Spring into Relief: How Laser Therapy Supports Your Body During the Winter-to-Spring Transition

As the snow melts and the days grow longer, many of us feel a natural pull to move more, breathe deeper, and shake off the heaviness of winter. But for your body, this transition isn’t always smooth.

After months of cold weather, reduced activity, or lingering stiffness, the return to movement and outdoor activity can come with some unwelcome companions—soreness, inflammation, and the flare-up of chronic pain. At ONE80 Health, we see spring not just as a season of renewal, but as a key moment for preventative care and physical recalibration.

One of the most effective tools we use to support this seasonal shift is laser therapy, also known as photobiomodulation—a non-invasive, drug-free approach that uses light to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and help the body heal from the inside out.

Reintroducing Movement: Easing the Body Out of Winter

Winter often leads to tight muscles, sluggish circulation, and reduced movement. This physical slowdown can create tension and imbalance in the body—even if you’ve stayed relatively active.

When spring hits and you start to return to gardening, hiking, biking, or simply walking more often, those dormant aches and underlying issues can suddenly surface. It’s common to feel like your body is “catching up,” and sometimes, it protests.

Laser therapy helps ease that transition, by:

• Improved circulation, brought about by widening of capillaries and arteries
• Managing inflammation that may have developed during the winter months
• Supporting joint mobility and flexibility
• Helping the body adapt to increased activity without unnecessary pain or injury

How Laser Therapy Works: Science that Supports Natural Healing

Laser therapy works at the cellular level by delivering specific wavelengths of light deep into the tissues. This light is absorbed by the mitochondria—the energy centers of your cells—triggering a natural biological process that enhances healing and reduces inflammation.

Here’s what happens during and after treatment:

• ATP production increases, fueling faster tissue repair
• Blood flow improves, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to the area
• Inflammation is reduced, as metabolic waste and inflammatory chemicals are flushed out
• Nerve sensitivity decreases, helping to break the cycle of chronic or acute pain

What makes this therapy especially effective is that it doesn’t mask symptoms—it addresses the root cause of pain and dysfunction while supporting your body’s ability to heal and regulate itself.

Reducing Inflammation and Pain as You Return to Movement

As you begin moving more in the spring, laser therapy can help you feel more mobile, energized, and capable. Many of the individuals we see at this time of year are looking for just that—a way to reconnect with their body and feel good in motion again.

Laser therapy can be especially helpful for:

• Arthritic joints that feel more inflamed after a season of inactivity
• Tendons and ligaments under strain from gardening, home projects, or workouts
• Back and neck tension caused by postural habits or cold-weather bracing
• Old injuries that tend to resurface during seasonal shifts
• Exercise recovery, helping reduce soreness and improve tissue resilience

When used proactively, laser therapy becomes more than a treatment—it becomes a form of maintenance and preparation, helping your body perform better and recover faster as you ramp up your activity.
