Red Light Therapy in Los Angeles
Red & Near-Infrared Light Therapy to Complement Your Pelvic Health Care
At The Pelvic Model in Highland Park, Los Angeles, we offer red light therapy as an additional tool within your personalized rehabilitation plan.
Our flexible LED wrap delivers red and near-infrared light directly against the skin. Treatment is external and non-invasive, without needles or internal application.
Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation, has been studied for its potential to help manage pain and support recovery in certain musculoskeletal conditions. Results vary by condition, device, and treatment protocol. We use it to complement your care, not replace a thorough evaluation, hands-on treatment, or movement-based rehabilitation.
Pelvic Health Applications
Pelvic symptoms deserve a treatment plan that looks beyond the location of your pain.
At The Pelvic Model, we evaluate how muscle function, movement, tissue mobility, breathing, and pressure management may contribute to your symptoms. We then discuss whether external red light therapy has a useful role alongside your pelvic rehabilitation.
The wrap is applied externally over the selected treatment area. It is not an internal vaginal or rectal treatment.
Research on photobiomodulation does not establish this external wrap as a proven treatment for specific pelvic conditions. Your therapist will explain the purpose of including it in your care and assess whether it is helping you progress.
Pelvic rehabilitation may also involve addressing discomfort in the back, hips, and surrounding muscles and joints.
Photobiomodulation has been studied for musculoskeletal conditions including knee osteoarthritis, tendinopathy, and myofascial pain. Some research suggests improvements in pain or function, although the evidence varies and results from other devices cannot automatically be applied to this wrap.
Your therapist can help determine whether red light therapy is a reasonable addition to your rehabilitation program.
Orthopedic & Musculoskeletal Conditions
Photobiomodulation works through interactions between light and light-sensitive molecules within cells. These interactions can influence cellular energy production and signaling involved in inflammation and tissue repair.
Unlike SoftWave, which delivers acoustic shockwaves, red light therapy uses LED light. They are different treatment tools, and your therapist will explain why either may be considered in your plan.
How Red Light Therapy Works
Your treatment should be guided by what you need and not simply by the equipment available.
At The Pelvic Model, we take an individualized approach that considers your symptoms, movement, medical history, and goals.
Your care may include:
Hands-on treatment.
Breathing and pressure-management strategies.
Scar and tissue mobility work.
Movement retraining.
Strengthening and functional exercise.
Education to help you understand and manage your symptoms.
Red light therapy is an optional supporting tool within that broader approach. Our priority remains helping you move more comfortably and participate in the activities that matter to you.
Why The Pelvic Model for Red Light & Pelvic Health
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is red light therapy?
Red light therapy, also called photobiomodulation, uses specific wavelengths of light to influence cellular activity.
Is this an internal pelvic treatment?
No. The wrap is placed externally against the skin over the selected treatment area. It is not inserted vaginally or rectally.
Can red light therapy help with pelvic pain?
Red light therapy may have a supportive role in your pelvic pain treatment plan. Because pelvic pain can have multiple contributing factors, we take an individualized approach rather than relying on a single treatment. Your therapist will help determine whether red light therapy is a good fit for your symptoms and goals, alongside hands-on care, movement, and other rehabilitation strategies.
What does treatment feel like?
You may notice gentle warmth beneath the wrap. Treatment should not feel hot, burning, or painful. Let your therapist know immediately if you experience discomfort.
How long does treatment take?
Red light therapy is incorporated into your pelvic therapy session and is typically applied for 10–20 minutes. Your therapist will tailor the treatment time to the area being addressed and your comfort.
Is red light therapy appropriate for everyone
Not necessarily. Before treatment, your therapist will review your medical history, medications, skin sensitivity, and the proposed treatment area.
The device instructions include precautions for photosensitivity and other medical circumstances. Some patients may need medical clearance or a different treatment option.
How is it different from SoftWave?
Red light therapy uses red and near-infrared LED light. SoftWave uses acoustic shockwaves. They deliver different forms of energy and are not interchangeable treatments.
Your therapist will help you understand which options fit your needs and goals.
