Deep Tissue Laser Therapy
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy in Saskatoon
Deep Tissue Laser Therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses advanced laser technology to stimulate the body’s natural healing processes. Using a LiteCure Medical laser, the therapy works by flooding targeted tissues with photons (light energy), which energizes cells, increases circulation, reduces inflammation, and promotes pain relief in both acute and chronic conditions.
This process, known as photo-bio-stimulation, accelerates cellular repair and enhances mobility without the use of drugs or surgery. FDA-cleared and clinically proven, Deep Tissue Laser Therapy is an effective option for those seeking relief from pain and dysfunction while supporting long-term recovery.
Treatments are provided by a certified laser technician and can be used as a stand-alone therapy or in conjunction with other treatments.
What to Expect During Your Session
Clothing: The laser must be applied directly to the skin. Gowning or draping (similar to massage therapy) may be required for certain treatment areas.
Technique:
Contact method: The laser hand-piece is moved directly over the skin, often with gentle tissue manipulation (laser massage) to increase depth of penetration.
Non-contact method: The hand-piece hovers slightly above the skin, typically used for sensitive areas.
Sensation: Most clients feel a soothing warmth during treatment. Occasionally, mild temporary heating may be felt over bony areas.
After Treatment: Some clients may experience a brief increase in symptoms before improvement, which is a normal part of the healing process.
