Red light therapy · NovoTHOR & THOR laser · Chiswick W4
Red light therapy, at the dose that works
Two clinical systems under one roof: the NovoTHOR full-body pod for whole-system recovery, and the THOR laser for precise, targeted treatment. Twenty-minute sessions, no UV, no downtime — a short walk from Chiswick High Road.

System 01 · Full body
NovoTHOR: the whole body, in one session
The photobiomodulation pod used in elite sport and NHS rehabilitation. You lie back with eyewear on and every part of you receives the dose at once — warm, quiet and done in twenty minutes.
Because it treats the whole system rather than one spot, NovoTHOR is the tool for goals that live everywhere at once: recovery, energy, widespread pain, skin and sleep.
01
Athletic recovery
Less soreness between sessions and a faster return to full training load.
02
Joint pain & arthritis
Knees, hips and hands — easing stiffness, flare-ups and morning starts.
03
Chronic & widespread pain
Whole-body dosing for pain that refuses to stay in one place.
04
Skin & healthy ageing
Collagen, tone and healing — with none of the UV that ages skin.
05
Energy & fatigue
Supporting cellular ATP production when you are running on empty.
06
Sleep & wind-down
Warm, screen-free and genuinely calming — evening slots go first.
07
Pre-event priming
A session before competition or a heavy block, borrowed from elite sport.
08
Long-term inflammation
A repeatable, whole-system habit for people playing the long game.
System 02 · Targeted
THOR laser: precision for the area holding you back
Where NovoTHOR treats the system, THOR laser concentrates the dose on a single joint, tendon or patch of tissue — delivered by a practitioner, straight onto the problem. Its range runs from sports injuries to dental care.
Sessions are shorter and are often layered into physiotherapy and manual therapy, so the light works alongside the rehab rather than instead of it.
01
Tendinopathy
Achilles, tennis and golfer’s elbow, rotator cuff and patellar tendon.
02
Knee pain & osteoarthritis
Focused dosing on the joint itself, not everything around it.
03
Back & neck pain
Local treatment for stubborn segments that flare under load.
04
Sprains & sports injuries
Acute strains, sprains and knocks — treated early, healed sooner.
05
Nerve pain
Sciatica and neuropathic pain patterns that ignore everything else.
06
Dental & oral health
Used in dentistry and oncology support for oral mucositis, TMJ jaw pain and healing in the mouth.
07
Post-surgical recovery
Supporting tissue healing and scar quality after an operation.
08
Plantar fasciitis & foot pain
Precise dosing exactly where every step hurts.
09
Inside your rehab plan
Layered into physiotherapy and manual therapy at the clinic.
Whole-body goals
Start with NovoTHOR
Recovery, energy, skin, sleep, widespread pain — anything that lives in the whole system.
One stubborn area
Start with THOR laser
A named joint, tendon or injury — or oral and jaw problems — that has resisted everything else you have tried.

Full-body sessions for the system, laser on the problem — and we will tell you honestly if a course is unlikely to help.
The science
From light to ATP
Red and near-infrared wavelengths pass into tissue and are absorbed by mitochondria, driving up ATP — the energy every repair process in the body runs on. That is the whole mechanism, and it is why one technology shows up in so many different use cases.
How the light reaches you
Red wavelengths work at the surface — skin, collagen, healing. Near-infrared travels deeper, into muscle and joint, which is what makes recovery and pain applications possible. NovoTHOR delivers both, over the whole body at once.
How mitochondria turn it into ATP
Inside the cell, the photon is absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondria, and ATP production rises. More ATP means more energy for repair, better circulation and calmer inflammatory signalling — felt as recovery, less pain and healthier tissue.

From photon to ATP: how photobiomodulation actually works
We wrote the mechanism up properly — what the light does inside the cell, why the dose matters, and where the evidence sits. No hand-waving.
What to expect
Your first session
A full-body NovoTHOR session takes around twenty minutes: protective eyewear on, lie back in the pod, and let the light work. It is warm, quiet and genuinely pleasant. Targeted laser sessions are shorter and focused on the treatment area.
There is nothing to recover from afterwards. Most people book straight before or after work and carry on with the day.
Does red light therapy cause cancer?
No. These wavelengths contain no UV, the part of light linked to skin cancer, and the research to date shows no cancer risk. If you are currently under oncology care, tell us at booking and we will check suitability with you before your first session.
Dosage
Two to three sessions a week is where the results sit
Most goals respond best to two or three sessions weekly for several weeks, then maintenance. One session feels good; a course is what changes anything measurable.
Which is exactly the problem a single-session price creates — and the reason we built a membership around the dose, not the visit.
