What is THOR Low level Laser Therapy/Photobiomodulation?

Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) improves tissue repair, reduces pain and inflammation wherever the beam is applied. Treatments take only a few minutes and can be applied two or more times a week.
Significant reduction of inflammation equal to or better then NSAIDs within 2 hours, analgesic effects that last for 48 hours, healing time of chronic tendinopathies reduced by 70%.

How it works?

When cells are stressed, nitric oxide inhibits oxygen consumption by mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase. This reduces production of ATP and causes oxidative stress leading to increased inflammation and reduced production of ATP. LLLT displaces NO from cytochrome c oxidase therby reducing inflammation and restoring ATP production, helping tissues heal more quickly.

A few examples of clinical applications

  • Acute or chronic tendinopathies
  • Sprains and strains
  • Fractures
  • Neck and back pain
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Post-operative pain
  • Tissue healing

Thor Low Level Therapy is used in 70 Countries worldwide, including Harvard medical School, NASA researchers, US Navy, RAF, British Army, Royal Navy, NHS, BUPA, Premier division Football Teams, British Lions Rugby, British Olympic Team.
