We are proud to offer Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), a non-invasive treatment that uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate cellular repair, reduce inflammation, and relieve pain.

This therapeutic approach accelerates healing in both acute and chronic conditions by improving circulation, enhancing tissue regeneration, and supporting the body’s natural recovery process. LLLT is effective for soft tissue injuries, joint pain, inflammation, and postural strain, and can be used as a stand-alone treatment or combined with massage therapy to maximize results.

Assessment is required before beginning laser treatment to ensure each session is tailored for the best possible results. Treatment times may vary depending on the size of the area being treated and the extent of tissue damage. After your assessment, our trained therapist will determine the ideal duration and laser settings to most effectively support your healing and recovery goals.

⚠️ Please note: Laser therapy as a stand-alone service is not covered by insurance. To claim under your massage benefits, book the "BioFlex Laser Therapy + Massage" listed under Clinical Modalities.
