I have been competing in dog sledding for over 16 years, with a main focus on leash running – cross-country running with a dog – a discipline that places high demands on both dog and handler. When I started I was very young, but now that I am approaching 30 I notice how important it is to be smarter with both training and recovery to be able to develop further and perform without injuries .
I had been watching light treatment previously, but found it difficult to understand how it actually worked. Therefore, it seemed a bit "too good to be true". My first encounter with QWave was actually through Darren Stainsby . Right from the start I realized that he has an incredible amount of knowledge, and the products reflect this – they are easy to use, based on Research and developed to actually work.
After a season with many injuries and accidents – especially with the dogs – I was very motivated to find solutions that could help us.
Qwave LED Torch is the product I use most on my dogs. It is perfect for small wounds on the paws or cuts after the dogs have run loose in the woods. The blue light helps reduce bacterial growth, while the red light stimulates wound healing The result is that injuries heal faster, and dogs can return to activity sooner.
For myself, I use mostly Qwave LED Wrap after hard training sessions to support the recovery. Since I work alongside training and competition, it is not always easy to find the perfect balance between workload and recovery Therefore, solutions such as QWave important in helping me stay injury-free and ready for the next session.
At the same time, I can also use the wrap on my dogs with the same effect After knowing how well it works on my own body, it feels extra good to be able to give it the same the treatment to my dogs – and knowing that it can help them feel even better.
Even though training and recovery is the main reason I use QWave , one of the things I like most is how versatile the products are. I can use them for almost anything. From testing Blue light on pimples to use Red light against inflammation or pain in various areas – it is simply a tool which can be used for an incredible number of things.
