Laser Therapy is a powerful tool used by our physiotherapists at Align Health Centre on the Sunshine Coast to reduce pain, improve mobility, and accelerate tissue repair—especially in chronic conditions like osteoarthritis. Using advanced infrared technology, laser therapy works at a cellular level to stimulate circulation, reduce inflammation, and promote faster healing.
At Align, we often incorporate laser therapy into physiotherapy treatment plans for clients experiencing joint stiffness, hip and knee pain, or post-surgical recovery. It’s especially beneficial for osteoarthritic conditions, helping to relieve discomfort without the need for medication or invasive procedures.
During your appointment, your physiotherapist will assess your condition and determine whether laser therapy is suitable for you. The treatment is quick, painless, and requires no downtime. Combined with targeted rehab exercises and expert care, laser therapy helps you stay active, move freely, and recover with confidence.
At your first appointment, your physiotherapist will take the time to understand your concerns through a detailed health history and physical assessment. From there, we’ll create a personalised treatment plan focused on relieving pain, improving mobility, and supporting long-term recovery. You’ll also receive advice on exercises or stretches to do at home.
While both treat musculoskeletal conditions, physiotherapists focus on movement restoration, injury rehabilitation, and strengthening through exercise and manual therapy. Chiropractors typically emphasise spinal alignment and nervous system function, using adjustments to restore balance. At Align Health Centre, we offer both services to suit your specific needs.
Physiotherapists can assist with a wide range of issues, including:
Sports injuries
Back and neck pain
Joint or muscle stiffness
Post-surgery rehabilitation
Headaches or migraines
Tendonitis and overuse injuries
If you’re unsure whether physio is right for you, our team is happy to assess and guide you.
This depends on your condition and goals. Some patients benefit from just a few sessions, while others with chronic conditions or post-op recovery may need ongoing support. Your physio will recommend a frequency that matches your recovery needs and lifestyle.
The ideal frequency depends on your condition, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. For acute injuries or post-surgical rehab, you may need sessions 1–2 times per week initially. Chronic conditions or ongoing maintenance may require visits every 2–4 weeks. After your initial assessment, your physiotherapist at Align Health Centre will recommend a personalised treatment plan to help you recover effectively and prevent setbacks.
