Home / Advanced Therapies / Class IV Laser Therapy
Class IV laser therapy (photobiomodulation) is an equipment-based modality used to support rehabilitation for certain musculoskeletal conditions. [VERIFY: confirm this equipment is currently available at the clinic before publishing availability.]
Class IV laser therapy delivers light energy to tissues and is used as one component of a treatment plan for selected conditions.
It may be considered alongside exercise and manual therapy for certain soft-tissue or joint presentations, where a clinician judges it appropriate.
These are reasons to seek a professional assessment — not a promise that a specific treatment will suit everyone.
A handpiece is applied over the treatment area for a short period during a session. It is combined with the rest of your plan. Protective eyewear is used as required by the device instructions.
Assessment and suitability check.
Explanation of the modality.
A short, guided laser session.
Integration with exercise and review.
Follow the device’s instructions for use. Laser therapy is generally avoided over certain areas (for example, over malignancy, the thyroid, or in pregnancy over the abdomen) and may not suit everyone. Suitability is confirmed at assessment.
It is usually painless; you may feel gentle warmth. Tell your clinician if you feel any discomfort.
Book an assessment and we’ll talk through your symptoms, goals and suitable options.
