Employment

Meditech International Research/Education Representative

Expert in the biophysics of laser therapy including tissue and light interactions, dosage effects and laser therapy parameters.

Written over 10 articles on the use of laser therapy in various conditions from disc hernations to carpal tunnel syndrome and presented a number of these at international conferences.

Current research projects include:

- The application of laser therapy in the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome.
- The use of laser therapy in the treatment of lumbar disc hernations.
- The use of laser therapy in wound healing.
