How it works
Inside a red light therapy session.
Position the panel
A red-light panel is aimed at the treatment area from a short distance, clothing is moved off the target zone.
Deliver specific wavelengths
Red and near-infrared wavelengths (typically 630-850 nm) penetrate skin and shallow tissue.
Support mitochondria
Photons are absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase, supporting cellular energy (ATP) production.
Compound the visit
We add red light after adjusting, percussion, or scraping to lock in recovery gains.

What should I wear to red light therapy if I am driving from Fountain Valley?
Clothes you can move in. Skip the suit jacket. First visits run about 45 minutes; follow-ups are shorter. If you are coming from the Fountain Valley Sports Park area, give yourself a few extra minutes on I-405 at Brookhurst St at rush hour.
Is Red Light Therapy the right next step if I live in Fountain Valley?
Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation or low-level light therapy, delivers specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to the tissue. We will tell you on visit one whether it is the right tool, or whether you need something else in the same office — or a referral.
Is it safe for skin?
Yes. Red light does not use UV wavelengths, so there’s no burn risk. We do provide goggles for eye protection.
How is this different from a heating pad?
Heat brings blood to the surface. Red light drives energy into cells at the mitochondrial level, a different mechanism entirely.
