PLEASE NOTE THAT THE MOST RECENT TERMINOLOGY REFERS TO LLLT AS LASER PHOTOTHERAPY LOW LEVEL LASERS / COLD LASERS /SOFT LASERS ARE NOW REFERRED TO AS LASER PHOTOTHERAPY DEVICES
Treatments with LLLT devices/cold lasers/ laser phototherapy devices are safe, effective, painless, free of side effects and entirely non-invasive. LLLT - low level laser therapy - is highly effective in relieving acute and chronic pain and inflammation as well as in acceleration of wound healing, tissue repair and regeneration. Laser phototherapy is well researched with over 2000 reports and over 100 double blind published studies. For more detailed information about the LLLT, we recommend a book from Prima Books, entitled 'Laser Therapy Handbook' by Jan Tuner and Lars Hode. You can also visit www.laser.nu
Physical activities and participation in sports make people healthier and fitter. However, they also increase the risks of activity related injuries. Similarly, professional athletes are also at increased risk of sustaining sports injuries. Sport injuries result from
acute trauma or even repetitive strain associated with physical activities. They
can affect soft tissue, such as
Low level laser therapy is very effective in the treatment of many common types of activity related soft tissue and joints trauma injuries. Low level lasers - cold lasers - are, therefore, routinely used by professional athletes, their therapists and by therapists at sports clubs to relieve pain, reduce inflammation, speed up healing, accelerate tissue regeneration, minimise scar tissue formation and considerably shorten recovery time.
During the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, PalmLaser was used very successfully by doctors and therapists treating acclaimed athletes, such as the medallist runner Frankie Fredericks, the bronze medallist pole vaulter Giuseppe Gibilisco and the famous Decathlon gold medallist Erki Nool.
PalmLaser utilises cellular regeneration processes and healing effects of LLLT (low level laser therapy also known as low level laser light therapy and/or cold laser therapy) to combat pain without taking medications, facilitate and accelerate wound healing, improve blood flow, reduce inflammation and stimulate collagen regeneration.
PalmLaser can be used on its own as a stand alone therapy or in conjunction with other conventional therapies, such as pharmacological treatments or physiotherapy. Here you can read a report on the use and experience with PalmLaser from Dr Thorsten Rarreck of FC Schalke 04, Germany's elite soccer team - CLICK HERE TO VIEW AND READ PALMLASER SPORTS INJURIES EFFECTIVENESS REPORT! Contraindications: PalmLaser should NOT be used in the following situations: In pregnant women over the pregnant uterus. In people suffering with cancer. Over the heart area in people presenting with heart disease. In people fitted with cardiac pacemaker - you should not direct the light beam onto the thoracic area, where the pacemaker is fitted. In people presenting with thyroid dysfunction. In people presenting with undiagnosed skin changes and skin growths. In people suffering with epilepsy.
The red laser is InGaAlP diode: Indium-Gallium-Aluminium-Phosphide laser diode The infrared laser is GaAlAs diode: Gallium-Aluminium-Arsenide laser diode However - it is a matter of a common sense to keep eyes closed during the treatment of the eye area and avoiding looking directly into the laser beam.
PalmLaser is a powerful medical biostimulation cold laser that can treat and/or improve prognosis of conditions known to respond to the Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT). PalmLaser therapy is painless and safe and without side effects. Treatment outcomes can be long lasting. Maintenance therapy is easy, convenient and can be infrequent (i.e. 1 to 3 times per week).
PalmLaser helps to speed up their recovery between games and shortens the treatment time. PalmLaser helps to accelerate healing processes in all types of soft tissue trauma, including the most commonly seen sports injuries like pulled muscles, torn ligaments, contusions, sprains, strains, bruises and lacerations.

LLLT
(laser phototherapy) and laser phototherapy applications in
healing of activity related trauma and sports injuries 
For centuries, light has been recognised for its healing and stimulating
effects. Low level laser therapy - therapy based on a form of concentrated
biostimulating light - has been researched and developed in more recent years.
Biostimulation is simply a process in which the light energises
cells and accelerates tissue repair by activation of metabolic and healing
processes. Low level laser therapy - also referred to as LLLT or cold
laser therapy or most recently as laser phototherapy - is based on a delivery of cold red and/or infra red light over or
into the injured tissues through the skin and underlying tissue layers. Low
level laser light or cold laser light does not have thermal effects and does not heat up the treated tissues - low
level laser light is cold and
penetrates living tissues without causing any trauma, cellular damage, pain or
side effects.
Low level lasers/ cold lasers / laser phototherapy devices are entirely non invasive! Low level
lasers - laser phototherapy devices - cold lasers - soft lasers - operate at much lower energy levels than
invasive surgical lasers capable of cutting through the tissues. Surgical lasers
have high energy outputs ranging between 3000 and 10000 mW, whilst many commonly
used 'clinic and home use' cold medical lasers operate at outputs well below 100 mW.
Application
of laser phototherapy in the management of activity related trauma and
sports injuries 
In recent times, much attention
is given to the effects of physical activities and regular exercise on lifelong
fitness and quality of life. To maintain good health for life, people need to
eat healthy food, lose weight and exercise more! Taking at least 10 000 steps a
day is said to improve our fitness and help to prevent debilitating and life
threatening diseases. More and more people undertake daily activities,
such as walking, cycling, running or jogging and participate regularly in a
variety of games or sports, ranging from gymnastics, fitness training, tennis,
football or water sports to skating, skiing and many other outdoor or indoor
sporting initiatives. 
muscles, ligaments and tendons or they can
involve trauma to the bones. Adults as well as children can suffer sports or
activity related injuries, seriousness of which can range from minor soft tissue traumas,
bruises, sprains and strains to disabling, debilitating and even life threatening
conditions, such as major skeletal fractures or severe brain injuries.
Cold
laser treatments accelerate healing, thus often preventing drop outs from
athletic competitions or loss of valuable
training time. 
PalmLaser incorporates
two
lasers - red and infrared - that provide optimal penetration of tissues
for the best therapeutic effects and healing of superficial injuries and shallow
traumas as well as on deeply located problems (i.e.
superficial open wounds, skin lesions, lacerations, bruises, deep haematomas,
sprains, strains, small fractures and periosteal inflammation). The red laser
light penetrates the
tissues up to 10 mm depth, whilst the infrared laser light reaches as deep as 60
mm, thus reaching deep muscles, ligaments and joints. 
Most common sports
and activity related injuries
that can benefit from accelerated healing with cold laser therapy delivered by
PalmLaser:
PalmLaser
incorporates 2 separate lasers - red (650 nm) and infrared (785 nm)
with the total power output of 100 mW. Special innovative optics used in the
manufacture of the PalmLaser mean that there is no need to use goggles
during treatments with the PalmLaser.
As the PalmLaser is a high
power biostimulation medical laser unit emitting highly concentrated and dense beam of laser light, the
best results are achieved by regular applications repeated only 2 - 3 times
per week. PalmLaser therapy can be applied as a monotherapy or as a
complementary treatment alongside other therapies. The operation and
the application of PalmLaser is very easy. Instructions enclosed with
PalmLaser are easy to follow with clear guidance on the recommended
treatment times. 
PalmLaser is effective and
safe to use with no special safety precautions. Use of goggles is not
required! PalmLaser is suitable for use by
medical professionals and therapists as well as by the
private non-professional users for safe and versatile home therapy.
PalmLaser
is supplied in a smart aluminium carry case, rechargeable battery and power
connector with 3 different power adaptors. PalmLaser is
compatible with power supplies between 100 - 250 V.
