Low level laser therapy is a non-invasive, safe, evidence based and effective therapy tool for various conditions and symptoms including:
– Swellings due to lymphoedema, injuries or surgeries
– Fibrosis – fibrotic tissue and scarring
– Sprained and strained ligaments (ankles, knee…)

There are many benefits of having low level laser therapy, including:
– Significantly shortened recovery time post injury with rapid reduction of swelling and inflammation
– Immediate reduction of pain due to the analgesic effect at the time of treatment

Is Low Level Laser Therapy new?
No. Low level laser therapy was first introduced in Europe in 1960. Since then, low level laser therapy has been extensively researched in clinical trials and used effectively in clinical settings to reduce inflammation and swellings, alleviate pain and promote healing in a range of musculoskeletal pathologies and conditions.
How does it work?
Low level laser radiates infrared light at the site of application leading to tissue repair and healing, improved blood circulation bringing more oxygen to the tissue, improved cellular function and neural responses at the site of application.
