1. A photobiomodulation therapy garment comprising:
a garment configured to be donned by a user atop a skin surface, the garment comprising a first surface and a second surface opposite the first surface, the first surface being configured to face the skin surface once the garment is donned, and
a photobiomodulation unit integrated within the garment, the photobiomodulation unit comprising a connection terminal, one or more near-infrared light sources, and one or more sensors, the connection terminal in electronic communication with the one or more near-infrared light sources and the one or more sensors, wherein the one or more near-infrared light sources is a low-level laser and each are configured to emit near-infrared light at a wavelength between 800 nm to 1200 nm and at a predetermined dosimetry,
a controller, the controller including a processor and a memory, the controller configured to operationally engage a terminal rail of the connection terminal in a manner that establishes electronic communication between the controller and the connection terminal;
wherein the first surface of the garment includes a first portion comprising one or more light openings, with each of the one or more near-infrared light sources being in operational alignment with the one or more light openings to permit proper passage of near-infrared light from the one or more near-infrared light sources therethrough,
wherein the first surface of the garment includes a second portion comprising one or more sensor openings with each of the one or more sensors being in operational alignment with the one or more sensor openings to permit proper functionality of the one or more sensors therethrough, and
wherein the processor and the memory are configured with executable instructions for independently controlling each of the one or more near-infrared light sources and each of the one or more sensors.
