Infrared light therapy is a non-invasive, science-backed wellness tool that supports your body’s natural healing processes. It works by delivering wavelengths of light that penetrate deep below the skin’s surface — stimulating circulation, reducing inflammation, and supporting tissue repair at a cellular level.

At Honeybee Massage in Colorado Springs, I use a high-powered medical-grade infrared panel, to provide targeted support to areas of tension, pain, or chronic discomfort during your massage session.

What is Infrared Light Therapy?

Infrared light isn’t heat in the traditional sense — it’s a wavelength of light that your body absorbs, and in turn, your cells respond. It helps boost ATP production (your body’s natural energy source), reduce oxidative stress, and improve blood flow — all while you rest comfortably under the panel, fully supported and relaxed.

This gentle, restorative therapy enhances the benefits of massage and offers added support for chronic pain, muscle recovery, and nervous system regulation.

How Infrared LIght Therapy Fits into your session

Integration Into Targeted Treatments

Infrared light therapy is seamlessly integrated into your Custom Therapeutic Massage session at no additional charge. Once you’re on the table, I’ll position the panel above key areas — usually your back, hips, or shoulders — and let it work quietly in the background while I focus on hands-on work.

You’ll feel a gentle, soothing warmth — never hot or uncomfortable — as the light supports your body from within. This frequency-based therapy is thoughtfully paired with massage to complement your session and enhance its therapeutic effect.

I specifically selected this panel for its strength and broad light range — to give your body the best possible support during your massage and elevate the overall impact of your time on the table.

Benefits of Infrared Light Therapy During Massage

It’s especially helpful if you’re experiencing:

  • Chronic muscle tension or inflammation

  • Slow recovery from overuse or injury

  • Joint pain or stiffness

  • Fatigue, burnout, or stress-related pain

  • Nervous system dysregulation or overwhelm

Infrared light is one of the best ways to gently support your recovery and enhance your massage results — especially when you're dealing with stress-related physical symptoms. It helps calm the body and mind by helping you sink into a relaxed state more quickly.

What to Expect During Infrared Light Therapy

  • Most commonly placed over the back, the panel can run for up to 20 minutes. This is all you really need for your body to absorb the therapeutic effects.

    For integrated sessions, you’ll enjoy the combined soothing benefits of massage and light therapy simultaneously.

  • Infrared light therapy is safe for most individuals. However, it’s not recommended if you:

    • Are pregnant.

    • Have active skin infections, burns, or wounds.

    • Are taking photosensitive medications.

    • Have certain medical implants, such as pacemakers, without prior doctor approval.

    If you have any health concerns, feel free to reach out before your appointment to discuss your suitability for this treatment.
