What Is Red Light Therapy and Why Should You Use It?
Red Light Therapy, also known as phototherapy, is a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to improve mood, alleviate stress, and promote overall well-being.
Everyone Needs Healthy Light, But Most People Don’t Get Enough.
Light is essential for our health and cellular function, just like water, sleep, and the nutrients from food. The human body is designed to function with an abundance of natural sunlight, but with our modern lifestyles, most people don’t get nearly enough. The average American spends over 90% of their time indoors. That’s not nearly enough natural light for optimal health and balance! Worse yet, much of the time we spend indoors is filled with bright blue light from screens and overhead lighting, which can have a negative effect on sleep and circadian rhythms.
How Does Red Light Therapy Work?
Humans have trillions of cells that need energy. Red and Near Infrared Light (NIR) light enhances cellular function and promotes greater efficiency in the energy making process. The better we use energy, the better we feel and function. With red light therapy, 660 nanometers of red light are absorbed by your skin, leading to vibrant and optimal skin health. When NIR therapy is used, near infrared light at 850 nanometers penetrates deeper within your body to enhance performance, recovery, and inflammation support.
Just Some of the Benefits.

“Once the 49ers training staff explained the science behind [Red Light Therapy] and the purpose of what it does for the body, it made too much sense to me as an athlete not to be using it regularly….It's now a part of my recovery regimen probably five days a week.”
