Class 4 Laser Therapy
Living with pain, stiffness or inflammation can make everyday movement difficult. Class 4 Deep Tissue Laser Therapy is a non-invasive treatment designed to help relieve minor muscle and joint pain, reduce muscle spasms, promote muscle relaxation and temporarily increase local blood circulation.
Whether you are managing a recent injury, ongoing discomfort or looking to improve post-activity recovery, laser therapy may help you move more comfortably and return to the activities you enjoy.

WHAT IS DEEP TISSUE LASER THERAPY?
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy uses focused infrared light to deliver energy into the targeted tissue. This process, known as photobiomodulation, may stimulate biological activity within the cells, increase cellular metabolism and support the body’s natural recovery process.
The treatment also produces a soothing warmth in the targeted area and temporarily increases localized blood flow. This may help reduce pain and inflammation while supporting the recovery of painful muscles, joints and soft tissues.
