Laser Therapy

Soft Tissue Laser Therapy

Painless and completely non-invasive, Laser Therapy directly targets areas of inflammation and injury to stimulate tissue repair and healing.

Laser therapy uses an infra-red laser to assist the body’s natural healing processes in injured or inflamed muscles, tendons, ligaments, joints, and soft tissues. It works by increasing local blood circulation, promoting anti-inflammatory effects, relieving pain, and supporting faster tissue repair and regeneration.

How Does It Work?

Our laser uses a specific wavelength of infra-red light that is invisible to the naked eye. The laser energy is delivered through a handheld applicator directly to the affected area.

Your Physiotherapist will assess your condition and determine the appropriate treatment area and dosage. Treatment time varies depending on the size and severity of the injury and the number of areas being treated.
