Red Light Therapy for Recovery in Zürich

What is Red Light Therapy?

Red Light Therapy, or photobiomodulation, exposes the body to red and near-infrared light at defined wavelengths. The light reaches the cells and supports the production of energy in the mitochondria. After effort this accompanies the body's own repair of muscle tissue and promotes circulation. It is not UV light and does not tan or burn.

The Recovery & Regeneration programme

The Alpinglow cabin at Anida Lab runs three programmes. Recovery & Regeneration is tuned for the hours after effort, when muscles repair and the body asks for circulation. You book a ten-minute session after your class or your run, choose the programme on the panel and the cabin surrounds the body with red and near-infrared light, with a dedicated panel for the head. The programme ends on its own.

When to use it

Directly after training, a class or a long day on your feet; within a few hours of the effort is ideal. Book the class and the slot after it in the same schedule. A shake or a coffee at the Anida Café completes the visit.

Who it is for

For anyone who trains hard and wants to recover faster between sessions, for runners and cyclists with heavy legs the day after, for people who sit a lot and feel the stiffness in the back and the shoulders, and for members who close every class with ten minutes of light.

Price and passes

A single session costs CHF 30 with the Guest Pass, valid for seven days. A pack of ten sessions costs CHF 240, twenty sessions CHF 400. The Movement + membership includes Red Light Therapy with every class. Sessions run Monday to Friday from 06:30 to 21:30 and at weekends from 09:00 to 15:00.

Where to find us in Zürich

Anida Lab is at Gotthardstrasse 40, 8002 Zürich, in the Enge quarter of Kreis 2. Bahnhof Enge is a few minutes on foot, with S-Bahn and tram connections to the main station, Paradeplatz and the lake. The lab is open Monday to Friday from 06:30 to 21:30 and at weekends from 09:00 to 15:00, which makes a class before work, at lunchtime or on the way home realistic for people who live or work in Enge, Wollishofen, Wiedikon, the city center and along the lake.

Under one roof you find the Aura Room, the Reformer Room, the Red Light Therapy cabin, the analyses of Therapy Base and the Anida Café. A class, ten minutes of red light and a coffee fit into one visit.
