At Body for Life, our professional-grade Red Light Therapy system uses a combination of red and near-infrared light wavelengths designed to support the body’s natural recovery and wellness processes. Whether you’re recovering from training, managing general muscle fatigue or simply looking to optimise your health and wellbeing, Red Light Therapy can be incorporated into your recovery routine.
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light that are absorbed by the body’s cells.
These wavelengths are used to support natural cellular function, circulation and the body’s recovery processes. Research suggests red and near-infrared light may help support ATP (cellular energy) production, which plays an important role in how the body repairs and recovers.
Unlike UV light, Red Light Therapy does not tan the skin or cause skin damage.
Originally popular among athletes and sporting professionals, Red Light Therapy has become increasingly common among people looking to support recovery, performance, mobility and overall wellbeing.
What Can Red Light Therapy Help Support?
Red Light Therapy is commonly used as part of a broader recovery and wellness program to support:
- Muscle recovery after exercise
- General muscle soreness and fatigue
- Joint stiffness and mobility
- Recovery between training sessions
- Sports performance and recovery
- Circulation and blood flow
- Physical wellbeing and wellness routines
- Healthy skin appearance
- Recovery-focused treatment plans
- General health and wellbeing
Many people incorporate Red Light Therapy into their routine following exercise, massage therapy or chiropractic care as part of a comprehensive recovery approach.
Individual experiences may vary, and treatment outcomes differ from person to person.
Red Light Therapy, Massage & Chiropractic Care
Red Light Therapy is becoming an increasingly popular addition to chiropractic and massage treatments, particularly for people experiencing muscle tension, joint discomfort, stiffness or post-exercise soreness.
When used alongside chiropractic care, Red Light Therapy may help support the surrounding muscles, ligaments and soft tissues by promoting circulation and the body’s natural recovery processes. Many clients choose to include Red Light Therapy after an adjustment as part of their ongoing recovery plan.
It can also be an excellent complement to remedial massage and soft tissue treatments. Following massage therapy, Red Light Therapy may help support circulation, relaxation and tissue recovery, helping clients feel refreshed and recovered.
Whether used as a standalone service or combined with other treatments, Red Light Therapy provides a relaxing, non-invasive way to support overall wellbeing and recovery.
What Are the Benefits of Red Light Therapy?
Many clients choose Red Light Therapy because it is:
- Non-invasive and painless
- Drug-free
- Relaxing and comfortable
- Suitable for most fitness and activity levels
- Quick and convenient
- Easy to incorporate into an existing recovery routine
- Performed with no downtime afterwards
Why Choose Body for Life for Red Light Therapy?
At Body for Life, we use a professional-grade full-body Red Light Therapy panel that combines both red and near-infrared wavelengths.
Unlike smaller consumer devices, our system is designed to deliver treatment across larger areas of the body during a single session, making treatment efficient and convenient.
Whether you’re an athlete, active individual, office worker or simply looking to prioritise your wellbeing, our team can help you incorporate Red Light Therapy into a personalised recovery plan.
What Happens During a Red Light Therapy Session?
During your session, you’ll relax comfortably in front of our professional-grade full-body Red Light Therapy panel while the light is directed towards the treatment area.
Sessions are painless, relaxing and require no recovery time afterwards. Depending on your goals, treatment may focus on a specific area or larger regions of the body.
Most sessions take between 10 and 20 minutes, making Red Light Therapy an easy addition to your recovery and wellness routine. Most clients simply relax during treatment and return immediately to their normal daily activities afterwards.
