication. It is commonly used to aid muscle recovery, joint repair, skin health, and overall tissue regeneration, making it valuable for both injury recovery and ongoing wellness support.

My experience with the Firefly unit was phenomenal. After three restful sessions, I noticed achy muscles relax, inflammation in my chest go down, and my face felt like it had just received a facial. Even days later, I could tell some inflammation in my body had lessened and I felt generally more relaxed. Toni has an amazing gift for simplifying the diagnosis information and offering helpful suggestions. She’s knowledgeable, gracious, and easy to talk to. A wonderful experience- I highly recommend it!
