Mitochondria are often called the “powerhouses” of the cell because they produce the energy that every cell needs to function. In muscle cells, this energy is essential for repairing microscopic damage that occurs during training or activity. Healthy, active mitochondria ensure that muscle fibres recover faster, grow stronger, and maintain flexibility.

ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) is the body’s cellular fuel. When ATP levels are high, cells can repair and regenerate more efficiently, which directly translates into stronger muscles, better endurance, and improved resilience to strain. For horses, this means not only faster recovery after exercise but also a reduced risk of overuse injuries.

Specific wavelengths of LED light penetrate tissue and are absorbed by the mitochondria. This stimulation increases ATP production, boosts circulation, and reduces inflammation, all without invasive procedures or medications. In essence, the treatment supports the horse’s own natural healing processes, helping the body do what it is already designed to do, but faster and more effectively.

For performance horses, LED Treatment helps optimise muscle function, enhance mobility, and shorten recovery time between training sessions or competitions. For horses in recovery, the same treatment promotes faster wound healing, reduces swelling, and supports tissue regeneration. Whether used proactively or rehabilitatively, LED by CHEVAL systems adapt to the horse’s individual needs.
