Designed to support post-workout recovery, reduce muscle soreness, and accelerate tissue repair so you can get back to doing what you love. Serving Clive, West Des Moines, Urbandale, Johnston, Waukee, Grimes, Ankeny, and the greater Des Moines metro.
The Dahlia bed is designed to support muscle recovery, relaxation of muscle spasms, and temporary increase of local circulation, all directly relevant to post-exercise recovery.
Near-infrared light penetrates deep into muscle tissue, where research suggests it may stimulate mitochondria to support increased ATP production. This process is associated with the body's natural removal of metabolic waste, reduced inflammatory markers, and repair of micro-tears in muscle fibers. The Dahlia delivers a full-body session in 15 minutes, getting you back to training feeling better.
Research published in peer-reviewed journals suggests photobiomodulation may support reduced delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) and faster muscle repair. The Dahlia is a professional-grade system for the specific indications listed. Individual results vary.


The Dahlia is not a consumer-grade light panel. It's a professional full-body light therapy bed that delivers precise wavelengths across your entire body in a single 15-minute session, the same technology used by wellness clinics and professional athletes nationwide.
