Before & after a multiple-level lumbar fusion I have been using red light & infrared light therapy at home. It has been remarkably helpful in reducing pain.

“I sleep through the night and walk around pain-free. Plus I feel more relaxed and my sleep is way better”
Is a mat really strong enough?
It uses the same two wavelengths clinics use, 660 nm red and 850 nm near-infrared. The difference: a clinic treats one spot once a week. You cover your whole back, every night, for 20 minutes.

Try it for 60 nightsHow it works
How does red light help? Think of it like charging a battery.
Born from space research. In the 1990s, NASA funded research into red LED light: first to grow plants in space, then to study energy inside human cells.
Source: NASA Spinoff 2005; Whelan et al., J Clin Laser Med Surg 2001 (NASA SBIR-funded). NASA does not endorse EMBRA.
Step 1
Your body is made of tiny cells.Each one has a little battery inside.
“Red light therapy works by stimulating the cell's energy source: mitochondria.”MD Anderson Cancer Center, medically reviewed by Saba Javed, MD (2024)
Step 2
When you're sore or stiff, those batteries run low.Your body fixes itself slower.
Step 3
Red and near-infrared light goes under your skin.Your cells use it to charge up.
“The primary site of light absorption in mammalian cells has been identified as the mitochondria …”Michael R. Hamblin, PhD, then at Harvard Medical School's Wellman Center for Photomedicine (Photochem Photobiol, 2018)
Step 4
More energy helps tired muscles and joints recover.That's why many people feel looser.
Quoted from public articles and studies about red light in general. MD Anderson and Dr. Hamblin are not affiliated with EMBRA and do not endorse this product.
Two wavelengths
Red reaches the tissue. Near-infrared goes deeper, to the muscle.
- 660 nm red works in the upper layers, the skin and tissue.
- 850 nm near-infrared goes deeper, down to the muscle.
Illustration, not to scale. EMBRA uses both wavelengths: 1,410 LEDs, neck to calves.

What EMBRA Users Say

4.8 out of 5
The one that’s easiest is the mat. You can lie on your bed and use it. It takes away pain in minutes and the pain subsides for longer.
CharlotteVerified Buyer
I really feel a difference in using one for the whole body over the smaller infrared belts that I try to move around (but it takes so long to use it on different areas)
MichaelVerified Buyer
This red light mat is amazing. I have been using it almost a week and I feel good with my joint pain.
LisaVerified Buyer
I like being able to do the light therapy at home. I do it in the morning and evening at my convenience and don’t have to travel
JimVerified Buyer
“I use it every night when I stress my back. I had back surgery 15 years ago. It is helping me be much more active
ShaunVerified Buyer
My pronounced limp has reduced to a slight limp. My pain scale changed from around 8 to 3. I can now walk up and down a flight of stairs. I own a two-story house and have not been able to do that in four years!”
DarleneVerified Buyer
I could no longer take my walks. Within a week of red light therapy I was back on the road
Michael MVerified Buyer
It hasn’t cured me or anything like that, but it has certainly helped immensely with the pain and I don’t need any pain meds like Gabapentin or Lyrica at all.
Anna KVerified Buyer
My favorite is the full body mat. It has greatly helped my husband with his fibromyalgia.
Lisa SVerified Buyer
It hasn’t cured my knee issues, but wow, has it ever gotten rid of the constant 24-hour nagging pain. I have zero pain now, and when I stop using it for a few days, the pain returns.
Gina FVerified Buyer
Sep 2026
after only two uses I am feeling much better with more energy and less pain and stiffness.
LisaVerified Buyer
I’ve been using the red light mat for about a week and I already feel a difference. It has alleviated body aches and is very relaxing to use.
Mat G.Verified Buyer
The red light mat from EMBRA has completely fixed my back pain and sciatica issues.
Mike EVerified Buyer

I’ve noticed improvement to my skin, quicker workout recovery time, and improved sleep quality the weeks I can use it.
Brenda G.Verified Buyer
I just recently bought a red light mat for may back and hip that was so painful. I used it two days for 20 minutes, once each day and now my pain is gone!

Got questions? We have answers...
How do I use it?
Roll it out on your bed, lie down and press start. Use it for 10 minutes the first three nights, then 20 minutes after that.
What if it doesn't help? Can I return it after using it?
Yes. You're not stuck with it if it doesn't help. You have 60 nights from delivery, and a used mat is fine. We email you a prepaid return label and refund every dollar within 5 business days after the return arrives. There is no restocking fee and no other fee. Most mats only take returns unused, or charge a restocking fee. We'd rather you decide after real nights on your own bed.
What if a part breaks?
We send you a new one first. It has a 2-year warranty, so if an LED or the controller stops working, you're covered.
Will it fit my bed? How do I store it?
It is 71″ × 31.5″ (180 × 80 cm) and fits on any bed, couch or floor. It rolls up in about 30 seconds.
What's the difference between Mat Kit and Bag Premium?
The Mat Kit is the full-body mat with controller and goggles, plus a free relief belt. Bag Premium is a bag instead of the mat, so your front and back get the light at once, and it comes with a free relief belt and a free neck & shoulder wrap ($398 value).
Who shouldn't use it?
Ask your doctor first if you're pregnant, have light-triggered epilepsy or an active implant.
When does it arrive?
It arrives in 7 to 10 business days, and shipping in the US is free. You get tracking by email.
Can I pay monthly?
Yes. With Shop Pay you can split the payment at checkout. The options for your order are shown under the price.
