Faster Healing. Less Pain. Backed by Science.

At Inner Strength, we offer medical-grade K-Laser therapy — an advanced treatment that accelerates healing, reduces inflammation, and relieves pain naturally. Whether you’re recovering from injury, managing chronic pain, or simply want to move better, K-Laser helps your body heal itself — faster.

What K-Laser Can Do for You

Enhances overall recovery and mobility

Improves circulation and lymphatic drainage

Conditions We Help With

K-Laser is clinically effective for a wide range of injuries and chronic issues, including:

  • Joint injuries and arthritis
  • Tendonitis and bursitis
  • Muscle sprains, strains and tears
  • Foot and heel pain like plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinopathy
  • Carpal tunnel and repetitive overuse injuries like tennis or golfers elbow
  • Nerve-related pain and neuropathy 
  • Temporomandibular joint issues (TMJ) 
  • Post-surgical healing and scar tissue 
  • Diabetic ulcer or poorly healing wounds

What is K-Laser Therapy?

K-Laser uses precise wavelengths of red and infrared light to stimulate healing at the cellular level. It enhances circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports tissue repair — all without medication or invasive procedures.

It’s widely used in physical rehab, elite sports, and pain clinics around the world — and now available right here in Nelson.

What to Expect During a Session

Treatments are quick, gentle, and non-invasive, usually lasting 10–20 minutes. You’ll feel a warm sensation during the session, and many clients describe it as relaxing.

Some people feel improvement after just one visit; others benefit most from a short series over several weeks.

Why Choose Us?

K-Laser is trusted by clinics across Europe, the US, and Australia — and Inner Strength is one of only two clinics in New Zealand offering this medical-grade treatment.

Our experienced team combines laser therapy with chiropractic, massage, and personal training — helping you heal faster and move better, long term.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How Does It Work?

K-Laser therapy uses specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to penetrate deep into tissues, stimulating cellular repair and regeneration. This process increases circulation, reduces inflammation, and accelerates healing at the source of pain. It’s a non-invasive, drug-free treatment backed by over 2,000 studies.

Is K-Laser therapy safe for everybody?

Yes, K-Laser therapy is FDA-cleared and has been safely used in medical and physical therapy settings. It’s a non-invasive treatment with minimal side effects. However, there are some situations where K-Laser may not be recommended, such as during pregnancy, if you have active cancer or tumors, a history of epilepsy, an active infection in the area requiring treatment, or implanted electronic devices like pacemakers.

Having metal implants or joint replacements (such as screws, plates, or artificial joints) is generally safe and does not prevent you from receiving K-Laser treatment. Your practitioner will review your health history to ensure the therapy is suitable for you.

How many treatments will I need?

The number of sessions varies. Acute injuries may respond in 4–6 treatments, while chronic conditions often need 6–12 or more. Once improvement is achieved, some people benefit from maintenance sessions every 4–6 weeks. We recommend discussing your needs and goals with your practitioner to ensure the best plan for you

Can I combine K-Laser with other therapies?

Absolutely. K-Laser is a perfect complement to chiropractic care, massage therapy, rehabilitation exercises, and other holistic treatments we offer at Inner Strength.

What should I expect at my first appointment?

Your first appointment is a complimentary 15-minute chat and assessment to determine if K-Laser therapy is right for you. During this time, we’ll review your relevant health history and examine the affected area. We recommend wearing comfortable clothing that allows easy access to the treatment site.

If K-Laser is suitable, your practitioner will work with you to create a personalised treatment plan. This usually involves a series of sessions, each building on the last, to support long-term healing and recovery.

Can I use my ACC Claim?

No, unfortunately K-laser is not covered under the ACC system at this stage.

What Our Pain Free Clients Are Saying

K Laser gave me instant pain relief which increased in duration with each  session. My range of motion in my head and neck improved immediately after treatment. Amazing!!!

Brendan Cullen

Client

I would like to thank Stinne for the treatments she has give me over the  past few weeks with the k laser. I have had treatment on 3 areas including a knee, shoulder and lower back. I have noticed improvement in all three areas especially in my shoulder where the pain has decreased noticeably.

Had a great massage with Josh! Super professional and made me feel comfortable straight away. He really focused on the areas that were really tight and causing me a bit of discomfort and always made sure the massage was tolerable. I definitely recommend Josh!

I’ve been to so many different gyms and Inner Strength has been the only one I’ve stuck too! All the staff are so friendly, welcoming and super helpful. It’s not packed either so I didn’t feel intimidated at all when I first joined! Definitely recommend!!

There is nothing I don't like about Inner Strength. The gym is never too busy and it is easy to find times where you will find 1-3 others there working out. The women on the reception desk are a delight - so friendly and always ready for a genuine 'pleased to see you' welcome chat. The trainers and members (kids to elderly) are also friendly, always chill and ready with a smile. It is a relaxed atmosphere which I really enjoy. There is nothing pretentious about Inner Strength. There are no blearing TV screens and I love the music! Im a George FM listener so if you like that you'll be happy here. The gym is also super clean. There is a lovely young woman who is employed to clean the equipment and members are really good at cleaning the machines after use. I'm nearly 50 and only recently started back at the gym after a 13 year break and Inner Strength has been perfect for me.

I have been a member of Inner Strength since 2015 and have thoroughly enjoyed my experience there. Staff are friendly and approachable and the gym itself caters to a wide range of members with varying goals and motivations. I like the sense of inclusivity that Inner Strength brings to all its members.

I have always felt uncomfortable in ‘normal’ gyms, but the team at Inner Strength have made the transition from group training to single training smooth and easy for me.They only have the members best intentions at heart, and everyone including other members are friendly and willing to lend a helping hand when needed.Matt has been amazing to see for PT sessions as he really helped me to focus on areas that needed work instead of just giving me a general plan. He created 2 seperate plans for me and helped me through them until I was comfortable doing them by myself. He really knows his stuff and I would highly recommend him.The range of equipment is great, the gym is not overly busy and you can workout without the fear of feeling intimidated.Thanks to the team at Inner Strength, I am now really loving and enjoying my fitness journey and will continue to support your business.

I could not rate Inner Strength high enough. It is a great gym and the staff are highly professional and are always willing to assist. The gym is hygienic, neat and tidy and has a great range of exercise equipment as well as all your supplement needs.My consultation with Hayden was very professional, he communicated very well and really understood my needs and goals. He worked with me on a more holistic approach for my weightless journey. He offered consistent support and I believe this is so importation when you are wanting to achieve the best you can.If you want to be a part of a gym that really cares about your fitness, wellbeing and short and long term goals, then Inner Strength is the place for you.

Inner Strength Health & Performance is an awesome place to train! The team there are very supportive, knowledgeable and friendly. They have great group workout sessions that are fun but challenging too. I enjoy the whole aspect of their approach to training and nutrition. Hayden helped me out hugely with nutrition as a diabetic and what approach I should take. Nice little gym with good equipment to train with. I would recommend checking out Inner Strength and talking to Hayden or one of the team if you are keen on achieving your fitness and lifestyle goals.
