What is Red Light Therapy?
Red Light Therapy, also called Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) or Photobiomodulation, uses therapeutic red and near-infrared light wavelengths to activate cellular healing and tissue regeneration. This painless, non-invasive therapy supports recovery by:
- Increasing ATP production (cellular energy) to accelerate healing
- Enhancing circulation for improved oxygen and nutrient delivery to damaged tissues
- Reducing inflammation and swelling without medications
- Promoting tissue repair and flexibility for better mobility
- Supporting post-surgical and injury recovery for faster rehabilitation

I am so lucky to have found Dynamic PT. They came highly recommended from a neighbor and I plan on sticking with Matt and the team for any PT needs. Each session Matt takes time to check in on how I am doing, answers all of my questions, provides explanations for any treatments and exercises, and spends a lot of time working with me. He is very knowledgeable and has given me great questions and suggestions to discuss with my primary doctor as well. The front office is very easy to work with for any questions and scheduling needs, and their online scheduler is very to easy to use as well. Thank you to Matt and the entire Dynamic PT team!

I was referred to Dynamic Physical Therapy for a lower back injury. Ariel Branden was my physical therapist and she was excellent! My objective was to get back to where I was pre-injury but I was ready to make some concessions with how I was working out. When I ran this by Ariel she challenged me and said there’s no reason you shouldn’t be able to do what you were doing pre-injury. So, she set the bar higher than I did for my rehabilitation. She did an awesome job of being informative and being able to switch paths without blinking. We tried dry needling for a couple sessions but the feedback I provided her lead her to believe other treatments would be more effective.
