Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy in Pacific Grove uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to reduce inflammation, accelerate healing, and relieve pain. At Selina's Therapy Center, we combine red light therapy with massage for enhanced recovery—addressing both muscle tension and cellular healing. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries, or seeking faster post-workout recovery, this science-backed treatment supports your body's natural healing processes.
Red light therapy (photobiomodulation) uses wavelengths between 600-900 nanometers to penetrate skin and reach deeper tissues. This light stimulates mitochondria—the energy centers of your cells—to produce more ATP (cellular energy), improving:
Blood circulation
Tissue repair
Inflammation reduction
Collagen production
Muscle recovery
Unlike UV light, red and near-infrared light is safe, non-invasive, and painless.
What is Red Light Therapy?
The Benefits of Red Light Therapy
Specialized Treatments
Red Light Therapy offers more than just relaxation—it’s a powerful, science-backed tool for recovery and rejuvenation. By stimulating cellular repair and reducing inflammation, it helps your body heal from the inside out. Whether you’re dealing with muscle fatigue, chronic pain, or just want to support overall skin and tissue health, red light therapy provides a gentle yet effective solution. Many clients report feeling refreshed, with less stiffness, better mobility, and a noticeable boost in energy after consistent sessions.
It’s safe, soothing, and scientifically backed to support deep recovery from the inside out.
How It Works
Red & Near-Infrared Light
Low-level wavelengths of red and near-infrared light are directed onto your body, gently penetrating the skin and reaching deep into tissues.
Repair & Recovery
With increased energy, your body can speed up tissue repair, reduce inflammation, and support overall recovery—without heat, pain, or downtime.
Cellular Energy Boost
These wavelengths stimulate your cells’ mitochondria, encouraging them to produce more ATP—the energy source your body uses for healing and regeneration.

Is red light therapy safe?
Yes. Red light therapy is FDA-cleared for pain relief and has been studied extensively. It's non-invasive, painless, and has no known serious side effects when used properly.
For active conditions (pain, injury): 3-5 times per week for 4-6 weeks, then maintenance 1-2 times weekly. For general wellness: 2-3 times per week ongoing.
