As easy as 1,2,3

A step into what our custom made orthotic process looks like:

1) you walk on the footscan 🚶

2) we get an accurate reading on your foot and how it distributes force 📊

2) we then produce an orthotic within 10 days ⏱️

The orthotics are useful for alleviating and easing painful areas while you run, walk or play sport.

It is also useful for assessing your feet as a causative factor for hip, knee and ankle pain.

MLS Laser therapy is a completely safe, non-invasive and painless method of managing acute or chronic pain and inflammation ✅️

Is laser therapy safe? 🤷‍♂️

MLS® Laser Therapy is completely safe. Forget those ‘James Bond’ images of laser! MLS® is non-thermal (eg not hot!). Laser therapy is totally painless, non invasive and makes a great alternative to anti-inflammatory drugs.

How many sessions will I need? 🤷‍♂️

Laser therapy usually requires a course of treatments, expect to need 3-6 sessions for the best results. Some people need a few more depending on the cause of their issue and other individual factors.

Will I notice a difference immediately? 🤷‍♂️

Some people notice a difference straight away, others take a bit longer and may need a few sessions before changes are noted. If you don’t notice a difference after 1 or 2 sessions, it doesn’t mean it’s not working for you! Each laser treatment builds upon the last one to boost the effect (known as a cumulative effect). Stick with it to complete the full course your clinician has recommended to benefit from the full effects. If you stop after only 1 or 2 sessions, you may have wasted your time and money by giving up too soon!

How often do I need to come in for treatment? 🤷‍♂️

Because of the cumulative effect of laser, we don’t want to leave it too long between your treatments. We recommend a minimum of once a week! Your clinician will advise the best course of action according to your individual condition. Try not to miss any of your appointments!
