Red Light Therapy

Around the start of 2025, I was doing deep dips on some bars in the park. I ended up tearing both my rotator cuffs, especially my right one, which had previously been injured throwing the football too much at a Halloween party in 2008.

After this, I found out about Dr. Kirsch and his "dead hang" protocol from a pullup bar, which I started doing around April 2025. It's now September 2025 and my rotator cuffs are almost back to 100%, except the right one has limited mobility and some pain still. But the pain has reduced at least 90%, it was excruciating pain when I started doing the Dr. Kirsch dead hang protocol. Now I barely feel any pain at all.

I have a Red Light Therapy RLT panel and have been using it on my right shoulder (front and back) about 15 to 30 minutes every night, for only the past week (since the start of September) and already my mobility in the right arm is now extremely increased.

Before this week, I couldn't put my right arm behind my back and reach very high up the back (and it was somewhat painful to do so), it was only half the mobility of the left arm up the back. Now from just one week of the Red Light Therapy, it doesn't hurt and it can almost reach the same height up the back as the left arm now.

Red Light Therapy and Scar Tissue in Rotator Cuff Injuries

How Red Light Therapy Works

Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of light to penetrate tissues. This process stimulates cellular activity, promoting healing and reducing inflammation. It is particularly effective for conditions like rotator cuff injuries, where scar tissue can limit mobility.

Benefits for Scar Tissue and Mobility

  • Pain Reduction: Red light therapy can alleviate pain associated with scar tissue in the shoulder, making movement easier.

  • Improved Circulation: The therapy enhances blood flow, which is crucial for healing damaged tissues and reducing stiffness.

  • Tissue Regeneration: It supports the body's natural healing processes, helping to regenerate nerves and tissues affected by scar formation.

  • Increased Range of Motion: Regular sessions can lead to improved flexibility and mobility in the shoulder joint, counteracting the restrictions caused by scar tissue.
