Joint by joint

  • Knees — the most common use. Wrap round the joint, panel over the sorest side.
  • Hips — panel on the outer hip while lying on your side.
  • Shoulders — over the top and front.
  • Lower back — around the waist.
  • Elbows and ankles — wrap snugly, bare skin.

Why two wraps is popular

Aches rarely come alone — a knee and a back, or both knees. Two wraps let you do both in one twenty-minute sitting, which is why the 2-pack is our most chosen option. See prices.

What it cannot do

It will not rebuild cartilage or replace a joint replacement, physiotherapy or medication. It is a wellbeing device for daily comfort.

Common questions

Is red light therapy good for joint pain?+

It is widely used for aching, stiff joints, especially knees, hips and shoulders. It works gradually over weeks of daily use and alongside, not instead of, your GP's advice.

Does red light therapy help arthritis?+

We do not claim LumaWrap treats arthritis or any medical condition. Some people with a diagnosis use it for everyday comfort — check with your GP first.

Which joints can I use LumaWrap on?+

Knees, hips, lower back, shoulders, elbows and ankles — anywhere the wrap can sit flat on bare skin. Not over the eyes, throat or abdomen during pregnancy.
