Excellent Red Light / NIR Wrap
I'll start by saying this: I was aware of the clinical benefits of red light therapy, but was always a bit skeptical. As such, I approached this with a keen awareness of the possibility of placebo effect. That said, I'm quite impressed with this device. The first thing I wanted to try was on my nagging elbow pain. It's pretty much a daily pain in the ECRB tendon area, which admittedly, I work out nearly every day and don't let it properly heal. Anyway ... I tried this wrap after using another first. The first one is good as well, except it's a little shorter, and even this one doesn't quite wrap around my elbow/arm - but I get it over the painful area okay.<br /><br />As for effectiveness ... After only three 20 minute sessions, I realized my elbow wasn't hurting AT ALL. Even when I did my workout that involved face-pulls, reverse flies, deadlifts and other pulling exercises, I felt not one bit of pain. I honestly can't explain it other than the red light / NIR therapy wrap works. I was so on guard for placebo effect, I don't think that's it. And it wasn't like I was waking up checking my elbow - I literally didn't even think to check and just noticed the pain-free movement incidentally when working out. I guess you could say I'm now a believer.<br /><br />This wrap is very well made and feels like a durable device that will last. The only downside is the price. I found a big red light / NIR therapy panel for almost half the price of this wrap, which is a far better LED to $$ ratio, but ... knowing what I know now and how it has completely worked for me, I'd pay this price for sure, to get one of these if I didn't already now have one. The value is something that's more personal to decide, but as for the quality and effectiveness of this, I definitely recommend it.
