Photobiomodulation (PBM) / Laser Therapy
Advanced technology, local care and real results.
That is the Hands UP Rehab difference.
What is Photobiomodulation (PBM) Therapy?
​​
Photobiomodulation (PBM), also known as Laser Therapy, uses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate your body’s natural healing processes. It works at the cellular level, relieving pain, reducing inflammation, accelerating repair in muscles, tendons and ligaments, and supporting bone and nerve healing.
Unlike heat-based therapies, PBM works deep within the tissue, helping to restore normal cell function without damage or discomfort.
PBM, delivered using a Class IV therapeutic laser system, is a safe and effective modality used in the management of a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions. It offers a drug free, non invasive, and evidence based approach to healing.

Why We Use the K-Laser Speciale Plus
​​
At Hands UP Rehab, we have invested in a leading Class IV therapeutic laser, the K-Laser Speciale Plus. Designed and made in Italy, it delivers up to 80 watts of continuous wave power and a maximum peak output of 100 watts, setting it apart from standard systems and enabling faster, deeper, and more effective results.​​
​
Intelligent, Adaptive Technology
​
The K-Laser Speciale Plus:
​
-
Uses six therapeutic wavelengths for a complete healing effect.
-
Delivers wavelengths simultaneously or in isolation, giving your therapist complete control to tailor your treatment.
-
Employs eight smart sensors, including temperature monitoring, skin tone detection and tissue optimisation, to deliver safe, individualised treatment.
-
Sensors automatically adjust power, depth and modulation in real-time.
-
Uses artificial intelligence to adapt instantly, generating up to 25 billion personalised settings for precise, fast and comfortable sessions.
How It Works
​​
The laser delivers specific wavelengths of light energy into tissue, where it is absorbed by enzymes. This triggers beneficial cellular responses that:
​
-
Relieve pain
-
Reduce inflammation
-
Accelerate repair in muscles, tendons and ligaments
-
Support bone and nerve healing
​
Powered by six therapeutic wavelengths
across blue, red and near-infrared light.
