Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) reduce pain and lower inflammation. While that sounds appealing, reducing acute (also known as functional) inflammation is counter-productive because it impairs the body’s natural recovery processes.  In other words, popping a few ibuprofen after an intense workout slows down recovery and leads to further degradation of cartilage tissue. While impairing acute inflammation is bad, studies have shown that the chronic use of NSAIDs can actually promote chronic inflammation. That’s really bad and reason enough to remove NSAIDs from your medicine cabinet. Move+ Pro (and photobiomodulation in general) has no such side effects, and it doesn’t negatively impair acute inflammatory processes. Instead, Move+ promotes oxygenated blood flow to allow the body to quickly heal the affected tissue.
