Effects of Photobiomodulation, Intermittent Pneumatic Compression and Neuromuscular Electrical Stimulation on Muscle Recovery: Systematic Review with Meta-Analysis. 2025.
This record summarizes category-level photobiomodulation evidence. It is not a clinical study of the rePretty Mat and should not be read as a product-specific treatment claim.
Protocol
What was reviewed or tested
PBM, compression, or electrical stimulation before or after exercise; PBM subgroup protocols varied.
Selected outcomes
What the record reports
- Low-certainty evidence suggested pre-exercise PBM reduced soreness and improved selected performance outcomes at follow-up.
Required reading
Limitations
- The review compared multiple modalities and PBM protocols rather than one standardized treatment.
- Low certainty and protocol variability limit direct consumer recommendations.
