If you’ve been dealing with stubborn pain, slow healing, or inflammation that just won’t quit, you might’ve come across bioflex laser therapy as a treatment option. At Body Dynamics Physiotherapy Clinic in Toronto, we use this advanced technology to support faster healing, reduce pain, and help our patients get back to their daily lives with less discomfort and more mobility.
But many people still ask: What exactly can Bioflex treat? Let’s break it down.

What Is Bioflex Laser Therapy?
Bioflex is a form of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) or photobiomodulation. It uses specific wavelengths of red and infrared light to penetrate the skin and stimulate healing at the cellular level. The process increases circulation, reduces inflammation, and boosts the production of ATP (your cells’ energy source), which helps accelerate tissue repair.
It’s completely non-invasive, painless, and doesn’t involve medication. That makes it a great option for patients looking for a natural way to heal—without the side effects that sometimes come with drugs or surgery.
Who Can Benefit from Bioflex?
Patients of all ages can benefit from bioflex laser therapy. Whether you’re an athlete recovering from a sports injury, someone living with chronic joint pain, or just trying to bounce back from surgery faster, bioflex may help improve your symptoms and speed up healing.
Because it targets inflammation and cellular repair, it’s useful for a wide range of conditions, including both acute injuries and long-standing issues.

Conditions Bioflex Can Help Treat
Here’s a closer look at the conditions we most commonly treat using bioflex at Body Dynamics:
1. Arthritis (Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis)
Bioflex can significantly reduce joint pain, stiffness, and swelling caused by arthritis. It works by calming inflammation and promoting cartilage health. Patients often notice better mobility and reduced need for pain medication after a few sessions.
2. Back Pain and Sciatica
For patients dealing with chronic lower back pain or sciatica, bioflex helps by easing nerve irritation and reducing muscle tension. It’s often used alongside physiotherapy and manual therapy to enhance results.
3. Neck Pain and Whiplash
Postural strain, acute neck injuries, or whiplash from accidents can all cause pain and tightness. Bioflex helps by increasing blood flow to the affected area and decreasing inflammation, supporting faster recovery.
4. Tendonitis and Tendinopathies (e.g., Rotator Cuff, Achilles, Elbow)
Tendon injuries can linger for months if not treated properly. Laser therapy helps repair damaged tendons by stimulating collagen production and reducing chronic inflammation—two key components of long-term healing.
5. Sprains and Strains
Whether it’s a rolled ankle or a pulled muscle, soft tissue injuries benefit from bioflex’s ability to reduce swelling, relieve pain, and improve tissue regeneration early in the healing process.
6. Post-Surgical Recovery
After surgery, patients often deal with stiffness, scar tissue, or lingering pain. Bioflex is a powerful tool to reduce inflammation and promote healing without disrupting the surgical site. It helps get patients moving again sooner.
7. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Bioflex can ease nerve pressure and inflammation in the wrist, improving hand function and reducing tingling or numbness—often delaying or avoiding the need for surgery altogether.
8. Plantar Fasciitis
Chronic heel pain is another common condition we treat. The laser helps reduce tightness and inflammation in the plantar fascia, relieving pain and improving mobility.
9. TMJ Dysfunction (Jaw Pain)
For patients with jaw pain or temporomandibular joint dysfunction, Bioflex can help reduce muscle tension and inflammation in the joint, making talking and eating more comfortable.
10. Headaches and Migraines (Tension-Related)
If your headaches are muscle-tension related or stem from neck issues, Bioflex can reduce the underlying muscle strain and improve circulation, often decreasing both the intensity and frequency of headaches.
11. Bursitis and Joint Inflammation
Hip bursitis, shoulder bursitis, or other forms of joint inflammation respond well to laser therapy, especially when other treatments haven’t worked. It calms the inflammation around the bursa, making movement easier.
12. Chronic Pain and Fibromyalgia
Bioflex is often used as part of a chronic pain management plan, especially for patients dealing with fibromyalgia or generalized musculoskeletal pain. It provides relief without the systemic effects of medications.
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
It depends on the condition, severity, and how your body responds. Acute injuries may improve in 3–6 sessions, while chronic issues often require 8–12 sessions or more for noticeable results.
At Body Dynamics, we’ll assess your needs during the first visit and create a personalized treatment plan that includes Bioflex when appropriate.

Is It Safe?
Yes. Bioflex is Health Canada approved and has a strong safety profile. It’s non-invasive, drug-free, and suitable for most people—including seniors, athletes, and those recovering from surgery.
There are no known long-term side effects. Some people feel slight warmth during the treatment, and occasionally a mild temporary increase in discomfort as inflammation clears—but overall, it’s a very gentle therapy.
How Does Bioflex Fit Into a Full Treatment Plan?
At Body Dynamics, we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. That’s why bioflex is often combined with other treatments to get the best possible results.
Your plan might include:
- Manual therapy to reduce muscle tension and improve joint movement
- Tailored exercise programs to rebuild strength and prevent re-injury
- Massage therapy for circulation and relaxation
- Chiropractic care for alignment and mobility
- Shockwave therapy if deeper stimulation is needed
- Orthotics to improve body mechanics and reduce strain
By combining Bioflex with these treatments, we support your body’s healing from all angles.
What to Expect During a Bioflex Session
Here’s what a typical session looks like:
- Consultation or check-in
We review your symptoms and make sure laser therapy is appropriate that day. - Application of the laser pads
The therapist places the laser heads on the treatment area. You’ll feel a warm sensation, but there’s no pain. - Treatment time
Most sessions last 20–30 minutes. You can relax, read, or listen to music. - Post-treatment advice
