“The trainers for the Canadian Track & Field Olympic team know their athletes need to be in the best possible physical shape to compete in the 2016 Olympics in Rio. That’s why they incorporate laser therapy into the athletes’ preparations and chose K-Laser® as their therapeutic laser of choice.
“Successful treatment of professional and Olympic athletes requires an integrated support team of healthcare practitioners as well as many different modalities of treatment,” says Dr. John Vargo, trainer for the Canadian Olympic Track & Field team. “K-Laser is the modality I choose first in high-performance athletes requiring immediate results and in patients who have conditions that have failed with several other types of treatment.”
K-Laser is the most technologically advanced therapeutic laser for the treatment of pain and inflammation. “The addition of K-Laser to our Olympic medical team gives us the ability to provide Canada’s Track & Field athletes with the best technology available during the biggest competition of their lives,” continues Dr. Vargo”.

In fact, laser therapy can help increase how fast ATP is created – ATP is produced by the mitochondria, and powers cellular activity – laser therapy means more ATP.
