About this site

Sandra Kouwenhoven, author of the paper and texts on this site, has a nursing background and lives with health complaints that limit her daily functioning. During her search for relief from her complaints, she came into contact with PBM. While delving into this subject, she noticed a clear discrepancy between the rapidly growing availability of PBM equipment on the consumer market and its limited application and recognition within regular medical practice.

With this website and paper, she aims to contribute to greater awareness of PBM among medical professionals and to draw attention to the need for careful, coordinated, and standardized research. The goal of this is to strengthen the scientific evidence base, so that it becomes possible to better assess which applications of PBM can genuinely find a place within healthcare, and which applications are responsible and worthwhile as self-treatment.

Sandra uses PBM herself, but due to the complexity of her health situation, she cannot make any claims about it that would be representative of any particular condition.
