Clinical-grade photobiomodulation. Red and near-infrared light to support tissue repair, inflammation, and recovery. Available in the East York Recovery Room.
Red light therapy (photobiomodulation) uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to influence how cells produce energy. The research points to benefits for tissue repair, inflammation modulation, circulation, and recovery, especially alongside active training or rehab.
PRT's Recovery Room at East York uses clinical-grade Infraredi panels calibrated to therapeutic wavelengths. Sessions are short, private, and simple. You control the experience.
Stimulates mitochondrial activity in exposed tissue.
Modulates inflammation after training or injury.
Increases local blood flow during and after exposure.
Supports the body's own healing processes in skin, muscle, and joints.
Red light therapy isn't a cure-all, but people use it alongside training, rehab, and recovery for a range of reasons. A few of the most common:
Post-workout sessions for muscle soreness and recovery support.
Knees, shoulders, hips. Targeted exposure to painful or stiff joints.
Adjunct to active rehab for chronic tendon issues.
General inflammation management, including post-injury.
Collagen support, skin tone, and wound healing.
Used in the morning to support natural circadian rhythms.
Tissue repair support once cleared for use.
Regular sessions as part of a broader recovery stack.
Some people report subjective mood and energy benefits.
Red light sessions are short and private. No practitioner needed in the room during treatment. Here's the flow.
You arrive a few minutes before your session. Front desk sets you up in the Recovery Room.
Light works best on exposed skin. You undress to your comfort level in privacy (most people use undergarments or swimwear).
15 to 20 minutes in front of the panel. Close the provided eyewear, relax, and let the light do its thing.
Quick change, grab water on the way out. No downtime. No recovery needed from the recovery.
We use red light therapy the way the research supports it: as a targeted adjunct to rehab, training, and recovery. It complements the rest of your plan.
If it's the right fit for what you're working on, we'll say so. If it isn't, we'll tell you that too.
Red light sessions are self-guided. Our front desk will get you set up, explain the panel, and check in afterward. If you want guidance on whether red light is a good fit for your specific goals, one of our practitioners can advise during an assessment.
