High-Intensity Laser Therapy (HILT)
At Thurgood Physiotherapy in Port Macquarie, it is delivered by trained physiotherapists as part of an individualised, evidence-based treatment plan for patients seeking modern approaches to recovery.
If you are dealing with persistent pain, inflammation, or an injury that is slow to heal, laser therapy can support your recovery when combined with physiotherapy treatment. At Thurgood Physiotherapy, we use High-Intensity Laser Therapy to help:
- Relieve pain and discomfort. Targeted laser therapy to reduce muscle and joint pain.
- Reduce inflammation. Effective treatment to decrease swelling and promote faster healing.
- Repair damaged tissue. Support recovery for tendon, ligament and musculoskeletal injuries.
- Speed up post-op recovery. Specialist support to assist healing after surgery.
- Restore your mobility. Non-invasive therapy to improve movement and daily function.
Laser therapy is non-invasive and is commonly integrated into a broader physiotherapy program to suit your condition, goals, and stage of recovery.
Our Approach to laser therapy
Laser therapy is never used as a standalone treatment. Your physiotherapist will complete a thorough assessment to determine whether HILT is appropriate for your condition. The therapy is then combined with your overall physiotherapy plan, which may include:
- Manual therapy.
- Exercise-based rehabilitation.
- Hydrotherapy.
- Education to support long-term recovery and independence
Our focus is on safe, evidence-based treatment that delivers practical, measurable outcomes.
