Laser therapy uses selected wavelengths of light to stimulate key molecules in human tissues. Decades of medical research have identified the wavelengths, energy level and frequencies that induce changes in cellular metabolism (Photobiostimulation), for instance melanin absorbing sunlight changes skins pigmentation.
K-Laser delivers energy from superficial to deep tissues activating a cascade of photochemical reactions that promotes cell function, enabling treated tissues to accelerate the stages of the healing process and reduce pain sensation. This is a safe and non-invasive technique that uses the body’s own reparative processes.
K-Laser therapy penetrates deep into soft tissues, joints and bones, it provides energy to the cells enhancing the natural regenerative processes. By accelerating tissue metabolism and microcirculation, cells assimilate nutrients, dived and get rid of waste and inflammatory products more efficiently. As a result tendons, ligaments and muscles repair faster, with less scarring and reduced pain and inflammation.

Get the GuideOn your first visit to us a full medical case history will be taken. We need to know all aspects of your health.
We will ask about your previous injuries, surgery, illnesses, and we will want to know if you’re taking any medication. After that we will want to see the injury and see you do a few movements.
Unless we need further investigations, such as scans, we would normally treat you on your first appointment.
You will be asked to undress enough for us to see the injury so that we can assess what’s wrong and treat you. Laser treatment is directed to the skin, so it’s not possible to treat through clothes.
Jay says: If you’re not sure which therapy to chose, or whether we’re right for you book a Free 20 minute Consultation first.
Come and tell us about your injury. We’ll do the rest.
Once we’ve made a diagnosis, and we are satisfied that it is safe to treat you, we will give you a pair of sun glasses to wear to protect your eyes and we’ll start treating you.
We will explain what we are doing throughout your treatment to ensure you are happy with what we are doing. Decisions about treatment, here as in any other medical practice, are entirely yours. We will never use any technique or procedure on you without your consent; so you can ask questions at any time.
Laser treatment doesn’t hurt. You might feel a warm sensation where the laser is treating you.
This is not a hair removal laser! KLaser for pain and musculoskeletal problems is not painful.
Jo says: “We have see great results using laser treatments on athletes – we can get you back to sport quickly.”
For laser treatments we have to be able to see the injured area. Depending on where the injury is, if you want to wear a T-shirt and shorts, that’s fine.
And you can always bring pair of shorts and T-shirt with you to change into.
Georgina says: “If you’re still not sure what to wear it’s fine to call and ask.”
Most of our practitioners are registered with private insurance companies, but it does depend on the therapy and practitioner.
If you’re not sure whether you can claim on your insurance please call the insurance company in advance and find out. You also need to check whether you need a GP referral before coming to us. Most insurance companies don’t require a GP referral, but some do.
Once you’ve got the Ok from your insurance company we ask that you pay us after each appointment and then claim the money back from your insurance company yourself.
Important: due to AXA and Bupa being rather dictatorial about osteopathy and physiotherapy fees, none of our osteopaths, physios or sports therapists are registered with them.
If you would like us to recommend an alternative insurance company please do talk to us when you come in for treatment.
Of course you can! We are very happy for you to have somebody in the treatment room with you. We are quite used to families coming together or parents bringing kids with them.
Couples, or friends, who train together can help each other with rehab, so sometimes it’s useful to have another person with you.
Incidentally, if we are treating children under the age of 16 we insist that a parent or guardian accompany them. We also ask that if you’re bringing any children under the age of 16 that they join you in the treatment room and are not left to sit in the waiting room unaccompanied by an adult.
The length of your first appointment will depend on which practitioner you see. Ask us for more information so you know what to expect.
No, you don’t need a referral unless you have private healthcare and your provider requires you to have a referral.
So you can call us any time, or book online, without having to wait for a GP appointment. Although referral by a GP is not necessary, you are encouraged to keep your GP fully informed so that medical records are up-to-date.
If you have private medical insurance you need to check your cover as some companies specify that you have to have a GP referral.
The number of appointments you need depends on the injury. Your KLaser practitioner will advise you at the time. We offer packages for laser treatments, so do ask about those if you need a few sessions and want to save money.
Our aim is always to make the pain go away and stay away.
Please do give us good feedback about how you’re responding to treatment.
Tina says: “The injuries we treat with laser really vary, from high end athletes to arthritic pains. Each one has different requirements for treatment.”
