Shockwave Therapy
Flex has been working hard to finally bring MLS Laser Therapy to our clients. This advanced technology uses specific wavelengths of light energy to target the source of pain at the cellular level. It facilitates healing to reduce pain, inflammation, oedema and produces an analgesic effect- all in a non-invasive manner.
What to expect from MLS Laser treatment
The MLS Laser combines two wavelengths that allow it to spread deeply into the tissues of the body to induce pain relief and anti-inflammatory action.
Most sessions will take 10-15 minutes from start to finish, depending on the area affected and the reason for treatment. Our physiotherapist will set you up in the most efficient and comfortable position before programming the robotic head to complete its treatment.
As treatment is happening at a cellular level, there should be no sensation on the skin although some clients have reported a warming sensation.
How many sessions are needed?
Our physiotherapists will utilise laser therapy as a rehabilitation tool within their individualised treatment plan to give you the best results. The typical course of treatment takes between 6 to 12 sessions but it could be less or more depending on your concern. It is imperative that you finish the course prescribed to you as improvements will be noticeable after every session.
