FAQ – Therapy
Red Light Therapy
Do I need eye protection?
Eyewear is optional but not required. The LEDs may appear very bright until your eyes are accustomed to the light. For this reason, we recommend closing your eyes until you find that it’s comfortable to open them. If you have any concerns, we recommend that you consult your trusted healthcare provider.
Why does it look like half the lights aren’t working?
The human eye can only see wavelengths of light up to 760 nm on average. Infrared devices use a wavelength of 850 nm for the near infrared LEDs making them invisible to the naked human eye.
Should my clothes be on or off?
You can wear clothes during your treatment sessions, or you can be nude. Just make sure the area of your body that you’re treating is fully exposed to the light and not covered by any clothing.
What is the difference between red and near infrared wavelengths?
Both red light at 660 nm and near infrared light at 850 nm have been proven to enhance cellular function. The main difference is that red light is readily absorbed by skin tissue, leading to improved skin health and collagen production. Near infrared light at 850 nm is invisible to the human eye and penetrates into deeper tissue, leading to benefits like increased muscle recovery and reduced joint pain.
Will the infrared interfere with the medications I use?
Hundreds of clinical studies have proven light therapy to be safe and effective. However, if you use medications such as Tetracycline, Digoxin, Retin A, and /or other photosensitizing drugs, it’s recommended that you consult your healthcare provider before using the Infraredi.
Is it safe for children to use the Infraredi?
Clinical studies have shown light therapy to be safe for children. However, we recommend consulting with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
How soon can I expect results?
The cellular benefits provided by the wavelengths in our products have been proven in many studies. Red and near infrared light are energy for your cells. Exposing your body to this light enhances your cells to function at a higher level. The human body is complex yet amazing! It is hard to predict the way your body will respond to photobiomodulation and how quickly you will see results. Your cells will decide what healing needs to take place first.
Is red light therapy safe?
Red light therapy is safe and has been clinically proven for the treatment of a variety of skin and pain management issues. Our Infraredi LEDs do not contain ultraviolet (UV) rays, so there is no risk of cancer-causing damage to skin tissue.
What are the side effects of red light therapy?
In general, side effects from red light therapy are rare. If they do occur, they typically involve temporary redness of the treated area. Side effects are minor and do not last long. Red light therapy treatment is non-invasive, painless, requires no recovery time, and can be used on all skin types and tones.
BrainTap
What’s BrainTap Therapy?

What is the science behind BrainTap?
The combined use of sound and light in BrainTap stimulates the brain’s auditory and visual pathways, enhancing the entrainment effect. This dual stimulation promotes deep relaxation, improved focus, and mental clarity by encouraging the brain to enter specific brainwave states associated with these benefits.
Is BrainTap neurofeedback?
Brain Tap is a powerful neurofeedback device that utilizes sound, frequency, meditation, and light to help reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. By connecting the meridians of your body and allowing the central nervous system to relax, Brain Tap can help you achieve a state of calmness and tranquility.
Does neurofeedback rewire your brain?
Neurofeedback works by rewarding the brain for producing optimal brain wave activity, helping the patient intuitively begin to use optimal brain circuitry in order to rewire neural pathways.
Does BrainTap actually work?
One thing that makes BrainTap therapy so effective is its use of binaural beats. These special tones are played at different frequencies in each ear, creating a third tone inside the brain that can help promote relaxation and mental clarity.

How long does BrainTap take to work?
BrainTap provides noticeable benefits after just one session, but a series of 10-20 sessions is often recommended for long-term results. Individual results vary, but users often report immediate relaxation, reduced stress, and improved mental clarity after the first session. Short-term benefits like better sleep, reduced anxiety, and improved focus typically appear within 1-2 weeks of regular use.
Does BrainTap help anxiety?
For starters, it can help reduce stress and anxiety. Many people report feeling significantly more relaxed after just one session. Additionally, BrainTap therapy can improve focus and concentration, which can be helpful for those struggling with ADHD or other attention-related issues.
What are the side effects of BrainTap?
Some individuals may experience discomfort or dizziness during or after using the device, particularly if they have a sensitivity to light or sound. Prolonged or intense exposure to certain frequencies or patterns of audio-visual stimulation could potentially trigger headaches or nausea in some users.
What are the contraindications for BrainTap?
There are no specific contraindications for the use of the Braintap headset. However, individuals with a history of seizures or epilepsy should consult their healthcare provider before using any light and sound stimulation devices, including the Braintap headset.
Hyperice NormaTec Compression Boots
What is the science behind NormaTec?
It works by using pneumatic compression pumps to stimulate blood flow through the limbs, resulting in reduced swelling and inflammation, faster muscle recovery, and prevention of delayed-onset muscle soreness. It helps move the ‘bad’ metabolic byproducts from the lower leg back into the circulatory system to be pumped throughout the body and replace it with ‘new’ and ‘freshly’ oxygenated blood, which promotes an environment for muscular healing and recovery.
What kind of therapy is NormaTec?
Normatec compression therapy is a valuable addition to the comprehensive range of services provided by Lifeline Physical Therapy. By harnessing the power of pneumatic compression, patients recover faster, have less pain, and an improvement in their overall well-being.
What is the technology behind Hyperice Normatec Compression Boots?
The Hyperice Normatec Legs utilizes dynamic air compression technology and a patented Pulse massage pattern to deliver a restorative massage that mimics the natural muscle pump of the legs. This system enhances blood flow, reduces muscle fatigue, and promotes faster recovery by flushing out metabolites and bringing oxygenated blood to the targeted areas. The device offers customizable settings, including zone-specific pressure and intensity levels, allowing for a personalized recovery experience.
Is NormaTec scientifically proven?
There’s plenty of research to prove that the NormaTec improves vascular and cellular functioning. In one study in particular the blood flow in the popliteal artery (at the back of your knee) increased by 402%!
Why is Hyperice NormaTec so special?
Because it delivers clinical-grade recovery, built with precision engineering, backed by science, and trusted by professionals. If you’re serious about fitness, investing in Normatec means investing in your performance, mobility, and long-term well-being.
