Short Redefinition
The science of using red and near-infrared light to stimulate cellular energy (ATP), reduce inflammation, and accelerate recovery. In a Performance Lifestyle®, it’s a core technology for reversing energy debt and upgrading bioenergetic function—especially in the Recovery Chamber experience.
Popularly known as “Red Light Therapy.”
Long Redefinition
Photobiomodulation (PBM or PBMt) is the therapeutic use of red, near-infrared, and green light to improve cellular function. It works by stimulating cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondria, which charges the water around the cell nucleus and the heme in the blood, thereby boosting ATP production, enhancing oxygen utilization, and triggering downstream effects such as reduced inflammation, tissue repair, and immune support.
However, while the science is well-established, most people still view red light therapy as a wellness trend or spa tool.
In the context of a Performance Lifestyle®, photobiomodulation isn’t optional or indulgent—it’s a foundational technology that helps exit energy debt fast, accelerate systemic recovery, and restore the body’s ability to regenerate from the inside out.
At Performany, PBM is central to the Recovery Chamber experience and often the first tool used in Jumpstart Recovery or BioVitality protocols. Its non-invasive application allows for deep, cellular-level restoration without added stress to the system—making it ideal for strivers in depleted states or those needing fast-track reentry to the Optimal Performance State™.
Whether used as part of a Recovery Stack, before high-output training, or post-travel, photobiomodulation is how you recharge your biology in real-time—and live the power within, better.
