Asclepius Healing Center red light therapy studio at The Gorilla House Gym Altoona PA
Who We Are

Asclepius
Healing Center

Asclepius Healing Center was founded on a simple idea: the tools that professional athletes use to recover and perform shouldn't be reserved for professional athletes. Red and near-infrared light therapy, for years a staple in elite sports facilities, is now available to everyone in Altoona — right inside The Gorilla House Gym.


Our studio is operated by a team that takes safety seriously. We're not just a wellness trend chasing the next gimmick — we have a medical director, a registered nurse, and a certified safety director on our team. Every session is monitored, every new client is screened, and every treatment is delivered with care.


Whether you're an athlete trying to train harder, someone managing chronic pain, or just looking for more energy and better sleep, you'll find a team here that's genuinely invested in your outcome.

We named ourselves after Asclepius — the Greek god of medicine and healing — because that's the spirit behind everything we do. Science-backed. Professionally administered. Genuinely focused on your well-being.

What We Stand For

Our Values

Safety First

Every client is screened before their first session. Our Medical Director oversees all protocols, and our Lead Technician monitors every session from start to finish. Safety isn't a checkbox — it's how we operate.

Science Backed

Red and near-infrared light therapy isn't magic — it's biology. We don't make promises we can't back up. Every claim we make about what light therapy does is grounded in peer-reviewed research and clinical evidence.

Community Focused

We're part of Altoona. We're inside one of the area's most active fitness communities at The Gorilla House Gym, and we're committed to being a resource for local athletes, working professionals, and everyone in between.
