Full-Body Red Light Therapy
12 minutes to support recovery, performance and healthy ageing
We have invested in the Nuvibody PRO, a professional full-body red and near-infrared light therapy bed, bringing advanced photobiomodulation (PBM) to Chiropractic 1st.
Unlike a small red-light panel, the Nuvibody PRO delivers light simultaneously from above and below, providing full-body exposure in approximately 12 minutes.
Why Red Light Therapy?
Photobiomodulation uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light that interact with our cells and tissues.
One of the key areas of research is the mitochondria — the structures within our cells responsible for producing energy.
Red and near-infrared light has been extensively studied for its effects on cellular function, tissue repair, exercise performance and recovery, as well as collagen production and skin health.
For this reason, red light therapy is increasingly used by athletes, active individuals and people interested in recovery, performance and healthy ageing.
Why We Chose the Nuvibody PRO
Not all red-light therapy systems are the same.
We specifically chose the Nuvibody PRO, a professional full-body system combining five carefully selected wavelengths — 633, 660, 810, 850 and 940 nm — across the red and near-infrared spectrum.
Using a combination of wavelengths allows the light to interact with the body at different tissue depths, rather than relying on a single wavelength.
Light is delivered evenly across the whole body from above and below, so there is no need to turn over or reposition during your session.
The result is a simple, comfortable 12-minute full-body experience designed to support recovery, performance, skin health and healthy ageing.
What Do People Use Red Light Therapy For?
Recovery & Performance
Popular with athletes and active people to support muscle recovery, exercise performance and the body's natural tissue-repair processes.
Skin & Collagen
Red light has been studied for its effects on collagen production, skin elasticity, texture and the appearance of fine lines.
Healthy Ageing & Cellular Function
Photobiomodulation is particularly interesting because of its relationship with mitochondrial function and cellular energy — increasingly important areas of research in performance and healthy ageing.
Keeping Active
For those who simply want to look after their bodies, recover well and continue doing the activities they love.
Why Are We Adding It to Chiropractic 1st?
Our philosophy has always been about more than treating aches and pains. We want to help our patients move well, recover well and remain active throughout life.
Our chiropractor Arleen Scholten takes her own health and longevity seriously. She is a runner, cyclist and padel player, and loves pretty much any activity that gets her outdoors and moving.
She is also a busy mother of three and understands first-hand the toll that juggling family, work, exercise and everyday life can take on your body, energy and recovery.
For Arleen, healthy ageing isn't about slowing down — it's about looking after your body so that you can continue doing the things you love for as long as possible.
She will be using the Nuvibody PRO herself as part of her own health and recovery routine — just as she has her own chiropractor.
We believe in practising what we recommend.
What Does a Session Involve?
Simply lie back and relax while red and near-infrared light surrounds the body.
For the light to reach the skin effectively, the more skin exposed, the better. Most people choose to wear underwear, a bikini, shorts or other minimal clothing. You can undress to whatever level you feel comfortable with, and your session takes place in a private treatment room.
We recommend arriving with clean, dry skin where possible and removing clothing from the areas you particularly want to expose to the light.
Light exposure: 12 minutes
Appointment time: 20 minutes, allowing time to change and get comfortable.
Just 12 minutes dedicated to recovery.
Move well. Recover well. Age well.
