What $849 gets you
The whole back, or both legs, in one session, no moving a small panel around. It is the one recovery tool that asks nothing of you except lying down.
What it does
The same red and near-infrared effect, across the whole back or both legs at once. De Marchi 2017; Tsou 2025.
In trials, less strength was lost after hard sessions when the light was used around exercise. Leal-Junior 2009; Baroni 2010.
The whole back after a shift, a drive, or a week at a desk. Lie on it with the TV on.
Red light at the surface is studied for collagen and skin tone. Lying on the mat covers the skin as well as what is under it.
Every type of product we sell is used daily in our own rehab clinic. 1-year warranty, spares and support answered from Australia.
The athletes who train with REDi
Same brand, same clinic, same standards. If it holds up to a Games season, it'll hold up to your Tuesday.




When to use it
Fifteen to twenty minutes lying on it. The whole back, or both legs, in one go.
Mat on the couch or bed, lie on it, timer set. Face up for the back, face down for the legs.
The back after a shift or a drive. Fifteen minutes before dinner.
Both legs before the day starts, for the mornings they are heavier than the night before.
Daily. It asks nothing of you but lying down.
How it works, across the whole mat
Your back isn't old. It's just slower to refuel. Three things happen in every muscle the mat covers. Each one is measured in the literature, not inferred. The work does the heavy lifting. This helps it pay off sooner.
Red (660nm) and near-infrared (850nm) light is absorbed by cytochrome c oxidase in the mitochondria, which is thought to increase cellular energy (ATP) production.
Hamblin 2017, AIMS Biophysics (review)In placebo-controlled trials, 660nm and 850nm LED light before exercise let athletes perform more contractions before fatigue and reduced the loss of strength afterwards.
Leal-Junior 2009; Baroni 2010Trials have found lower creatine kinase, a marker of muscle damage, and less soreness at 72 hours when red and near-infrared LED light was used around exercise.
Leal-Junior 2009; De Marchi 20172,400 LEDs: 800 red + 1,600 near-infrared, around 130 mW/cm² at skin contact, mains-powered so the output you set is the output you get for the whole session. Twice the near-infrared count, because depth is the job of a mat you lie on.
Aura 100 or Anywhere Precision?
Same wavelengths, different job. The Precision is a wireless wrap for one area at a time, wherever you are. The Aura is the mat you lie on at home. The whole back or both legs at once, with more output because it runs off the wall. Wrap if you travel and target; mat if you want the couch to do the work. Plenty of people end up with both.

How a session goes
The simplest routine you will ever keep. Fifteen minutes, most days, while you would be sitting anyway.
Couch, bed or floor. Lie with the area you want against the mat. Face up for the back, face down for the legs and glutes.
10–20 minutes on the handset. Pick red, near-infrared or both. Dim it if you like. Start moderate.
TV, book, nothing. It switches off by itself.
Into the bag, under the couch. Out again tomorrow.
The protocol
15 minutes is the sweet spot. 10–20 depending on the day.
Most days. 3–5× per week for routine recovery; daily if training load is high.
After training, or before bed. Consistency matters more than timing.
Both wavelengths, moderate dimmer, continuous. Adjust as your routine develops.
Avoid directing light into the eyes; use appropriate eyewear if using it near the face. If pregnant, epileptic, photosensitive, or on photosensitising medication, check with your clinician first. Avoid use over active malignancy unless advised by your clinician. Do not use on open wounds unless cleared by a medical professional.
Jayson, exercise physiologist, Sunshine Coast.
Every type of product we sell is used daily in our own rehab clinic. If it doesn't hold up with the people I treat, it doesn't go on the site. The Aura exists because the people who came in least often were the ones who needed the simplest routine. A mat you lie on, at home, with the TV on, is the one they keep.
