What is full-body red light therapy?
Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation, exposes the skin to specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. A full-body bed treats your whole body at once instead of one small area at a time.
At Zona, sessions take place in a TheraLight 360+ bed. You lie down, the canopy closes around you, and light panels above and below deliver light to the front and back of your body during a single session.

How photobiomodulation works
Photobiomodulation uses low-level light that does not burn or cut the skin. Red and near-infrared wavelengths can pass into the skin and underlying tissue, where they are absorbed by parts of your cells, including the mitochondria, which produce cellular energy.
Researchers are still studying exactly how this light interaction affects the body. Results vary from person to person, and red light therapy is not a substitute for medical care.
Potential Benefits
Why people use red light therapy
Individual experiences vary. No specific result is promised.
Minor muscle & joint discomfort
Photobiomodulation may help with the temporary relief of minor muscle and joint aches, pain, and stiffness.
Muscle relaxation
Many clients find the warm, quiet session a relaxing way to unwind tight muscles after activity or a long day.
Local circulation
Red and near-infrared light may temporarily increase local blood circulation where the light reaches the skin.
A recovery-day routine
Some people pair red light sessions with stretching, Pilates, or rest days as part of a broader wellness routine.

FAQs
Red light therapy questions
What is the TheraLight 360+?
The TheraLight 360+ is a full-body photobiomodulation bed. Panels above and below you emit red and near-infrared light so your whole body is exposed during a single session.
Does red light therapy feel hot?
Most people describe a gentle warmth rather than heat. It is very different from a sauna, and you should not feel uncomfortably hot.
How long is a session?
Session length depends on the settings selected for you. Our team will explain the length of your session when you book.
How often should I come in?
Frequency varies by person and goal. Many clients schedule sessions regularly as part of a routine. Our team can help you decide on a schedule that fits.
Is red light therapy the same as tanning?
No. Red light therapy beds use red and near-infrared light, not the ultraviolet (UV) light used in tanning beds.
Will red light therapy help me lose weight?
Red light therapy is not a weight-loss treatment, and we do not offer it as one. If weight management is your goal, ask about our ChiroThin program.
Is red light therapy covered by insurance?
Wellness services, including red light therapy, are booked separately from physical therapy and are generally not covered by insurance.
