Red Light Therapy

Red light therapy is a treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to promote healing, reduce inflammation, and improve skin health. It’s a non-invasive procedure where red light is directed on the skin or other areas of the body. At Fick PT & Performance, we are delighted to be able to offer our patients PlatinumLED red light therapy – a pioneer and leader of ultra-higher power red therapy lights.

For our patients, these lights can be used to support recovery from injuries, reduce muscle and joint pain, enhance circulation, and even improve cellular energy production. This could result in faster recovery times and improved overall outcomes in our rehabilitation treatment plans. The devices are also versatile, allowing them to be used for localized treatment of specific injuries or more general therapy across larger areas of the body.    

PlatinumLED is highly regarded in the market for its powerful output and customizable wavelength options, which can provide significant benefits to patients. One of the primary advantages of using these devices is their effectiveness in alleviating pain, while also aiding muscle recovery. The light penetrates deep into the tissues, helping to reduce inflammation and alleviate pain associated with conditions such as arthritis, joint pain, and muscle soreness. Athletes and active individuals can particularly benefit from this therapy as it can speed up recovery after intense workouts or injuries by promoting faster muscle repair and reducing fatigue.

At Fick PT, we commonly see athletes who experience muscle soreness due to microtears after intense workouts. PlatinumLED red light therapy emits the highest amount of irradiance output than any other LED therapy light available. This means faster, better results through deeper penetration and increased power. 

Another significant benefit for athletes who work with us is that you won’t only recover from injuries quicker but your physical performance will also improve. Regular use of red-light therapy can increase cellular energy production, leading to better endurance and strength. All BIOMAX lights are official FDA Class II Medical Devices which means they are certified for safety and effectiveness. It has been proven that red light therapy can optimize cellular function, leading to improved workout efficiency so you can push the limits of your body’s capabilities during training sessions. This can translate into better overall performances, whether in competitive sports or personal fitness goals.   

By integrating PlatinumLED into our practice, we can offer cutting-edge light therapy as a complement to traditional physical therapy techniques, potentially leading to more effective and efficient treatment for patients.

Align PEMF Therapy

Fick PT & Performance is proud to be an affiliate of ALIGN MAT and is another tool we have at our disposal to help in recovery and sports performance. ALIGN MAT is at the forefront of holistic wellness technology. Distinguished as the only PEMF mat on the market programmed with Schumann Resonance frequencies, it is specifically designed to transition your body from a state of stress to relaxation and recovery in seconds without learning breathing techniques or how to mandate. Using a unique combination of full-body infrared (FIR) heat, energy center harmonizing crystals, and low intensity PEMF therapy, it’s more than just a wellness product; it’s an experience that nurtures and rejuvenates.

We have integrated ALIGN MAT with our practice because of its incredible muscle recovery properties. After rigorous workouts or sports activities, muscles can become tight and sore due to overuse and strain. The ALIGN MAT uses acupuncture points to stimulate blood flow and release tension in the muscles, which can significantly reduce soreness and accelerate recovery. This allows athletes to return to their training routines more quickly and with less discomfort, helping them stay on track with their fitness goals.

What makes the ALIGN Mat unique from other PEMF technologies on the market is due to its Organic Schumann Resonance Mimicking (OSRM) Technology, which replicates the Earth’s natural grounding frequencies. It’s also larger than most mats on the market, accommodating a wider range of body types and allowing for a more immersive experience.

At Fick PT & Performance, its use isn’t solely tailored for injury recovery, we use it as an effective tool for injury prevention. By regularly using the mat to target areas of tightness and discomfort, our athletes can prevent the development of chronic pain and injuries that might result from muscle imbalances or poor recovery practices. The mat’s ability to improve circulation and relieve tension helps to maintain muscle elasticity and joint health, reducing the likelihood of strains, sprains, and other common injuries.
