Give your recovery a little boost

Training hard, working long days, or dealing with an injury that's taking its sweet time to calm down? Sometimes your body just needs a little extra support to bounce back. That's where red light therapy comes in.

It's gentle, relaxing, and one of the easiest add-ons to your visit. Seriously, all you have to do is sit back.

What is red light therapy?

Red light therapy (also called photobiomodulation or low-level light therapy) uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light that penetrate into the skin and underlying tissue. That light is absorbed by your cells and can help support their energy production, which plays a role in tissue repair and recovery.

It's non-invasive, there's no heat or burning, and there's no downtime.

What can it help with?

Red light therapy is commonly used to support:

  • Muscle recovery after workouts or competition
  • Muscle soreness and stiffness
  • Joint aches and general achiness
  • Soft tissue injuries like strains and tendon irritation
  • Recovery between treatment sessions

Every body is different, so we'll talk through your goals at your visit and let you know honestly whether red light therapy is a good fit.

Why red light at Anchor Chiro is different

At Anchor, red light therapy is part of a bigger plan. Dr. Kate often pairs it with Active Release Technique, shockwave therapy, adjustments, and targeted movement work to help you recover and get back to what you love. Each visit is tailored to how you're feeling that day, so you get what your body actually needs.

What to expect

  • It's relaxing. You'll sit or lie comfortably while the light does the work. Most people feel a gentle warmth, or nothing at all.
  • It's quick. Sessions are short and easy to add on to your visit.
  • No downtime. Head right back to your day afterward.
  • Consistency matters. Like most recovery tools, red light therapy tends to work best with regular sessions over time.
