Red Light Therapy
Trigger your muscles natural bio-chemistry to reduce pain, soreness, and speed up recovery.
The Technology
Red Light Therapy, is also called PhotoBioModulation (PBM). It works at the cellular level to harnesses the healing properties of light. This is a natural way to stimulate your cells.
Plants cells absorb energy from sunlight.
Likewise, red light provides beneficial, UV-free light to human cells.
Specific wavelengths of light are clinically proven to support faster cellular regeneration.
Energy & Mitochondria
The mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell. That is to say, it’s where the cell’s energy is created.
Therapeutic light delivers energy to your cell’s mitochondria. Clinical research shows it enhances beneficial cell signaling.
With better functioning mitochondria, a cell can produce more ATP (adenosine triphosphate). This is the energy-carrying molecule found in the cells of all living things.
Cellular Healing
Cells can heal and recover faster when they have more ATP from light.
That same light also signals cells to increase protein synthesis. This helps the cell repair itself.
To sum up, Photobiomodulation uses red and infrared wavelengths of light to:
- Boost cellular energy levels
- Relieve minor pain and swelling
- Improve energy, mood, and feelings of wellness

What to expect
Our FDA approved devices deliver safe, therapeutic light to your body.
They utilize specific wavelengths and doses proven to enhance recovery and healing.
First, the light is aimed a few inches from your body at the target area.
Second, you receive 5-20 minutes of treatment depending on the goal.
The whole process is completely non-invasive, painless, and natural.
Most people find the therapy to be gently warming and relaxing.
No. Photobiomodulation appears to be safe. It is not associated with any side effects, at least if used short-term and as directed.
Specific wavelengths have been proven safe and to have therapeutic benefits.
The devices do not emit UV light like the sun or tanning booths. That UV light can be harmful.
Is Red Light Therapy the same as an infrared sauna?
No. While there are some similarities, photobiomodulation is tuned to specific wavelengths. These are clinically proven to help cells recover faster.
Our FDA approved devices also deliver a targeted and stronger dosage of light in less time.
Is Red Light Therapy Based on Science?
Yes. Photo bio modulation is a natural intervention. It is backed by over a decade of use and thousands of peer-reviewed research studies.
Research studies and years of experience in sports indicate that red light therapy can stimulate tendon regeneration. It can also reduce pain and inflammation.
PBM has been most effective in superficial tendons such as the achilles, patellar, elbow, and rotator cuff.
Can Everyone Do PhotoBioModulation?
As a proven safe modality, it great for most healthy people. With that said, there are some conditions when we don’t recommend red Light Therapy including;
- pregnancy and
- epilepsy,
- photo-allergy,
- medications that cause light sensitivity (such as Tetracycline)
- currently taking steroids or cortisone injections
