PHOTONIC RED LIGHT OVERVIEW

Since the early 1980s, Photonic Red Light Therapy has been used in the horse world for treating equine concerns and helping owners and trainers keep their horses in top shape.  The tissues and cells of the body readily absorb red light at specific wavelengths. Visible red light at 660nm is absorbed by the skin very efficiently and is quite safe to use to stimulate acupuncture points, trigger points and for the accelerated healing of wounds. The red lights used are not lasers or infrareds.  There have been no known reports of adverse side effects regarding Photonic Red Light therapy.

Dianne Jenkins is a professional Equine Performance Therapist & Master JENT Bodyworker who works and teaches in Australia, Ireland, UK, Canada and USA.  Her skills in gait analysis and how to evaluate the primary issues affecting each horse individually make her work and teaching much sort after.

All horse owners, trainers as well as professional therapists can learn effective methods of applying red light which is complimentary to veterinary medicine and all other known therapies.
