Red light therapy takes a different approach than the infrared sauna. Instead of using heat, it uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate your body at a cellular level. As the light reaches deep into your skin and tissues, it helps boost energy production, reduce inflammation, and promote recovery without raising your core temperature. You just lie back in the full-body light bed and let the gentle light do the work.

✨ Our Red Light Therapy Bed can help with

• Healing deep tissue

• Supporting bone and joint repair

• Improving circulation

• Reducing inflammation

• Speeding up recovery

• Easing muscle soreness

• Healing acne and scars

• Boosting collagen

• Smoothing skin tone

• Reducing wrinkles

It’s our goal to help people become pain-free and restore their function through high-quality, patient-centered rehabilitation and we want to show you what that looks like in action.

This patient came in with low back pain that resulted in leg and knee pain. One of our goals was to get her performing exercises that would relieve pressure from the spine caused by a relevant lateral shift.

Lower back pain can come from many issues like poor motion, weak spinal or hip muscles, and strain from sitting or repetitive activities. When your joints and muscles don’t move the way they should, your back ends up taking the load.

That’s why we focus on restoring proper movement, improving spinal mobility, strengthening the core and hips, and teaching you how to fix the root causes of pain naturally.

We are here to help you move better, feel better, and get back to living pain-free. If you would like to schedule a 1-on-1 meeting we would love to talk to you.

We’ve seen a lot of physical therapy myths circulating online lately, so we wanted to clear a few of them up.

Myth #1: “Strength training is bad for your joints.”

Reality: When done correctly, strength training actually supports your joints by building stability and improving overall function.

Myth #2: “Low back pain never really goes away.”

Reality: Many cases of low back pain can be improved once we identify the true source of the discomfort. Addressing the root cause and correcting the movements that aggravate it can lead to meaningful relief.

Myth #3: “Pain always means something is damaged.”

Reality: Not all pain is the same. If you arrive with painful symptoms, of course we need to address that. However, soreness or muscle fatigue after a session is often normal and can even be a sign that your body is adapting in a positive way.

We would love to meet you and schedule a one-on-one session to help address any issues you may have. If you are in the Chattanooga or Knoxville areas comment “INFO” and we will send you a link to schedule a visit!

Here are a few physical therapy related myths we’ve seen floating around the internet that we wanted to address:

1. “Strength training is bad for your joints”

Answer: Strength training can actually help stabilize and support your joints.

2. “Low back pain never truly goes away”

Answer: Low back pain can be addressed, we just need to figure out the cause of the muscle pain so we can address the root of the issue and avoid bad movements.

3. “Pain always means something is damaged”

Answer: The answer to this truly depends on the type of pain. If you are coming in with pain, we will want to address that negative pain. However, sometimes patients will feel soreness or muscle fatigue after a session and assume something is wrong. That post work soreness can actually be a positive thing.

These are our Compression Recovery Boots. Dynamic air compression sleeves that boost circulation, reduce swelling, and speed up muscle recovery in the legs. Let’s break it down.

Q: What do they actually do?
A: They use dynamic air compression to gently squeeze your legs and guide blood and lymphatic flow back toward your heart. This helps flush out metabolic waste, reduce swelling, and speed up muscle recovery after activity.

- Less inflammation
- Faster recovery
- Better circulation

Q: How does it feel?
A: Like a deep, rhythmic massage. Think of it as a reset button for your legs. It’s soothing, pressure-focused, and incredibly relaxing.

Q: Why are they so effective?
A: Compression boots use different pressure cycles and zones to target tight, fatigued muscles from calf to thigh. By increasing blood flow and pushing out built-up soreness, they help your body recover naturally and more efficiently.

Q: Who is it for?
A: Almost anyone! From runners and athletes, to people who stand at work all day, to those dealing with swelling or general fatigue. If your legs feel heavy, sore, or just need a boost, this is for you.

Ready to feel the difference?
Book a session and your legs will thank you.

According to a University of Delaware study, over 1 million workers in the U.S. suffer back injuries each year, and back injuries account for about one out of every five workplace injuries.

Many lower back injuries happen during lifting tasks when people bend incorrectly or try to lift with their back instead of their legs.

How do we lift safely without straining our back?
Step 1: Stand close to the object. Standing too far away forces us to use incorrect muscles when attempting to lift.
Step 2: Align your hips with your shoulders.
Step 3: Push your hips back away from the object and bend your knees.
Step 4: Lift the object with your powerful legs and not your weaker lower back.

If you or someone you know has back pain, we have experts that can help in your recovery to get you back to doing what you love.

🔴 Why We Love Infrared Saunas
Infrared saunas aren’t just a trend, they can be a game-changer for recovery and overall wellness. Instead of heating the air around you like traditional saunas, infrared waves warm your body directly, helping you get deeper benefits at lower temps.

What are these saunas designed for?
• Muscle soreness + joint stiffness
• Stress + tension
• Circulation and detox support
• Recovery after workouts
• Sleep + relaxation
• Skin clarity and rejuvenation

Whether you’re chasing better recovery, pain relief, a way to detoxify or just a peaceful reset, infrared sessions are one of the simplest ways to invest in your body.

Comment “SAUNA” and we will send you a link to secure your sauna time!
