NovoTHOR® is a whole-body red-light therapy bed that uses red and near-infrared light to treat injuries, reduce pain, relax muscles/joints, and increase blood circulation.
Red light therapy is a treatment that uses 660nm visible red light and 850nm near-infrared light that can be used for many conditions of the human body. These wavelengths activate several biological processes that are perceived to be good for health.
Is the term used for how both visible red and near-infrared helps the body heal and relieve pain. infrared light is invisible to the naked eye, but our bodies can feel the energy as warmth or heat. Red light is like infrared; however, it is visible. When our bodies encounter these forms of light therapy, this increases the energy center of the cell enhancing cellular respiration in the mitochondria which activates Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP). This cellular energy production via PBM therapy facilitates a healing & regenerative response by the body. ATP synthesized in the mitochondria is the primary energy source for intrinsic biological functions, such as muscle contraction, nerve impulse transmission, and protein synthesis. This can result in improved energy, wellness and sense of wellbeing.
Life Changing
Pharmaceutical medicine covers up pain by interfering with chemical signals. As we become more aware of the long-term effects caused by the extensive use of pharmaceutical drugs and how it is a poor solution for chronic pain, people have been turning to NovoTHOR® as a solution for managing their pain without the use of NSAIDs or opioids – with life changing results. NovoTHOR® relaxes and redevelops muscles – relieving the pain at the source, instead of just hiding it.
At Acupuncture Zen, we are proud to offer the NovoTHOR® Whole Body Photobiomodulation (PBM) Pod — the gold standard in red light therapy, trusted by elite athletes, US Special Forces, Olympians, and professional sports teams worldwide. Now available right here in Delray Beach, this revolutionary, drug-free therapy helps you recover faster, perform better, and feel your best from the inside out.
The NovoTHOR® is a full-body light therapy pod developed by THOR Photomedicine, the global leader in photobiomodulation research since 1991. It delivers precise wavelengths of red and near-infrared light across your entire body simultaneously, stimulating your cells at the mitochondrial level to trigger a cascade of powerful biological benefits.
Step inside the future of recovery. A patient relaxes inside the NovoTHOR® Whole Body PBM Pod at Acupuncture Zen in Delray Beach — 20 minutes of full-body red and near-infrared light therapy for pain relief, faster recovery, better sleep, and peak performance.
This is not a tanning bed, infrared sauna, or wellness trend. NovoTHOR® is evidence-based regenerative medicine — backed by over 500 human clinical trials and more than 4,000 laboratory studies. THOR has collaborated with 6 Harvard Medical research groups and 30 universities worldwide and contributed to over 51 peer-reviewed publications.
At the cellular level, photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy:
Performance & Athletic Recovery NovoTHOR® is a game-changer for anyone who trains, competes, or simply wants to stay active. Clinical studies using THOR photobiomodulation technology have demonstrated that athletes generated 38% more muscle force on average compared to placebo, and competitive cyclists exercised 19% longer before reaching exhaustion, with 42% less Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) following their workouts. Whether you are a weekend warrior or a professional competitor, NovoTHOR® helps you train harder, recover faster, and stay in the game longer.
Pain Relief & Healing PBM therapy is widely used in clinical medicine for its powerful anti-inflammatory and tissue-repair effects. Patients at Acupuncture Zen regularly report significant reductions in both chronic and acute pain, faster healing of injuries, and improved joint mobility following NovoTHOR® sessions. It is particularly effective when combined with acupuncture, laser therapy, and dry needling as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
Relaxation, Sleep & Overall Wellness Beyond performance and pain, the most commonly reported experience from NovoTHOR® patients is a profound sense of relaxation and improved energy — often noticed within hours of the first session. Regular users consistently report deeper, more restorative sleep, reduced stress levels, and a general improvement in their sense of well-being.
Skin Health & Rejuvenation The collagen-stimulating effects of red light therapy make NovoTHOR® a natural choice for skin health. Patients report improvements in skin tone and texture, a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and clearer skin with reduced acne — all without any chemicals, downtime, or invasive procedures.
NovoTHOR® is trusted at the highest levels of human performance and medical care:
Each NovoTHOR® session is 20 minutes — you simply relax inside the pod while the light does the work. There is no pain, no heat discomfort, and no downtime. You can return to your normal activities immediately.
Recommended frequency:
Everyone responds uniquely, but most patients notice a difference either during their first session or within a few hours afterward. Some people feel the benefit one to two days after their initial treatment as the body’s healing response builds. If you fall into that category, a short series of sessions is typically all that is needed to get your system fully attuned to the therapy — after which results tend to come faster and last longer.
NovoTHOR® is not a wellness gimmick — it is clinically validated regenerative medicine. PBM has been shown to upregulate the body’s own antioxidant defenses, reduce oxidative stress, and actively promote cellular regeneration, making it one of the most powerful non-invasive therapies available today. With no known side effects and a growing body of evidence spanning hundreds of human trials, it is used in doctors’ clinics, military facilities, elite sports programs, and research hospitals around the world.
At Acupuncture Zen, Dr. Tony Willcox integrates NovoTHOR® into a broader holistic framework—combining it with acupuncture, K-Laser therapy, dry needling, and other advanced modalities to deliver results that go far beyond what any single therapy can achieve alone.
