“After experiencing constant joint pain, I was recently diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my knee. I declined a steroid shot, preferring to treat my injury holistically. I started red light therapy at Áegis and by the second week of treatment, I was pain-free and experiencing improved knee mobility”

Reduce inflammation and reclaim health and vitality at Áegis Living Ballard

What is red light therapy?
Photobiomodulation (PBM) delivers red and near-infrared wavelengths that are absorbed by mitochondria, which may stimulate tissue repair and reduce local inflammation (NIH, 2014). Low-level red light therapy is studied for supporting circulation and easing everyday muscle and joint discomfort.
For older adults — arthritis affects about half of adults 65 and older (CDC, 2024) — it offers a gentle, non-invasive option for everyday joint and muscle discomfort, alongside Restore therapy.
Restore Red Light Therapy Benefits
