Red Light Therapy

Red Light Therapy in Orange County — gentle, non-invasive treatment to reduce pelvic pain, accelerate C-section recovery, and support postpartum healing.

What is Red Light Therapy?

Red Light Therapy (also called Low-Level Laser Therapy or Photobiomodulation) is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. The light penetrates deep into tissues to reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and accelerate repair at the cellular level.

At Sarton Pelvic Healing, we are proud to be one of the few pelvic floor physical therapy clinics in Orange County offering Red Light Therapy as part of an integrative pelvic health program. This treatment is especially effective for C-section recovery, pelvic pain, postpartum healing, and chronic inflammation.

How It Helps

  • Accelerates tissue healing after C-sections, hysterectomies, or other pelvic surgeries
  • Reduces inflammation and pain in the pelvic region, low back, and hips
  • Improves circulation and supports lymphatic flow for faster recovery
  • Softens scar tissue and adhesions when combined with manual therapy
  • Supports postpartum healing, including diastasis recti, perineal tears, and pelvic floor dysfunction
  • Enhances energy at the cellular level by stimulating mitochondria, the body’s “powerhouses”

 

Evidence-Based Rationale

Red Light Therapy works through photobiomodulation, where light energy (photons) is absorbed by your cells. This stimulates the mitochondria to produce more energy (ATP), supporting faster tissue repair and reduced inflammation. Research supports its effectiveness in post-surgical healing, pain reduction, and soft tissue recovery, making it a powerful tool when paired with pelvic floor physical therapy.

What to Expect

You’ll rest comfortably while a therapeutic red light panel or handheld device is directed at the treatment area — such as the abdomen, pelvic region, or low back. The light penetrates gently through the skin to reach deep tissues, without heat or discomfort.

Typical Duration and Frequency

Sessions typically last 15–30 minutes and are often combined with manual pelvic floor therapy or scar tissue treatment. Many patients begin with 1–2 sessions per week, tapering as healing improves.

Sensations and Safety Considerations

Red Light Therapy is gentle, non-invasive, and pain-free. Most patients describe the sensation as soothing warmth, though many feel nothing at all during treatment. It is safe for most patients, including postpartum women, and has no downtime.
