Frequently asked questions

What exactly is red light therapy?

Red light therapy — also called photobiomodulation — uses specific wavelengths of red (660nm) and near-infrared (850nm) light. Your cells' mitochondria absorb that light and produce more usable energy (ATP), which supports tissue repair, healthy circulation, and reduced inflammation. There are no drugs, no needles, and no incisions involved.

Is it safe, and is the equipment FDA-cleared?

Yes. We use an FDA-cleared NovoTHOR® whole-body system, operated by trained staff. Red light therapy is non-invasive and generally well tolerated, with minimal side effects — some people notice temporary warmth or mild fatigue. It is a supportive wellness therapy, not a cure, and individual results vary.

How is the NovoTHOR® different from a handheld device?

Handheld panels and wands treat one small area at a time. The NovoTHOR® is a full-size bed that delivers therapeutic light across your entire body in a single session, at professional-grade intensity. For anyone with widespread soreness after a day on the farm or in the saddle, that whole-body coverage is the real difference.

Why do Red Valley residents come to you?

Red Valley is rural, with farmland, horse farms, and quiet roads rather than commercial wellness studios. Residents already travel to neighboring towns for fitness centers and health food stores, and our Howell location adds professional red light therapy to that routine — a short, straightforward drive.

What should I expect during a session?

No preparation is required. You lie down in the NovoTHOR® bed while the light does the work — it does not burn, and most people find it relaxing. There is no recovery time afterward, so you can head straight back to chores, the barn, or errands.

How often should I come?

Red light therapy tends to work best with consistency rather than a single visit. Many people build a regular rhythm and reassess how they feel over time. Call us and we will talk through a schedule that fits your goals — we will never oversell you on a promise we cannot back up.

Do I need to prepare anything before my visit?

Nothing at all. Come as you are. You will change into minimal clothing so the light can reach as much skin as possible, and that is the extent of the preparation. There is no fasting, no medication to stop, and nothing to bring beyond yourself.

Can red light therapy help with skin and sleep too?

Those are two of the more common reasons people come in. Photobiomodulation stimulates collagen production and supports skin tone and texture, and exposure to red light may help regulate circadian rhythms, which some people find supports better sleep quality. Both are covered in more depth on our benefits pages.

Is there anyone who should not use red light therapy?

As a precaution, red light therapy is not recommended during pregnancy, over an area with active cancer, or if you are taking photosensitizing medications. If you have a medical condition or are unsure, please check with your healthcare provider first and let us know before your session.

About Red Valley

Red Valley is known for its expansive farmland and horse farms, its quiet rural character, and a strong sense of local history and community. The historic Yellow Meeting House Cemetery is the final resting place of several early settlers of the area, Red Valley Lake offers a tranquil setting for the outdoors, and the intersection of County Route 526 and Red Valley Road marks the heart of this rural community.

That agricultural and equestrian rhythm keeps residents genuinely active — and makes recovery worth taking seriously.
