Our approach

How Vellore Physio treats low-level laser therapy

Precise assessment

Detailed 45-minute assessment covers movement, strength, neurology, function and lifestyle — with a plan you can read.

Family-first

Caregivers are trained in every session. You leave able to continue the work at home.

Time-boxed

Progress is reviewed at 2 and 4 weeks. No open-ended packages, no drip-fed sessions.

Evidence-first

Only treatments with real evidence for your condition — no unproven modalities.

Active rehab

Every session includes movement and loading. Passive-only treatment plans aren't offered here.

Outcome-tracked

Objective measures — ROM, strength, walking speed, balance, PROMs — tracked at every review.

Care pathway

Typical recovery timeline

Phase	When	Focus
Screening	Session 1	Confirm indication, screen contraindications, take before-photos or objective measures.
Loading	Sessions 2–4	Start with conservative dosing and build response — combined with hands-on rehab.
Progression	Sessions 4–8	Escalate intensity or complexity based on your response, add task-specific practice.
Discharge	Session 8+	Transition to independent home programme with a review at 4 weeks.

Evidence

What the guidelines say

Low-level laser therapy has a growing evidence base in systematic reviews and meta-analyses when it is used as an adjunct to active rehabilitation. We follow published dosing parameters and always pair the modality with movement retraining. Passive treatment alone is rarely enough for a lasting result.

What helps / what doesn't
