Red Light Therapy is Colliery Recovery's newest service (added February 2026): a 15–20-minute photobiomodulation session using red and near-infrared light in the 630–850 nm range. The light penetrates into the tissue and stimulates mitochondria, supporting cellular ATP production — an effect associated with faster muscle regeneration after training, reduced inflammation and muscle fatigue, relief of back, neck and joint pain, better microcirculation, soft-tissue healing support and improved skin quality. The studio positions it as one of the most effective non-invasive recovery tools for HYROX, CrossFit, running and strength athletes, as well as for clients with chronic back pain. A short consultation precedes the first application.
About this treatment
Red light therapy (photobiomodulation) uses specific wavelengths of red (around 630–660 nm) and near-infrared (around 800–850 nm) light that penetrate skin and underlying tissue more deeply than visible light of other colours. Unlike a heat lamp or sauna, the mechanism is not thermal: the light is absorbed by chromophores in the mitochondria — the energy centres of cells — where it is associated with increased production of ATP, the cell's energy…
