Restore Red Light Therapy

Clinically studied red and near-infrared light — relaxing 10–20 minute sessions that support joint comfort, sleep, recovery, and skin health. Available at Áegis Living Ballard (Seattle) and San Rafael.

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

At Áegis Living, we believe in empowering our residents with healthier living. Restore Red Light Therapy offers a proven, non-invasive solution to help you feel better and live more vibrantly–naturally. Experience improvements in mobility, energy, and overall healing.

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

Red light therapy offers a natural, drug-free solution for many common issues without the side effects of medications or surgeries. It’s safe, effective, and scientifically proven to enhance our quality of life as we age.

Pain Relief

Studies show LED red light can help reduce inflammation, offering relief for arthritis, back pain, and muscle stiffness.

Faster Healing

Injuries or surgeries can take longer to heal as we age. Red light therapy helps accelerate tissue repair and recovery.
