Hi neighbours, I have worked in the Laser Therapy industry for over 16 years, and travel overseas every year for training. My interest in this type of therapy was peaked when my husband responded to laser treatment for his different ailments.

The treatment has no side effects, does not involve any type of drugs and is non -invasive. I find the results my patients obtain following treatment very rewarding particularly being able to heal and help people that have been suffering for many months and years also helping them with rehab.

Laser Therapy was developed to treat all forms of sports injuries and musculoskeletal conditions, to release and control pain and provide improved wound healing. It is a researched and tested science that provides a non-invasive and drug-free treatment and offers a safe therapeutic medical modality that is free from side effects. When it is applied to a painful joint, it helps heal the injured tissues, reduces the inflammatory response, and gives long lasting pain relief.

I loved talking to Courtney Mason about how she and her husband ben bought their first home. It really offers a lot of hope for folks who might be looking at the property market and wondering what on earth is happening out there these days.
