What this is for
Pain that doesn't shift with the usual rest-ice-anti-inflammatory routine often involves underlying inflammation, poor circulation, or restricted tissue. LLLT and Therapeutic Ultrasound target all three. Common reasons people book:
- Sports injuries — sprains, strains, soft-tissue tears
- Tendinopathies — Achilles, tennis elbow, golfer's elbow, plantar fasciitis
- Joint pain — knees, shoulders, hips, wrists, ankles
- Back and neck pain — including muscular tension and old injuries
- Chronic pain — long-standing inflammation that hasn't fully resolved
- Recovery from minor falls or knocks, particularly in older adults
- Postnatal aches — back, hips and wrists from feeding and carrying
How LLLT and Therapeutic Ultrasound help
- LLLT reduces local inflammation and stimulates cellular repair, helping tissue heal faster
- Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves to increase circulation, ease muscle tension, and reduce pain
- Combined, they often achieve in 3–6 sessions what would take much longer to resolve on its own
Both modalities are gentle, painless, and require no needles, drugs or downtime.
What a session looks like
- Brief history — when it started, what aggravates it, what's been tried
- Functional check — range of motion, tender points, movement patterns
- LLLT applied over the affected area (10–15 min)
- Therapeutic ultrasound where appropriate
- Gentle hands-on techniques
- Home advice — what to do, what to avoid, when to expect change

When this isn't the right fit
LLLT and Therapeutic Ultrasound are great for tissue-level pain — inflammation, soft tissue injury, scar restriction. They aren't a replacement for:
- Acute medical issues — chest pain, severe trauma, suspected fractures (go to ED)
- Nerve root pain — usually better managed by physiotherapy or a GP first
- Structural issues requiring imaging or surgical opinion

Common questions
How quickly will I feel a difference?
Many people feel some reduction in pain after the first session, though it varies. For chronic issues, 3–6 sessions is a more realistic expectation for meaningful change.
Can I combine this with physio?
Absolutely. LLLT and physio complement each other well — LLLT addresses inflammation and tissue healing, physio addresses movement patterns and strengthening. Many clients see both.
Do you treat older patients?
Yes — LLLT is particularly gentle and suitable for older adults who can't tolerate manual therapy or who want to avoid anti-inflammatory medications.
Is this covered by private health?
