What Our Customers Are Saying?

Margaret T., 66

Flexion progress:
Week 1: 65° → Week 4: 110° → Week 8: 138° ✓

"I was skeptical — I've tried every gadget my daughter has sent me. But I was desperate. I used RedRelief 20 minutes before PT and 20 minutes after. By week two the swelling was down enough that I stopped the heavy pain meds. My PT was shocked at week six when I hit 130. I'm ahead of every milestone my surgeon set for me."

David L., 72 — 3rd Knee Surgery

"I've done this recovery twice before, so I know what a bad one feels like. This was the easiest of the three by a mile. If you're facing this surgery, don't do it without this. That's my honest opinion after three knee surgeries."

Susan K., 58

"I cried after my first three PT appointments. I'm not exaggerating — I told my husband I couldn't do it anymore. My daughter-in-law found RedRelief and I was so skeptical, but at that point I would've tried anything. I started using it 20 minutes before PT to loosen the joint and 20 minutes after to calm the swelling. Within a week, PT stopped being torture. My therapist actually asked what I was doing differently. I hit 130 degrees at week 10 — my surgeon's goal was 120 by week 12."

How Does RedRelief™ Help Post Op Knee Recovery?

Red light and infrared therapy has shown promise as a gentle, non-invasive option for easing post op pain, discomfort and boosting knee recovery post op knee replacement surgery.

Targets inflammation at the source

Red light therapy (also called photobiomodulation) targets inflammation by changing how your cells produce energy, manage oxidative stress, and regulate inflammatory chemicals. Think of it less like a “heat treatment” and more like a cellular signaling therapy.

Stimulates your body’s natural healing response

Red light therapy stimulates your body’s natural healing response by activating the same cellular repair pathways your body uses after injury — just faster and more efficiently.

Backed by thousands of studies and used by physical therapists worldwide

15+ years of research done on red light therapy. Several hundreds of clinical studies, research, papers and journals.

Safe, non-invasive, and side-effect free

Safe, non-invasive, and largely side-effect free because it uses low-energy light to stimulate biological processes — without damaging tissue, breaking skin, or introducing drugs into the body.

Why Does PT Hurt So Much After Knee Replacement?

If physical therapy after your knee surgery feels unbearable, your body isn't failing you.

You're healing in a hostile environment. The good news: you can calm the inflammation, protect your progress, and make PT tolerable again, without reaching for more pills.

You expected some discomfort. You didn't expect this. A knee that feels like it might tear when you bend it.

Sessions that leave you shaking, sore for days, dreading the next appointment.

The constant worry that pushing too hard will set you back—or not pushing hard enough will slow you down.

And sometimes a therapist who doesn't seem to hear you when the pain gets to be too much.

If physical therapy feels more traumatic than therapeutic, you're not alone. And you're not weak.

Here's why it hurts so much: after surgery, your knee isn't just healing—it's inflamed.

PT forces movement into tissue that's swollen, starved of oxygen, and already firing pain signals to protect itself.

That sets off a vicious cycle. Pain limits movement. Limited movement causes stiffness. Stiffness makes the next session even more painful. And pain leads to more medication—or skipped appointments.

PT isn't the problem. Uncontrolled inflammation is.

That's why more people recovering from knee surgery are adding red light therapy to their routine—not to replace physical therapy, but to make it survivable, effective, and faster.

Used between sessions, it helps reduce deep inflammation, improve circulation to the healing tissue, and calm pain signals before your next appointment.

Why 20 Minutes Before and After PT Matters.

The timing of red light and infrared therapy is what turns a good tool into a game-changer. A short 20-minute session on each side of your appointment can completely change how PT feels—and how quickly you recover.

20 minutes BEFORE physical therapy:

Warms and loosens stiff, guarded tissue so your knee moves more freely
Increases blood flow so muscles and joints are better prepared for movement
Calms pain signals in advance, so exercises don't feel as sharp
Helps you reach greater range of motion with less resistance
Reduces the "bracing" reflex that makes every bend feel like a battle

20 minutes AFTER physical therapy:

Cools down the inflammation PT stirs up before it snowballs
Speeds up recovery so you're not sore for days afterward
Flushes out waste products from stressed tissue
Supports overnight healing so you wake up looser, not stiffer
Cuts down on the "day-after crash" that leaves you dreading the next session

Used this way—before and after each appointment—red light and infrared therapy doesn't replace your PT.

It makes it survivable, more effective, and far less painful. That's why a growing number of post-surgical patients are adding RedRelief to their recovery routine: same PT, less suffering, faster progress.

Go Through PT With Less Pain and Hit Your Knee Flexion Goals Quicker.

Here's something most patients don't realize: your cells are capable of healing much faster and more efficiently than they typically do after surgery.

The bottleneck isn't your body's potential—it's the environment you're giving your cells to work with.

Deep inside your surgical site, your body is working overtime. Tiny structures called mitochondria (the "power plants" inside every cell) are producing energy to fuel repair.

Special cells are laying down new tissue. Blood vessels are trying to deliver oxygen and nutrients to the area. But when inflammation is high and circulation is poor, all of this runs at half-speed.

It's like asking a construction crew to build a house in the dark with half the materials—the job still gets done, but it takes twice as long, and the results aren't as strong.

To turn that around, three things need to happen at the cellular level:

PENETRATE — The light has to actually reach the healing tissue. Near-infrared wavelengths (810–850nm) pass through skin and muscle to where the repair is happening.
ENERGIZE — Once there, that light is absorbed by the mitochondria, giving your cells the extra energy they need to rebuild.
CALM — Excess inflammation gets quieted, circulation improves, and nutrients can finally flow freely to the repair site.

Miss even one of these, and your cells stay stuck at half-speed.

That's why heat alone falls short (surface warmth only, no cellular boost).

Why massage alone falls short (can't reach the deep repair site).

Why rest alone falls short (no circulation boost, no energy boost). You need all three—at the same time, from a single source.

Research Backed Clinical Studies and Results

Red light therapy isn't new age wellness nonsense. It's a clinically studied technology that's been used by professional athletes, military personnel, and now, smart post-surgical patients who refuse to accept months of suffering as inevitable.

Here's how it works:

When specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light (typically 660nm and 850nm) penetrate your skin, they reach deep into your tissues—including muscles, tendons, ligaments, and even bone.

At the cellular level, these light wavelengths are absorbed by your mitochondria, triggering a cascade of beneficial biological responses:

Increased ATP Production: Your cells produce more energy (ATP), which they use to repair damage, clear waste products, and function optimally. More cellular energy means faster tissue repair and regeneration.

Reduced Inflammation: Red light therapy modulates inflammatory markers, helping your body maintain the right amount of inflammation for healing without the excessive inflammation that delays recovery and causes pain.

Enhanced Blood Flow: Light therapy stimulates the formation of new capillaries and improves circulation, delivering more oxygen and nutrients to your healing tissues while removing metabolic waste more efficiently.

Collagen Synthesis: Red light stimulates fibroblasts to produce more collagen, the structural protein your body uses to rebuild damaged tissue and minimize scar formation.

Pain Reduction: By reducing inflammation and stimulating endorphin release, red light therapy addresses pain at its source rather than simply masking symptoms.

The result? Your body heals the way it's supposed to—efficiently, thoroughly, and with minimal complications.

Here's What RedRelief Does For You

Recovering from a total or partial knee replacement?

Swelling, stiffness and PT sessions that leave you sore for days are normal after surgery, but they don't have to set your pace. RedRelief™ is built for the weeks after surgery: 20 minutes before PT to loosen the joint, 20 minutes after to calm the swelling.

The RedRelief™ Knee Brace uses clinically-backed red and infrared light therapy plus therapeutic heat to help your knee heal — safely, naturally, and from home. In just 20 minutes, twice a day, it works to:

Reduce inflammation and swelling in the knee joint so movement feels easier.
Boost circulation and oxygen flow to knee tissues to speed up healing.
Break down scar tissue and adhesion to restore flexibility in stiff knees.
Strengthen soft tissue (muscles, tendons) for smoother, pain-free movement.
Soothe irritated nerves for lasting pain relief.

This is the same technology trusted by physical therapists and pro athletes — now available for everyday recovery at home.

Compare it to the cost of multiple PT sessions or endless doctor visits. RedRelief™ is an investment in lasting relief. Every night you delay is another night of pain and broken sleep.

Red light therapy for knee pain (1992). In a pioneering trial with older adults, just 10 days of red light treatments cut knee pain by over 50% and improved mobility.
Low-level laser therapy for knee osteoarthritis (2009). In a placebo-controlled study, 4 weeks of twice-weekly infrared laser therapy significantly reduced knee pain and even improved local circulation in the knee – changes not seen in the placebo group.
High-intensity vs low-level laser in knee rehab (2014). A clinical trial found adding laser therapy to exercise led to faster pain reduction and better knee function than exercise alone; even standard red light therapy outperformed exercise-only rehab in relieving pain and disability.
Laser therapy for knee arthritis – systematic review (2019). A review of clinical trials concluded that low-level laser therapy significantly decreases knee pain and disability in osteoarthritis, especially when applied at optimal therapeutic wavelengths and doses.

Over 30 years of research supports using red and infrared light therapy to treat knee pain and restore joint mobility.

One clinical study of 53 patients with knee osteoarthritis found that combining red light therapy with a rehab exercise program led to greater pain relief and functional improvement than exercise alone.

After 6 weeks, patients who received laser therapy plus exercise reported lower pain scores and better knee function, highlighting that adding red light therapy enhances standard treatment – helping to relieve knee pain and improve daily movement.
