A growing number of massage therapists are
incorporating laser therapy into their practice because it provides the
practitioner with a safe, effective and hands-free option to alleviate pain,
accelerate healing and reduce inflammation.  This interactive conference
will give massage therapists the opportunity to learn how to use laser therapy
to grow their current practice volume and to learn about new developments in
application to ensure optimal clinical outcomes.

Laser therapy is highly effective in the treatment of many
musculoskeletal conditions, arthritis, soft tissue injuries and wound
healing.  The technology uses
super-luminous and laser diodes to irradiate injured tissue with light in the
form of photons.  These particles
of energy are absorbed by a variety of molecules within the cell, facilitating
the conversion of light into biochemical energy.  Consequently, multiple physiological responses are
initiated, resulting in the restoration of normal cell morphology and
function. 

An increasing number of healthcare practitioners are utilizing
laser therapy to accelerate healing, reduce inflammation and eliminate pain.
Unlike other treatments that simply modulate symptoms, laser therapy enables
healthcare providers to treat the underlying source of pain without adverse
effects.
