Laser therapy at Hive Health
A focused treatment. A plan built around you.
Explore non-invasive laser therapy as part of your care for pain, injury and recovery.
What is laser therapy?
Laser therapy uses targeted light energy applied to an area of the body. At Hive Health, we use Class 4 laser therapy as an option within a personalised treatment plan.
It is a non-invasive treatment, meaning it does not involve surgery or injections. Your therapist will assess your symptoms and explain whether it is appropriate for you.
Could it fit your care?
People ask us about laser therapy for a range of concerns. We can assess these and discuss the most suitable options:
Back, neck and joint pain
Including symptoms associated with osteoarthritis or injury.Muscle and ligament injuries
Strains, sprains and sports-related concerns.Tendon problems
Including tendonitis and concerns such as tennis elbow.Foot and running-related pain
Including plantar fasciitis, runner’s knee and shin splints.Wrist or nerve-related symptoms
Including carpal tunnel symptoms, which need individual assessment.Ongoing discomfort or swelling
We’ll discuss the cause, your health history and whether further assessment is needed.
Suitability and results vary. We’ll explain the available evidence and treatment options for your particular condition, rather than promise a fixed outcome.
What happens in a session?
1. Start with an assessment
We discuss your symptoms, health history and goals, and check whether laser therapy is suitable.
2. Target the treatment area
Your therapist applies laser light to the selected area using settings appropriate to your treatment. We’ll explain the procedure and safety precautions before starting.
3. Bring your care together
Where needed and suitable, laser can be included within a massage and rehabilitation session, alongside hands-on care, movement advice or exercises.
Your questions, answered
How does it work?
The use of light to influence biological activity is known as photobiomodulation. Research explores its effects on pain and tissue recovery, but the evidence and likely benefit depend on the condition and treatment used.
How many sessions will I need?
There is no fixed number for everyone. Your symptoms, how long you’ve had them and your response to treatment help guide the plan. We’ll review progress with you and adjust the approach where needed.
Can I have it with massage?
Yes — when appropriate, laser therapy can form part of your massage and rehabilitation session. Speak to Craig or Poppy about whether it could suit your needs.
Is it suitable for everyone?
No. Your therapist will check your health history and discuss precautions, alternatives and any questions before you decide on treatment.
