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.

Is Red Light Therapy the right next step if I live in Trabuco Canyon?
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.
