Can light therapy help with Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy?Updated 2 years ago
Yes it can absolutely be used for this. With consistent use, light therapy at the correct wavelength and dosage (like the Move+ provides) can help reduce pain and inflammation, and stimulate the healing process within the area.
Research on Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy specifically is a little limited, however there are a number of medical trials which have shown tremendous benefits of laser therapy for tendinopathy.
Below are a couple of these studies showing the positive outcomes:
Effectiveness of High Power Laser Therapy on Pain and Isokinetic Peak Torque in Athletes with Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy.
"High power laser therapy (HPLT) used for 3 weeks was found to be effective in improving pain in athletes with PHT, when compared with conventional physiotherapy.
Pain and isokinetic peak torque (IPT) of the hamstring muscle were measured before and after the application of the intervention.
Pain score decreased, and IPT increased significantly (p< 0.05) after application of HPLT, by 61.26% and 13.18%, respectively.

"The use of low-level laser therapy, compared to placebo, is effective in treatment of tendinopathy. Despite the need for more studies about this theme, the low-level laser therapy demonstrates consistent results in the treatment of tendinopathy."
