Everyone knows that a bit of heat (or ice) can be the perfect thing to relieve pain. Bright Health Therapy hopes to provide just as much relief with its Foot Relief device — and without the need for a hot water bottle or an IcyHot Patch.
The Bright Health Therapy device transmits infrared light just below the surface of the skin to stimulate cells, increase circulation, and help oxygenate damaged areas. In other words, it’s aimed at promoting faster healing. Bright Health Therapy recommends using the device at least three times per day for 20 minutes at a time, but warns that pain relief might not be instantaneous; users might need to go through a few sessions before they feel a difference.
Bright Health Therapy notes that this device is intended just for pain relief and should not be used as a treatment or cure for issues like neuropathy or arthritis. While it might provide some relief, it’s not a medical treatment. It’s not just an idea, either — medical professionals routinely use light therapy to treat pain, especially in athletic and physical therapy environments.
Light therapy is a Food and Drug Administration-approved method for treating pain. It’s also one of the main tools in the fight against opiate addiction. When someone wants to avoid painkillers (substances that are increasingly frowned upon due to the frequency of their prescriptions), light therapy is an alternative solution. Until now, it hasn’t been available for at-home use.
The Bright Health Foot Relief device looks a little bit like a scale. You place your feet in the designated areas and rest them there while 124 medical-grade infrared and red light LEDs distribute the light throughout your skin. It’s suitable for all skin types, is easy to clean, and small enough to be stored away when not in use.
The Bright Health Foot Relief device is available for a limited time at the launch price of $200, after which it will increase to the regular price point of $250. If you suffer foot pain as a result of your job, because of sports, or just as a result of planar fasciitis, the Bright Health Foot Relief might not cure your problem, but it can ease some of the symptoms.

If you are someone who suffers from foot pain, you know how debilitating it can be. Not only is it difficult to walk or stand, but the pain can also keep you up at night. You may have tried all sorts of remedies, from over-the-counter medications to acupuncture, but nothing seems to help. Well, we have good news for you! There is a new device on the market that promises to provide relief from foot pain: the Bright Health Red Light Therapy Foot Pain Relief Device. In this review, we will take a closer look at this device and explore the health benefits of red light therapy for relieving pain.
So this is perhaps one of the strangest products that we’ve reviewed in a while. There are a lot of folks who swear by the concept of “Red Light Therapy” for a variety of reasons and so I was excited to check this unit out – more on that below. However, you can’t help but be skeptical when a product name looks like it was literally written by the SEO team. Honestly, I have no way to test this “Red Light Therapy Foot Pain Relief Device” (yes, the official title) so I can’t say if it works or not, but here are my wife and I’s thoughts after using it for a few weeks.
What Is Red Light Therapy For Foot Pain Relief?
There is a growing interest in various forms of light therapy to help stimulate the growth, and regrowth, of human cells. It first came into the alternative health community because of good results that scientists found with using Red Light Therapy (RLT) to stimulate plant growth in space and so the thinking was that it would likewise help with animal cells too.
While there have been numerous studies since then, a lack of peer-reviewed studies in major medical journals has kept it mostly in the domain of holistic medical practitioners.
However, those folks who are looking to try something new should definitely consider this type of therapy and in fact, we’ve used a medical grade version of this for our dog to help relieve back pain before she passed away. While it didn’t allow her to survive, she seemed more mobile after her sessions with Animal Healing Center here in San Diego who refers to RLT as “Cold Laser Therapy”.
As a result, we were curious to try Bright Health’s device and see how it helped with foot pain in humans.
When you look around the internet for more information on your own, please know that Red Light Therapy goes under a variety of different names and while some have slight differences, they all operate on the same principle.
Here are some names to look for: photobiomodulation (PBM), low level light therapy (LLLT), soft laser therapy, cold laser therapy, biostimulation, photonic stimulation, low-power laser therapy (LPLT). Some practitioners also use it in conjunction with therapeutic medicines as well depending on what the healing objective is.
However, they all operate under the same principle: red light is believed to stimulate mitochondria to produce energy in cells. This will help in a variety of ways from stimulating repair, reducing swelling, or simply making the cellular operation more efficient.
In the case of foot pain relief, Red Light Therapy is said to help with wound healing, muscle relaxation, and relieving pain related to arthritis, neuropathy, plantar fasciitis, tendonitis, and pretty much anything that causes pain related to muscles and joints.
Let’s Talk About Bright Health’s Red Light Therapy Foot Pain Relief Device
Bright Health’s device is a plastic platform that you plug into the wall and rest your feet on the LED outline so you can use it to direct the energy directly into the soles of your feet. If you have pain in the top of your feet, ankles etc. this is not that sort of product.
The 15″x17.5″x3.25″ device contains 124 medical-grade Infrared and Red Light LEDs that are designed to deliver 880nm Infrared Light that is invisible to the human eye, as well as 660nm Red Light. The device is also OTC Class II Medical Device rated, FDA Cleared as an Infrared and Red Light Natural Pain Relief Device, and there’s a 100% product guarantee.
While it feels good quality, it is designed to have your feet rest on it, not for standing or pressing down with high pressure.
Bright Health suggests users try 20 minute treatments no more than 3 times per day for maximum benefit.
Frankly, I can’t say for certain that it works but just the experience of taking time to rest my feet on the pad was a nice excuse to relax. However, my one critique is that I wish they could figure out a way to include a rechargeable battery since having to use it close to a wall outlet limits the usefulness.
