Red Light Therapy
Harnessing the potential of specific light wavelengths, red light therapy delves deep into the cellular level of our body. This non-invasive treatment, often called LED Light Therapy, directs beams of red and near-infrared light onto the skin, stimulating our body's natural healing mechanisms. This light can energize and rejuvenate cells when absorbed, laying the groundwork for myriad health benefits.
What is Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light (660-850nm) to stimulate cellular healing and regeneration. This scientifically-proven treatment enhances mitochondrial function and promotes natural healing processes.
Light as medicine - backed by over 3,000 peer-reviewed studies.

PubMed Database Compilation (2024)How Red Light Works
Cellular Light Absorption
Photo biomodulation Light energy absorbed by cellular mitochondria
ATP Production
Increased cellular energy production
Nitric Oxide Release
Enhanced circulation and oxygen delivery
Collagen Synthesis
Improved tissue repair and regeneration
The Result
Accelerated healing, reduced inflammation, and enhanced cellular function.
Key Benefits
Pain and Inflammation Relief
Experience significant reduction in joint and muscle pain through targeted photo biomodulation. Red light therapy effectively decreases inflammation and swelling while providing natural relief from arthritis and chronic pain conditions. Many clients report noticeable improvement after just their first session.
Enhanced Healing
Accelerate your body's natural healing processes with cellular-level therapy. Red light stimulates faster wound healing and tissue repair, dramatically improving recovery from injuries and enhancing muscle recovery after workouts. The increased ATP production gives your cells the energy they need to heal efficiently.
Skin Health
Transform your skin from the inside out with enhanced collagen production. Regular red light therapy sessions reduce fine lines and wrinkles while improving overall skin tone and texture. The 660nm wavelength specifically targets surface-level skin concerns, promoting a more youthful and radiant complexion.
Performance Enhancement
Unlock your athletic potential with improved muscle strength and endurance. Red light therapy enhances recovery between workouts, reduces exercise-induced fatigue, and supports peak athletic performance. Professional athletes worldwide use this technology to maintain their competitive edge and extend their careers.
Member Success
"A few months back I was having some leg pain. After one treatment with red light therapy the pain had gone away and boy I was flabbergasted."
"The red light therapy has helped my arthritis pain more than anything else I've tried."
"I use red light after every OsteoStrong session - the combination is perfect for recovery."

OsteoStrong® is a wellness studio focused on bone health and is not a medical treatment.
*** No physical exercise is 100% safe, and neither is OsteoStrong®. OsteoStrong® provides a unique way to emulate a high impact load of force to achieve osteogenic loading, without the high impact. While not 100% safe, OsteoStrong® is significantly safer than attempting high impact force. OsteoStrong® members have reported improved bone density, improved balance, improved strength, reduced joint pain, and reduced HbA1c. Results may vary. Consult your physician. Statements have not been evaluated by the FDA and are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or health condition. OsteoStrong centers are independently owned and operated. OsteoStrong®’s Science Advisor received his PhD from Rushmore University, certified/accredited in accordance with UK National Standards, but whose accreditation is not recognized in some jurisdictions.
