During a period of lack of use, a person risks muscle atrophy and/or otherwise losing muscle strength/functionality. During such a period of lack of user, a photoceutical can be applied to the person’s muscle(s) through a photoceutical medical device to decrease the occurrence of these risks. The photoceutical is specially configured to reduce these risks and includes at least one of a pulsed light signal, a continuous light signal, and a super-pulsed light signal.

A therapy system includes a therapy output device that includes light sources and a controller. The light sources are configured to output electromagnetic radiation at different peak wavelengths. The controller is configured to operate the light sources to output the electromagnetic radiation to differ between a first therapy program and second therapy program by at least one of peak wavelengths, irradiance of one or more of the peak wavelengths, or energy density of the one or more peak wavelengths.

In one aspect, embodiments relate to a system for preventative dental laser treatment that ensures even irradiation of a laser beam. The system includes, a laser arrangement configured to generate the laser beam. The laser beam has one or more of a super-Gaussian energy profile and a transverse ring mode.

The present invention involves a programmable or static multiwavelength LED lighting fixture that is capable of emitting wavelengths of light both for visual perception and other key physiological processes. The lighting fixture produces emitted spectra, wherein one portion of the emitted spectra serves visual perception and at least one portion of the emitted spectra is selected from the group consisting of 290-315 nm; 360-400 nm; 470-490 nm; and 600-1400 nm.

This invention relates to a ceramic module for assembly into a therapeutic device for treating a human or animal body with irradiation of far infrared. More specifically, said ceramic module can simultaneously emit blackbody-like thermal radiation and stimulated FIR-photons radiation in 3-16 μm wavelength spectrum, while the overall radiation in 8-14 μm wavelength range is measured to be an approximated blackbody radiation at a temperature that is at least 1 °K. (or 1 °C.) higher than the actual body temperature of said ceramic module, signifying an effective emissivity greater than 1.0. Said ceramic module may be used alone or serve as components of a therapeutic device for increasing physiologic performance, immune competence, health, and mean lifespan of human or animal.

A massage chair includes a seat portion, a back portion a leg portion, and a massage carriage configured to move within the seat portion, the back portion, and the leg portion. The massage carriage includes comprises a percussive massage assembly comprising a motor, a reciprocating shaft coupled to the motor and configured to reciprocate in response to activation of the motor, and a reciprocating massage head coupled to the reciprocating shaft. The massage chair also includes a support mechanism associated with the percussive massage assembly. The support mechanism is configured to support a weight of a user of the massage chair, thereby allowing the reciprocating shaft and the reciprocating massage head of the percussive massage assembly to reciprocate.
