What is laser therapy?
*BioFlex Laser Therapy is a non-invasive, pain free, light based treatment that uses red and infrared light. The laser and light is placed against the skin and delivers particles of light energy to the cells of skin, muscles and bones. The energized cells then speed the healing process of inflamed, injured and diseased tissues.

*BioFlex Laser Therapy is a non-invasive, pain free, light based treatment that uses red and infrared light. The laser and light is placed against the skin and delivers particles of light energy to the cells of skin, muscles and bones. The energized cells then speed the healing process of inflamed, injured and diseased tissues.
*The process is curative and results in the elimination of symptoms including acute and chronic pain. It also enhances the body's immune response and facilitates natural healing for the body to heal itself.
*Direct Effects include:
-Reduced Pain
-Increased Circulation
-Reduced Swelling and Stiffness
-Reduced Inflammation
-Increased Range of Motion
-Increased Collagen Production
-Reduced Scarring
-Increased Muscle Regeneration
-Reduces Muscle Mass Loss
-Increases Nerve Regeneration
-Increases Cartilage Production
-Increases Bone Formation
-Reduced Recurrence of Injury
-Reduced Recovery Time
*Indirect Effects to Circulating immune and/or bone marrow stem cells and they circulate to areas of the body that are inflamed, injured or healing
*The LLLT (Low Level Light Therapy) system we have selected to use is the BioFlex Laser Therapy System. BioFlex is approved by both Health Canada and the FDA and uses a
Class 3B laser, which is non-thermal with zero risk of tissue damage.
*BioFlex LLLT has no adverse reactions, according to the FDA.
*The BioFlex wavelengths and protocols vary and are carefully customized to deliver the right frequency of continuous or pulsed light to the body's tissues that need it most.
*Often provides a treatment alternative for those who have not responded to conventional therapies.
*Other terms for the BioFlex system's Class 3B laser therapy are cold laser therapy, photobiomodulation, photobiostimulation, and LLLT (Low Level Light Therapy).
Treatment Details
*Effects of photobiomodulation are cumulative and can be clinically evident immediately or over a period of days. Most notice a positive response in the first 3-4 treatments.
*Treatments are typically 30 minutes to one hour depending on the condition being treated.

*Effects of photobiomodulation are cumulative and can be clinically evident immediately or over a period of days. Most notice a positive response in the first 3-4 treatments.
*Treatments are typically 30 minutes to one hour depending on the condition being treated.
*Most people do not experience any sensations during the treatment. Some people feel gentle tingling or soothing warmth from the machinery (not laser).
*The number of treatments depends upon the chronicity and extent of the problem (pathology involved). Each person responds to the therapy differently. A recent study showed the average number of treatments is 9.4 when following the recommended sequence of appointments.
*Each treatment is customized based on the individual, the condition being treated and the healing progress.
What does LLLT treat?
What does LLLT treat?
*Laser Therapy is highly effective in the treatment of muscle/bone conditions, arthritis, sports injuries, peripheral nerve injury, wound healing and a wide range of dermatological conditions.
*Accelerated healing and decreased symptoms allows for initiation of manual/exercise therapies much sooner, improving results
*Pre and Post Workout

*Laser Therapy is highly effective in the treatment of muscle/bone conditions, arthritis, sports injuries, peripheral nerve injury, wound healing and a wide range of dermatological conditions.
*Accelerated healing and decreased symptoms allows for initiation of manual/exercise therapies much sooner, improving results
*Pre and Post Workout
-Increases Muscle Mass and Reduces Muscle Stress
-Helps repair micro lesions that can occur after exercise
-With injury, maximizes regeneration and minimizes fibrosis. Fibrosis can lead to re-injury
-Prevents reoccurring muscle strains that can lead to muscle injuries
