Light Therapy: It’s so easy, even a 4 year old can do it!

I’ve been a Light Therapist for a few years now and the one thing that still has me flabbergasted about Light Therapy is the phenomenal results people and animals receive from a modality that is noninvasive and so easy to use. Even children as young as 4 years old can shine a light on their body, or practice putting light on others, as we see in this video.

My family uses light every day on themselves, the horses, and the dog. We love knowing neither the child applying the light, nor the animal or human receiving the light will be affected negatively. It’s so versatile because light is nothing more than light, and tissue is still tissue whether it’s a human or a cat. And if a 4 year old can do it, than so can an adult.

4 year old can do it from Photonic Therapy Institute on Vimeo.
