Research Recap: High Power Laser Therapy for Proximal Hamstring Tendinopathy

Hamstring tendinopathy can be a game-stopper for athletes. Recent research reveals the role of high power laser therapy (HPLT) in relieving pain associated with proximal hamstring tendinopathy (PHT) symptoms.

The study demonstrated that HPLT, also known as Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT), is more effective than a conventional therapy program at reducing pain from PHT. HPLT/PBMT reduced the average pain score to a mild level, and this decrease in pain may also have resulted in functional improvements for the athlete.
