Red Light Therapy

Recovery at the cellular level while you simply lie back.

Red and near-infrared light use specific wavelengths of light that interact with the body's cells. The science is sophisticated; the experience isn't. Get comfortable, let the light surround you and give your body a few quiet minutes to recover.

The Benefits

Cellular Energy

Photobiomodulation is studied for its effects on mitochondrial function the cellular process involved in producing usable energy.

Muscle Recovery

Red and near-infrared light are being studied for their ability to support exercise recovery and reduce post- exercise soreness.

Healthy Inflammatory Response

Research suggests photobiomodulation can influence cellular signaling involved in inflammation and tissue recovery.

Skin + Circulation

Specific wavelengths of red light are also used and studied for skin health and local circulation.

WHO IT'S FOR

  • You Train Hard
For athletes and active adults looking for another tool between demanding sessions.
  • Your Body Feels Slow to Bounce Back
For people who want a passive modality focused on recovery rather than another workout.
  • You're Interested in Healthy Aging
For clients drawn to evidence-informed technologies that may support long-term cellular function.
  • You Don't Have Much Time
For days when you want recovery without needing to change clothes, sweat or exert yourself.

Get Comfortable

We'll help position you appropriately for the treatment and review eye-protection guidance.

Let the Light Work

The light is bright and may feel gently warm, but the session is passive and should not feel painfully hot.

Your Experience

Red light is one of the simplest experiences in the Recovery Lab. You settle into the treatment area, position yourself according to the equipment protocol and relax while the light does the work.

A Short Recovery Window

Use the session as permission to stop doing for a few minutes. No phone required.

Build Consistency

Red light is generally better thought of as a repeatable recovery practice than a dramatic one-time event. We'll help you understand an appropriate schedule for your goals.

The Science

Red light therapy is a form of photobiomodulation. Red and near-infrared wavelengths can be absorbed by cellular components involved in energy production and signaling. Evidence is still developing, so treat skin, recovery, and brain-health claims with caution.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does red light therapy hurt?
No. It is non-invasive. Most people experience bright light and mild warmth.
We provide protection but it’s not required.
You can actually use this daily. Benefits accumulate with use.
Please tell us before treatment. Certain medications and conditions can increase light sensitivity and may make red light inappropriate.
