James Carroll interviewed on The PEMF Podcast about Photobiomodulation

Posted on 8 March 2026 by Ian


The interview starts at 1:30 minute mark.

The PEMF Podcast sat down with James Carroll, a Photobiomodulation (PBM) pioneer with nearly 40 years in the field, to separate real science from marketing hype. From irradiance and wavelength selection to dose-response curves and proper measurement standards, James explains why many popular consumer devices fail to deliver therapeutic levels of light despite impressive claims.

Questions James was asked: Are red light masks, blankets and handheld wands actually doing anything? Or are most people underdosing without realising it?

The PEMF Podcast dive into what photobiomodulation really means (and why it’s not just “red light therapy”), the three core biological mechanisms behind its effects, and why anti-inflammatory outcomes are the most consistently supported in the research. James also shares inside insights from testing popular devices, discusses why masks and blankets often miss the mark, and explains how proper dosing is more like cooking than simply multiplying power by time. A must-listen for anyone serious about red and near-infrared light therapy especially before buying your next device.

Course Testimonial: Ian Reed

Ian Reed - PBM Therapy Clinic, Derbyshire, UK“Our PBM Therapy Clinic in Derby UK has been using THOR products exclusively – both the LX2’s and NovoTHOR whole bed light bed since 2020. Our clinicians have attended the 8hr seminar every year since (in person or more lately via teams). In my opinion it’s the best place in a short period of time to start to get to grips with ‘how it all works, why and what does it help’. James certainly is a seasoned speaker and has a presentation style that is easy to follow. The slides are all evidence based and there is ample opportunity to ask questions via chat in teams.

Each time we take the course we reinforce our previous knowledge and get exposed to new evidence as the seminar changes each year. We have integrated PBM Therapy into our daily MSK practice as Chiropractors but also have expanded our practice to include many conditions that you would not normally expect a Chiropractor to be able to help with e.g. skin healing, Oral mucositis treatment and prevention.”

NovoTHOR testimonial: Tony Hancock

Posted on 10 November 2024 by Ian

Tony Hancock, Nurse PractitionerHi my name is Tony Hancock.
In 2020, I was struck by a car while riding my bicycle during a training ride. I fractured my femur bone and required emergent surgery for hip pinning. After a long recovery I was able to return to cycling again however the myofascial pain and Sacroiliac iliac joint pain continued until I found NovoTHOR full body red light therapy bed. I am now completely pain free. I owe a big debt of gratitude to the founder of NovoTHOR and for making this technology available.

Sincerely
Tony Hancock, Nurse Practitioner
