Why I Use Red Light Therapy at Well Health Therapy

Reset your body. Reconnect your mind.

My journey with red light therapy started in a salon. I asked for the bestskincare tip, and they said, “Red and blue light therapy.” I was instantly curious, and soon hooked. What I discovered is that light therapy isn’t new. Ancient Greeks Heliopolis, better known as the City of the Sun, used sunlight in healing temples, believing different colours helped with different health and medical issues. This is also where the term heliotherapy, or the exposure of light came from. That idea has evolved, and today, we use red and near-infrared light to help the body heal, inside and out.

Why I Use It in My Practice

Mito Light Therapy is where my Red light comes from, this therapy supports so many areas of health and wellbeing, from muscle recovery to mental clarity.

Here are just a few ways it helps:

💪 Recovery & Performance

Red and near-infrared light increase circulation and energy at a cellular level, helping muscles recover quicker after exercise. It’s brilliant for runners, gym- goers, or anyone wanting to feel better in their body.

 More oxygen and nutrients to muscles

 Faster recovery after training

 Reduces inflammation and soreness

 Improves joint flexibility

💪 Hormonal Support

Used over areas like the thyroid or reproductive glands, light therapy may help balance hormones.

 Supports sleep and melatonin levels

With age, our collagen levels drop. Red light boosts collagen and elastin, improving skin texture, healing, and even hair quality.
