How does red light therapy work?
At its core, red light therapy operates on the principle of photobiomodulation, where specific wavelengths of red light penetrate the skin, reaching the mitochondria within our cells. This interaction sparks a cascade of positive effects, enhancing energy production and accelerating cellular repair and regeneration. As a result, red light therapy supports the body’s natural healing processes, making it a valuable tool for various health conditions.

The Benefits of Red Light Therapy
Red light therapy, also known as photobiomodulation, has been gaining popularity in recent years for its numerous health benefits. This cutting-edge treatment utilizes low levels of red or near-infrared light to effectively stimulate cellular function and enhance overall tissue health in a completely non-invasive manner.. It is a natural and painless way to treat a variety of conditions and promote optimal wellness.
Pain Relief
Red light therapy is renowned for its remarkable capacity to alleviate pain and inflammation within the body, making it one of the most widely recognized benefits of this therapeutic approach.. The red light enhances the production of ATP, fueling our cells with energy to facilitate repair and healing processes. This can be especially useful for those suffering from chronic pain conditions such as arthritis or fibromyalgia.
Improved Skin Health
Red light therapy is widely acknowledged for its remarkable anti-aging benefits.. By stimulating collagen production, the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines can be reduced, resulting in a more youthful complexion. Moreover, red light therapy has demonstrated efficacy in enhancing skin tone and texture, rendering it a sought-after remedy for individuals grappling with acne or scarring.
Faster Healing
Red light therapy has also been found to speed up the healing process. By enhancing cellular function and promoting circulation, this treatment can aid in repairing tissue damage and reducing recovery time after injuries or surgeries.
Reduced Inflammation
Inflammation is a common issue for many people, and red light therapy has been found to be an effective solution. By reducing inflammation in the body, this treatment can alleviate pain and discomfort caused by conditions such as arthritis, tendonitis, or bursitis.
Improved Mental Well-Being
While more research is needed, early studies have shown that red light therapy may also have positive effects on mental health. It has been found to potentially reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, as well as improve overall mood and well-being.
Which musculoskeletal conditions can red light therapy treat?
Red light therapy has been used to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions, including but not limited to:
Arthritis
Tendonitis
Bursitis
Carpal tunnel syndrome
Fibromyalgia
Plantar fasciitis
Muscle strains and sprains
What type of red light therapy do we use?
At our Burlington clinic, we utilize state-of-the-art red light therapy devices that emit specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light. These devices have been carefully researched and selected for their effectiveness in promoting healing and wellness. We use the Kala pro equipment. More information HERE.
What can I expect during a red light therapy session?
Experiencing a red light therapy session is a relaxing and straightforward process. Clients typically sit or lie down in a comfortable position as the red light devices are positioned strategically over the targeted areas. The therapy is painless, and sessions usually last around 10 to 20 minutes, depending on the treatment goals. Many individuals find the experience calming, and there are no known significant side effects.
As with any therapeutic modality, consistency is key. While some people may experience immediate benefits, others may notice gradual improvements over several sessions. The duration and frequency of sessions may vary based on individual needs and the specific health condition being addressed.
You can book a session as an add-on (10 to 20 minutes) to an existing service (for example, physiotherapy or counselling or naturopathy or chiropractic or massage therapy). Alternatively, you can ask for a stand-alone session (20 minutes).
Can I submit my expenses to my health insurance?
Yes, you will be able to submit your expenses and be reimbursed as long as you have coverage under any services we offer and use it as an add-on or under the supervision of one of our physiotherapists (stand-alone option).

I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism
I recently used Pillars of Wellness services for my injuries. I was very impressed by their customer service and professionalism. The first time I came to do my assessment, the owner, the physiotherapist and the chiropractor sat with me to help me figure out the best way to feel better and faster. I spent 6 weeks with on-going treatment using different modalities. The end result was no more pain and I was able to move again!! Thank you so much for your help. I highly recommend this clinic to anyone.

I’m feeling very supported during my recovery….
On the advice of a friend, I reached out and booked a series of appointments with their occupational therapist, Lori; physiotherapist, Abida; and their naturopath, Dr. Galantai to help with recovering from a concussion. It has been an excellent experience! They are all incredible practitioners.
This is the first time I’ve ever experienced a longer term injury and their genuine, individualized care has really lessened my stress. I’m feeling very supported during my recovery and highly recommend their clinic. I credit my continual improvement to the holistic way I’m getting treatment for my symptoms and am very grateful.
I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.
Friendly, caring and professionals like nothing I have seen around Aldershot//Burlington. Attentive to the needs of their patients. They take the time to listen. Beautiful and well designed clinic that is extremely well maintained. I have had two car accidents in the last year and I went to different clinics I finally found one worth going to.
