The
Therapeutic
light package picks above and below
show products I prefer.
This Dynaflex Power Ball started out as Manual Power about a
year ago. One day we've got an email from the inventor if we wanted to
review a free sample. We very much wanted, indeed ...
Whether it is a Dynaflex, NatureBright, Apollo Golite, Lumen, Bioptron
or Sunrise
Systems -- you find various light therapy models from these
popular brands that
recieved
the best reviews.
I am holding our trusted Bioptron handheld. It is best
stored in the safe box shown and comes with a very good and clear
manual. It
is a precise and well-designed Swiss product.
We use it for speeding up skin scar tissue healing.
After a little persuasion and now that they tried, our best friends
occasionally borrow it too.
Some of the other more unique products include:
- NatureBright PER3 dawn simulation and light box combo for SAD
- Light Therapy Lumen (most owners just call "Lumen") Photon
Infrared Therapy for pain relief. Reviewers tested for hands and wrist arthritis
and recovery from bone
bruising.

Motivational LED light In Rehabilitative Resistance Ball
The idea of the Manual Power, now branded as Powerball is as
captivating as it is simple. The motivation to keep going strong is
coming from the brightness of the LED which gets stronger as the ball
is spinning faster.
Its top speed is an unbelievable 16,000 rotation per minute. And for
serious sports enthusiasts it can generate up tp 40lbs on the hands and
arms.
It takes your wrist through the
natural
motion sequences while fluidly adding resistance as you build up your
grip stronger and stronger.
Excercise your finger, wrist forearm all the way up to the shoulder and
down to the hip with a simple giro motion. The poweful and fluid giro
motion will help in gentle rehabilitation of carpal tunnel syndrome
(CTS), repetitive strain injury (RSI) arthritis, tendonitis,
or This will help soften tennis, golf elbow and steel that golf grip.
Light Therapy for SAD
As a
light box
you may want to use
Apollo Golite M2 that has the groundbraking LED
BluWave technology.
It was
researched and developed by the
same company who distributes them.
But chose the
NatureBright
SunTouch if you are too
sensitive to bright
blue LEDs.
NatureBright PER3
is a versatile light therapy combining
dawn simulation with the light box
funcion. And the design is very flexible making it very adjustable to
your
daily needs.
NatureBright and
Sunrise Systems also offers
dawn simulation
devices with LED light. But
if you like your existing bedside lamp and just want to plug in new
funcions you can do that too. They offer the necessary
'go-between'
package.
For therapy with polarised halogen light to
help heal skin scar tissue
I personally
recommend the
Swiss
Bioptron product. I have this for a long time now and we
use it in the family, and occasionally, friends too. ;-)
(If you want to use if for a smaller child or your hands are not that
steady anymore, buy the one with a stand, so it is not too difficult to
hold.)
Per LED color and Use
In terms of function and
light usage, among others the following portable devices are availiable.
Bright blue or white LED or white
compact fluorescent light

Learn about SAD Light therapy From Good Books ...
to avoid disappointment
I would suggest in any case you consult your physician.
But judging from the many and
varied owner experiences I learned, buy and read a book also,
to avoid disappointment.
That said, the following books are
well-reviewed, practical
and packed with useful
information.
As an example of what you
will learn:
some may experience a little worsening of the symptoms in the first
week
or so. According to the book and others experiences it can be normal
and part of the treatment. It may only require a little
patience on your part.
Again,
read reviews and choose the book relevant to your problem.
Now, the two books I listed
are
highly
acclaimed and so they should be a great additional
