Red Light & Infrared Therapy
At Nurture Massage & Wellness, Red Light & Infrared Therapy is a calm, non-invasive way to support skin health, ease pain, reduce inflammation, and enhance recovery. Using a professional-grade, full-body LED panel, we combine red light for surface-level skin support and near infrared light for deeper muscle and joint benefits—so you can relax while your cells do the work.
What Is Red Light & Infrared Therapy?
Red Light Therapy (RLT) and Near Infrared Therapy (NIR/IRT) use specific wavelengths of light to gently stimulate cellular activity—a process often called photobiomodulation. Research suggests this type of light exposure may help improve skin appearance, support wound healing, reduce pain and inflammation, and promote tissue repair.​
​
-
Red Light (around 630–660 nm)
Works closer to the surface of the skin, supporting tone, texture, collagen production, and overall radiance. -
Near Infrared Light (around 810–850 nm)
Penetrates deeper into muscles, joints, and tissues, where it may support recovery, circulation, and pain relief.
Unlike tanning beds, there is no UV light involved—this is not a tanning service and does not darken the skin.

What Our Clients Say
Mike D.
"I have had massages in Europe as well as here in California. Sheri is the best massage therapist that has ever worked on me. Sheri genuinely cares about my well being and takes the time to listen to me prior to beginning the session to identify the muscular issues that I am dealing with. Sheri is able to adjust the massage with how my body is reacting, which creates a terrific result. I highly recommend Nurture Massage and Wellness!
