Samantha Prabhu turns to red light therapy for chikungunya recovery
What's the story
South sensation Samantha Ruth Prabhu recently opened up about her experience with red light therapy as a treatment for joint pain caused by chikungunya.
The actor took to Instagram to share her relief, writing, "My joints couldn't be happier right now. #recoverymode #redlighttherapy."
This comes after her last post where she revealed suffering from severe joint pain due to the viral disease.
Fitness dedication
Prabhu's commitment to fitness amid health challenges
Red light therapy for joints is a treatment that uses low-wavelength red or near-infrared light to help reduce pain, and inflammation and promote healing in joint tissues.
Meanwhile, even with her health issues, Prabhu has stuck to her fitness regime.
She recently posted a picture of her working out at the gym and added a pinch of humor to it: "Recovering from Chikungunya is so fun. The joint pains and ALL."
