Red light isn’t new in vet rehab. If you’ve ever visited a veterinary rehabilitation center, you may have seen photobiomodulation (PBM), the technical name for red and near-infrared light therapy, on the menu.
Many rehab practices use it as one tool among several, often alongside things like therapeutic exercise, hydrotherapy, and manual therapy, to support dogs and cats dealing with joint stiffness or recovering from surgery. 🩺
The key word is supportive. In a rehab setting, light is typically a complement to a plan built by a vet or rehab professional, not a stand-alone fix. Every pet’s plan looks different, and the vet decides what goes in it.
