Why people come

Red light therapy benefits our patients come for

  • Approved for long-term pain. In the UK, THOR devices are approved for tendinopathies, chronic joint pain, and back and neck pain.
  • Targeted laser where it hurts. The THOR laser concentrates light on one painful tendon, joint or area of the back in a 30-minute session.
  • Recovery around training. A 20-minute full-body session that fits around your training week.
  • Full body in twenty minutes. NovoTHOR treats the whole body at once; the THOR laser targets the area that needs it.
  • No downtime, no burn, no tanning. No UV light. Lie back, eyewear on, carry on with your day.

The mechanism

How red light therapy works

Photobiomodulation works because red and near-infrared wavelengths are absorbed by the mitochondria inside your cells. This is thought to increase their energy output, improve local circulation and calm inflammatory signalling, which is why it is studied for recovery, pain, inflammation and tissue repair rather than used as a cosmetic light.

NovoTHOR delivers light to the whole body at once in a 20-minute session. The THOR laser concentrates similar wavelengths on a specific joint, tendon or injury for a stronger local dose. The two are often combined: whole-body recovery in the bed, then targeted work on the problem area with the laser.

Who it helps

Is red light therapy right for you?

  • Tendon problems. Tendinopathies, such as tennis elbow and Achilles tendinopathy, are an approved use of THOR devices in the UK. See red light therapy for tendonitis.
  • Chronic joint pain. An approved use, best combined with exercise. For osteoarthritis, NICE puts exercise first. For jaw joint pain, see red light therapy for TMJ.
  • Back and neck pain. An approved use, usually planned alongside exercise or physiotherapy.
  • Active people. Sessions fitted around training, alongside sleep, nutrition and sensible training loads.
  • General wellbeing. Twenty minutes of warmth and quiet, with no UV.

Other conditions are not approved uses of THOR devices in the UK, and we make no treatment claims for them. For the studies, see our red light therapy research library.

What to expect

What to expect at your first red light therapy session

Your first visit includes a short consultation to check suitability, medication and goals. Protective eyewear goes on, you lie back in the NovoTHOR bed and the session runs for about twenty minutes. It is warm, quiet and pleasant, and you can shower and carry on with your day straight away. Targeted THOR laser sessions last 30 minutes and focus on the area being treated.

A common question is whether red light therapy can cause cancer. These wavelengths contain no UV, the part of sunlight linked to skin cancer, and current research has not shown a cancer risk; read more in can red light therapy cause cancer. We agree a schedule with you, and the Omnia Red membership covers eight NovoTHOR sessions a month if you want regular sessions.

Full body red light therapy bed in London

Our red light therapy bed is a NovoTHOR, a full body bed that surrounds you with red and near-infrared LEDs, so your whole body is treated at once. You lie in the bed for a 20-minute session, with no UV and no downtime, so you can go straight back to work or training afterwards. A single NovoTHOR session is £70, and the Omnia Red membership gives you eight sessions a month for £225, about £28 a session.

We agree a schedule with you at your first visit, and you can review it as you go. Your first visit includes a free 15-minute consultation, so you can see the bed and ask questions before you start.

Red light therapy bed or sunbed?

People often search for a red light bed or a red light sunbed, but the two are very different. A sunbed uses ultraviolet light to tan the skin. A red light therapy bed uses red and near-infrared light, which does not tan and is not ultraviolet. For a single area, such as a knee, shoulder or the lower back, our THOR laser gives targeted treatment in a 30-minute session for £80. Read more about low level laser therapy in London.
