Disclosure : These trials were completed using only THOR LX2 hand-held PBM Therapy machines. THOR did not fund these trials, nor did THOR compensate the researchers, participants, or anyone else involved in any way — financially or otherwise. A NovoTHOR is very different to a hand held device in that a NovoTHOR is a whole body therapy, providing PBM therapy from head to toe, not just to a SINGLE muscle group – which was the methodology used in these trials. Imagine what the results would have been with the whole body NovoTHOR?
Published Evidence
There are Random Controlled Trials (RCT’s) and lab studies published that show that PBM Therapy can be used in sport performance and injury repair. Almost half of these studies used THOR products. The full data base can be searched on the PBM Therapy database at Pubmed
