Technology

How red light therapy supports animal care

Two wavelengths, one wearable format. Here is how the technology is applied, how a session is planned, and where professional veterinary guidance fits in.

Two wavelengths

660nm visible red and 850nm near-infrared

Visible red light is applied close to the surface, while near-infrared reaches further into the tissue. Combined in a flexible pad, they allow one device to support a broad range of routine care.

660nm

Visible red light

Applied at the surface, this wavelength is used for skin, coat and superficial areas.

850nm

Near-infrared light

Reaches deeper into tissue and is typically used for muscle and joint areas.

Wearable format

Flexible wrap design

Pads and wraps follow the contours of the animal so the light stays in place during a session.

Applications

Where partners use light therapy

Every animal and routine is different. These are the areas where clinics, stables and owners most often apply our devices — always as part of supervised care.

Comfort & relaxation

Warm, non-invasive light sessions are often used to support comfort before or after training and exercise.

Recovery routine support

A structured light routine can be part of a supervised recovery plan for horses, dogs and cats.

Circulation & warmth

Gentle warmth from the panel is applied to the chosen area to accompany the body's own recovery processes.

Muscle tension

Widely used with working horses and sporting dogs as a complementary measure around activity.

Long-term care

Used under veterinary guidance for animals that need ongoing, low-intensity support.

Session planning

A simple five-step routine

Consistency matters more than intensity. This is the structure we recommend partners and clinics follow.

  1. 1

    Assess the area

    Check the treatment area with your vet or practitioner and confirm a suitable session plan.

  2. 2

    Fit the device

    Wrap or place the pad so the light sits comfortably against the area, without pressure points.

  3. 3

    Run the session

    Follow the agreed session length and keep the animal supervised throughout.

  4. 4

    Clean and store

    Wipe the surface after use and store the device in a dry place, cable checked for damage.

  5. 5

    Review the plan

    Track how the animal responds and adjust the routine together with your care professional.

Safety

Use it the right way

Light therapy devices are auxiliary products. These notes keep sessions safe and comfortable for the animal.

Use only under supervision; a device is not a replacement for veterinary diagnosis or treatment.
Stop the session if the animal shows signs of discomfort, heat sensitivity or restlessness.
Do not apply to eyes, open wounds or areas of unexplained swelling without veterinary advice.
Confirm suitability for pregnant, very young or post-surgical animals with your vet first.

caremotus devices are auxiliary physical therapy products for animals. They do not replace professional veterinary diagnosis, advice or treatment. Always consult your veterinarian before starting a new routine.
