NovoTHOR testimonial: Post Surgical Healing and Lymphedema

NovoTHOR: The whole-body light pod using Photobiomodulation Therapy“I was diagnosed with bilateral breast cancer in August 2015. My treatment plan was chemotherapy, double mastectomy and radiation therapy. Valerie is a friend from church who began discussing light therapy with me after I finished my chemotherapy treatments, before I had surgery. Valerie explained to me all the research that had been done and how light therapy has benefited many people.

I was very open minded about trying the treatment, so Valerie recommended visiting with my oncologist. I visited with my radiation oncologist, and he gave me permission to do the light therapy.

I did my first session prior to surgery, based on Valerie’s suggestion, to promote quicker healing. At first, prior to the surgery, I really couldn’t tell much difference. After surgery however, my surgeon was surprised at how quickly I was healing. I attribute this to the light therapy I had received prior to the surgery.

Another thing I noticed that made a huge physical difference as a result of doing the light treatments was that after surgery I could feel the fluid building up in my lymph node area. Immediately after a light therapy treatment, the fluid was gone! That’s when I realized the biggest difference the light therapy made.

I will definitely continue with light therapy until I am completely healed.”

Testimonial: Tor Gotun, DDS, General Dentist

Tor Gotun, DDS, General Dentist“I have undergone a hip replacement and the THOR treatment managed to close the incision in less than a week so I could go in the hot tub.
I had no bandage on from that point. I continued treatment for more 2 weeks. The result is that I will have my next hip this coming Monday, 2 months ahead of schedule!

The standard interval between replacing hips is 3 months. This is based on speed of healing as seen on radiographs, test of mobility, level of pain and the possibility of coagulation problems for the next surgery (thrombosis). I have no pain in the hip, no limp and all the testing shows great results.

Thanks to THOR I’m having my second one after only one month.”

NovoTHOR testimonial: Meagan.W – Dallas, TX, USA

National Level WeightlifterMeagan is a National Level Weightlifter who competes frequently. See her story and experience below after sessions on the NovoTHOR whole-body light pod. PR stands for Personal Record.

Wednesday 3/16:
Muscle Snatch Triple off a riser: PR working weight at 42 kg… Up 5 kilos from last week where I could only hit 37kg for working weight.

Thursday 3/17:
My 3/6 front squat/back squat combo I added 3 kilos from the previous Thursday- which is the most working I’ve ever done for this exercise at 91kg.

THEN I went on to do several reps of cleans and hit a 95kg Clean PR (9 kilos more than I did last week- heaviest clean I hit last week was 86kg.) This was halfway through my workout after doing a total of 117 reps. In Weightlifting a lot of volume can make your body feel tired & wrecked, so there was no explanation for why I was able to hit a PR on this exercise when my legs were fried.

Saturday 3/19: I hit a 3 kilo PR on my Power Clean & Jerk at 83kg

Sunday 3/20:
I added 2 kilos to my snatch triples from the blocks (59kg) from last week where I could only do 57kg.

I also did the most working weight I’ve ever done for Clean & Jerk Doubles at 83kg.

Monday 3/21:
Sumo Deadlift triple: 127kg PR (up 5 kilos from last Monday 3/14 I only could hit 122kg for 3)

Snatch Deadlift 5 rep: PR working weight for 5 at 91kg (2 kilos more than last Monday.)

Push Press+Push Jerk + Split Jerk Complex: 75kg (up 2kg from last Monday’s workout)

This part of my training cycle has been very strength intensive, so for me to even be coming close to hitting PRs is a huge deal. My body should be more fatigued and worn down from the strength work, but I actually feel recovered and fresh.

This is all thanks to the NovoTHOR light pod.

Testimonial: Victor Bruntnell

“I have been receiving treatment with one of your LLLT laser units by my pain consultants, who is unfortunately retiring from practice. But your product gave me a fantastic reduction in my pain. I stopped my medication for one week when normally i cannot go more than 6 hours without medication . I have been advised to purchase my own equipment and attend your training courses.

I have to say your PRODUCT IS FANTASTIC. I HAVE FILLED IN AN ADVISORY FORM TO PURCHASE MY OWN UNIT.
Many thanks, regards Victor Bruntnell, UK”
