High Power Laser Therapy

High power laser therapy uses targeted light energy to penetrate deep into injured tissues. This stimulates cellular activity, increases blood flow, and encourages the body’s natural healing processes.

Unlike treatments that simply mask symptoms, laser therapy works at a biological level to reduce inflammation, ease pain, and accelerate tissue repair. It is suitable for both acute injuries and long-standing conditions that have not responded to other forms of treatment.

Laser therapy is rarely used in isolation. It is most effective when combined with a structured rehabilitation plan, allowing pain to settle while strength and movement are restored.

For many patients, this means combining treatment with a tailored exercise prescription programme, ensuring that improvements are not only achieved but maintained over time.

In some cases, laser therapy may also be used alongside other treatments such as shockwave therapy, orthotic support, or taping, depending on the nature of your condition.

High power laser therapy is used to manage a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions affecting the lower limb and beyond.

We frequently see patients with issues such as heel pain, Achilles tendinopathy, and ankle pain, as well as muscle strains, joint pain, and post-injury inflammation.

It can also be effective for conditions involving nerve irritation, chronic inflammation, or delayed healing, helping to reduce symptoms and improve function over time.

Your session will usually last between 15 and 20 minutes and takes place in a clinical setting. After identifying the treatment area, your clinician will apply the laser device directly to the skin.

You may feel a gentle warming sensation, but the treatment itself is not painful. Most patients are able to continue with their normal daily activities immediately afterwards.

The number of sessions required depends on the severity and duration of your condition. Some patients notice improvement quickly, while others benefit from a short course of treatment to achieve the best results.

At Active Step, laser therapy is delivered as part of a clinically reasoned treatment plan rather than a standalone solution. This ensures that your care is tailored to the underlying cause of your symptoms, not just the symptoms themselves.

Our clinicians follow NICE-aligned guidance and are HCPC registered, providing reassurance that your treatment is both safe and evidence-based. We combine modern technology with hands-on expertise to give you the best possible outcome.

Patients often choose laser therapy when they want an effective, drug-free approach to managing pain and improving recovery.

Laser therapy is typically delivered within follow-up sessions as part of your treatment plan, priced at £105 for 30 minutes.

For patients looking for a focused course of treatment, we also offer a block of three standalone laser therapy sessions for £255.

Private health insurance providers including BUPA, WPA, Cigna and Aviva are accepted. Our team can advise on coverage before you begin treatment.

If you are experiencing ongoing pain, inflammation, or slow recovery from injury, laser therapy may be a suitable option. It is particularly helpful where symptoms are limiting your ability to exercise, work, or carry out daily activities comfortably.

Early intervention can help prevent conditions from becoming chronic and reduce the overall time needed for recovery.

If you are looking for advanced, non-invasive treatment for pain or injury, our team is here to help. We provide high power laser therapy in Fareham as part of a structured, personalised approach to recovery.
