Many high-performance athletes need a solution that can support recovery and prevent injuries without interrupting training schedules. That’s where MLS Laser Therapy can help promote sports recovery by reducing inflammation and muscle damage.
MLS Laser Therapy for Athletes
Boost Performance and Speed Recovery
Athletes know the importance of consistent training, but they also understand the risks of overtraining. Intense physical activity can lead to microtraumas in muscles, tendons, and joints, resulting in inflammation, pain and, if untreated, long-term injuries. Recovery methods such as rest, stretching, and traditional methods often fall short in keeping pace with the demands of high-performance athletes.
What Is MLS Laser Therapy?
MLS (Multiwave Locked System) Laser Therapy is an advanced form of photobiomodulation therapy. It uses synchronised wavelengths of light to penetrate tissues, reducing inflammation, alleviating pain, and accelerating tissue repair. Unlike traditional treatments, MLS Laser Therapy is non-invasive, painless, and has no side effects, making it an ideal choice for athletes seeking effective recovery solutions.
The Science Behind MLS Laser Therapy
Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of MLS Laser Therapy in various aspects of sports recovery and prehabilitation:
Reducing Oxidative Stress
Oxidative stress from intense training damages cells and slows recovery. A study published in PLoS ONE (2016) showed that Laser Therapy decreases oxidative damage by reducing lipid peroxidation and enhancing antioxidant enzyme activity.
Decreasing Muscle-Damaging Mediators
Intense exercise increases levels of creatine kinase (CK) and blood lactate, which contribute to muscle soreness and fatigue. Laser Therapy has been proven to significantly reduce these mediators, as noted in a study from the Journal of Sport Rehabilitation (2020).
Enhancing Muscular Performance
By improving blood flow and cellular repair, Laser Therapy enhances muscular endurance and reduces post-exercise soreness. This effect was highlighted in a meta-analysis published in SAGE Open Medicine (2021).
Pain Relief and Functional Improvement
A systematic review in BMJ Open (2022) confirmed Laser Therapy’s effectiveness in reducing pain and improving function for musculoskeletal conditions, making it an essential tool for injury prevention.
