How we rank
We rank panels by high-intensity NIR output (850nm), large treatment areas for full-body recovery, and durability for daily use. Athletic recovery panels need 200+ watts, modular designs for targeting multiple muscle groups simultaneously, and clinical-grade irradiance levels (100+ mW/cm²) that professional sports teams use for reducing recovery time between training sessions.
