The WeRelieve Recovery Belt uses red and near-infrared light to support areas of the body that may feel tight, sore, overworked, or slow to recover. It's flexible, so it can be wrapped around the lower back, hips, shoulders, knees, calves, and more.

This guide covers what's included, how to power the belt, the control panel and timer settings, where to place it, eight practical routines, a suggested weekly plan, and important safety guidelines.

The belt includes 120 LEDs and uses red and near-infrared light:

These wavelengths are commonly used to support tissue recovery, circulation, and comfort.

Before using the belt, take a moment to locate the belt connection port, the remote control, the timer button, the brightness settings, the light mode button, and the power button. A little familiarity upfront makes each session easier.

Note: An external battery is not included with the belt.

The belt includes three light mode options:

For general recovery, many people choose both lights together.

This is the best option for regular at-home use.

This option is helpful when using a compatible USB power source.

Important: Use only a compatible 5V USB charging adapter. Do not use a 12V USB charging adapter.

The belt may be used with a compatible 5V external battery or power bank.

An external battery is not included.

The remote control has buttons for mode setting (660nm / 850nm / ALL), brightness setting (L0, L1, L2, L3, L4), timer setting (5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30 minutes), and a switch for Open / 10Hz Flicker / OFF.

The best setting is the one that feels comfortable and easy to use consistently.

The timer can be set for 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, or 30 minutes.

The belt is designed to be flexible, so it can be used on different areas of the body depending on where support is needed.

Common areas include: lower back, hips, upper back, shoulders, knees, arms, legs, calves, and feet.

For best use:

Important: The belt is not designed for use around the head or neck. Avoid placing the lights near the eyes.

For the first few uses, begin with a short, comfortable session.

After each session, notice warmth, relaxation, easier movement, or a calmer feeling.

Helpful things to notice:

After the first few uses, time and brightness can be gradually increased if it feels comfortable.

Small, steady use is often the easiest way to build a recovery habit.

For morning stiffness, low energy, or starting the day gently. Use this when the body needs a little warmth and support before stepping into the day.

Place the belt on: lower back, hips, upper back, or legs
​ Time: 10 to 20 minutes | Intensity: L2 to L3

Afterward, try: shoulder rolls, hip circles, a short walk, or a WeShape movement session.

What to notice: Does the body feel warmer, looser, or more ready for the day?

For one specific area that needs extra care. Use this when one area feels sore, stiff, overworked, or in need of focused support.

Place the belt on: knee, shoulder, elbow, hip, or low back
​ Time: 10 to 15 minutes | Intensity: L2 to L4 (start lower and increase only if it feels comfortable)

Afterward, try: knee bends, shoulder circles, hip shifts, easy walking, or slow range-of-motion movement.

What to notice: Does the area feel more supported or easier to move?

For after a WeShape session, walk, workout, or active day. Use this after movement to help the body settle, recover, and feel cared for.

Place the belt where the body worked hardest: quads, calves, glutes, low back, shoulders, or feet
​ Time: 10 to 20 minutes | Intensity: L2 to L3
​ Best timing: Within 30 to 60 minutes after movement, when possible.

Afterward, try: gentle stretching, a slow walk, easy breathing, or rest with feet elevated.

What to notice: Does the body feel less worked-over and more recovered?

For relaxing before bed and supporting sleep. Use this when the day has been full and the body is ready to settle.

Place the belt on: upper back, lower back, hips, or feet
​ Time: 10 to 15 minutes | Intensity: L1 to L2

Pair it with: slow breathing, dim lights, gentle stretching, quiet music, or a calm evening routine.

What to notice: Does the body feel calmer, heavier, or more ready for sleep?

For upper back, shoulder, chest, and trap tension. Use this when the upper body feels tight from sitting, stress, posture, or daily life.

Place the belt on: upper back, across the shoulder area, or the chest area if comfortable and appropriate
​ Time: 10 to 15 minutes | Intensity: L1 to L3

Afterward, try: shoulder rolls, gentle chest opening, slow upper-back rotation, or easy breathing.

What to notice: Does the chest feel more open? Do the shoulders feel less guarded?

For lower back, hips, and glutes. Use this when the lower back or hips feel tight, tired, or restricted.

Place the belt on: lower back, hips, glutes, or side of hip
​ Time: 10 to 20 minutes | Intensity: L2 to L3

Afterward, try: gentle hip circles, slow walking, a seated figure-four stretch, gentle pelvic tilts, or easy WeShape mobility movements.

What to notice: Does walking, standing, or bending feel a little easier?

For knees that need focused support. Use this when the knee area feels stiff, irritated, or unsure.

Place the belt: comfortably around the knee area. Keep it secure, but not tight.
​ Time: 10 to 15 minutes | Intensity: L2 to L4 (start at L2 and adjust gradually)

Afterward, try: gentle knee bends, easy walking, quad activation, calf raises, or slow sit-to-stand practice.

What to notice: Does the knee feel warmer, steadier, or more confident with movement?

For tired feet, calves, and ankles. Use this after long days, lots of standing, walking, or when the legs feel heavy.

Place the belt on: calves, feet, or ankles
​ Time: 10 to 15 minutes | Intensity: L1 to L3

Afterward, try: ankle circles, toe spreading, gentle calf stretching, or a short walk around the room.

What to notice: Do the feet feel more grounded? Do the legs feel lighter?

The Recovery Belt can be used alongside other recovery tools. A helpful order:

Example: massage roller on the upper back → Recovery Belt on the upper back → gentle shoulder rolls → slow breathing. This creates a simple rhythm: release, support, move, notice.

A good starting point:

As the body adjusts, use may increase depending on comfort and need.

For longer sessions: use up to 30 minutes at a time, and wait at least 2 hours between 30-minute sessions.

Daily use may be helpful for building consistency. Comfort, ease, and regular use are the main priorities.

Please read before use. Use the belt safely and carefully.

The device is not waterproof. Keep the belt, remote control, and power cables away from liquids.

Use a soft, dry cloth to wipe the outside of the belt.

Do not use: abrasive cleaners, liquids, alcohol sprays, water immersion, or steam/sterilization methods. Do not submerge the belt in water.

Store in a cool, dry place. Keep away from direct sunlight, extreme heat, moisture, and children and pets. Disconnect the remote control cable and power adapter before storing.
