How did you come to test photobiomodulation?

When the RegenLife company presented this new technology to the French Senate, following initial studies by Drs. Chermann and Malafosse, I was invited to share my own story and explain the after-effects I had suffered for almost ten years due to a series of concussions (five have been identified) that forced me to stop my career in 2014. When the doctors heard my story, they invited me to join a small group of athletes, along with Cléopatre Darleux (goalkeeper for the French handball team) and Antoine Burban (former third row for Stade Français), suffering from persistent symptoms, to benefit from photobiomodulation treatment as part of a pre-study.
