Low Level Laser therapy (LLLT) is the treatment of various conditions using a laser to bring about a photochemical reaction at a cellular level. The laser light penetrates into tissue where it is absorbed by cells and converted into energy that influences the course of metabolic processes. It can successfully promote and accelerate healing of a wide range of acute and chronic lower limb conditions and is safe, painless and non-invasive. It provides drug free pain relief and healing with no side effects. Treatments take only a few minutes and can be applied two or three times a week.

It is suitable for the treatment of such issues as sprains and strains, achilles tendinopathy, planter fasciitis pain, ankle ligament sprains, arthritic pain, post operative pain and tissue healing.
