Soft Tissue Therapy
Loosen what's locked up.
What it's for
Built for muscles, tendons and connective tissue that are holding onto tightness or strain, including the tissue around a sore joint. It runs on the full-body Light Pod L3, with muscle recovery and tissue healing as the two goals.

Why members choose it
- Muscle recovery for tightness and strain that has been holding on.
- Tissue healing for tendons and connective tissue, the goal the wound-healing research speaks to.
- Covers the tissue around a working joint as well as the muscle itself.
What the research says
- In a 50-person placebo-controlled trial, men who had light treatment after hard leg exercise had less soreness, better strength recovery and lower muscle-damage markers over the next four days, and did better than ice packs. A targeted laser-and-LED device on the thigh, not a full-body pod. Read the study
- In a controlled oral-surgery trial, the side treated with light had smaller wounds at one and two weeks than the untreated side. Targeted laser on a mouth wound in 14 people. Pain was the same on both sides. Read the study
These studies used targeted devices, not a full-body pod. None of them tested the L3 itself.
Who it suits, and when
For a guest dealing with tightness, strain or soft-tissue discomfort in muscles, tendons and connective tissue, including around a knee, shoulder or back that has been working hard.
How often
2-3 times a week is common while something is actively bothering you, dropping to as-needed once it settles.
