#90 - Optimizing the Photizo: The New Flexible LED Pad

I was very excited to hear about the new Photizo Flexible LED Pad, and grabbed it as soon as I could. I use the Photizo handheld device daily for my elderly dogs and for me when I need it and was keen to try this pad for more coverage and perhaps ease of use.

As our dogs get older, well and we get older the bits that need help get more widespread!

Within hours of its arrival after giving it a whirl on Seren my elderly springer spaniel I was using it for myself when after months of marathon training I tripped on a dog walk and I suspect I have torn the top of one of my hamstrings!

The pad comes with a booklet to explain how to use it however, it does explain adequately why or how to choose between the different settings. So I’ve done the digging to find out how to truly optimize this tech. Whether you are treating a senior dog with aches and pains or using it on your own hamstrings, here is the science-backed way to get results.
