The Science

How Recovery PTx™ Works in Clive, Iowa

Near-infrared light penetrates deep into muscle tissue, where research suggests it may stimulate mitochondria to support increased ATP production. This process is associated with the body's natural removal of metabolic waste, reduced inflammatory markers, and repair of micro-tears in muscle fibers. The Dahlia delivers a full-body session in 15 minutes, getting you back to training feeling better.
