At Willow, we’re not just a place to work out. We’re not just a spa or a clinic. We’re a community for people who want to live fully, recover deeply, and care for themselves in every season of life.
From Pilates to acupuncture, from red light therapy to chiropractic care and medical aesthetics, Willow H+W is where your whole self is supported. Because real wellness isn’t one thing -it’s everything working together!
This month, we’re shining a light on one of our favorite restorative therapies: Red Light Therapy. It’s a cornerstone of recovery and rejuvenation that helps you feel energized, balanced, and radiant inside and out.
What Is Red Light Therapy?
Red light therapy (RLT) — also called low-level laser therapy or photobiomodulation — uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light (typically 630–850 nm) to stimulate your body at the cellular level.
When the light penetrates your skin, it’s absorbed by your mitochondria (the tiny powerhouses inside each cell). That boost of light energy helps cells repair, renew, and perform better.
In practical terms, it means:
More efficient energy production (you feel revitalized)
Improved circulation and cellular repair
Reduced inflammation and oxidative stress
Enhanced tissue healing and skin rejuvenation
Why Red Light Therapy Belongs at Willow
1. Recovery Meets Movement
Whether you’re strengthening in Pilates, improving posture, or recovering from muscle tension, red light therapy helps reduce soreness and supports muscle recovery. Pairing it with your regular movement practice or chiropractic session can help your body perform and heal more efficiently.
2. Reduce Inflammation, Support Balance
Chronic inflammation and stress are at the root of so many health issues. RLT helps calm the inflammatory response while promoting tissue healing and circulation. Many clients notice less stiffness, more mobility, and a sense of lightness after regular sessions.
3. Skin, Energy & Radiance
From stimulating collagen production to evening skin tone and improving texture, RLT supports your body’s natural glow. It’s one of the reasons our aesthetician loves recommending it alongside skin care treatments it helps your skin thrive from the inside out.
On a deeper level, it also supports energy metabolism and nervous system balance, helping you sleep better, recover faster, and feel more grounded.
4. Safe, Gentle & Non-Invasive
Unlike UV tanning, red light therapy uses wavelengths that do not damage the skin. It’s painless, relaxing, and requires no downtime, making it a great complement to our other wellness services like acupuncture, chiropractic care, or medical aesthetics.
What to Expect During a Session
You stand for 10 minutes lightly dressed in our red light room.
The light feels warm (not hot) and deeply soothing.
Many clients describe it as a “reset” for their body and mind.
Afterward, hydrate and allow your body to integrate the benefits. Benefits build over time with consistent use.
For most people, consistency is key: just like regular workouts or balanced nutrition, RLT results are cumulative.
