MLS® Laser Therapy

MLS®  Laser therapy is a cold laser treatment modality that focuses on using light energy to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, and promote wound healing and soft tissue repair. This is a non-invasive, safe, and effective treatment that capitalizes on delivering light energy to damaged cells which increases their activity. As a result of exposure to the MLS®  Laser the cells of tendons, ligaments and muscles can repair themselves up to 30% faster, getting you back to your normal life quickly and safely.

Laser therapy treatments must be administered directly to skin, as laser light cannot penetrate through layers of clothing. Protective eyewear is worn by the patient and the nurse operating the laser.

This is a medical procedure that can only be performed on the basis of a doctor’s referral (must be on paper).  

All appointments need to be pre-booked.
