Why ActiLife
Tried rest, ice and stretching — and still hurting?
If you're reading this, chances are you've already given the pain a few weeks — maybe months — to sort itself out. Old sports injuries, arthritis, a tweak you can't quite explain. BioFlex Cold Laser Therapy is one of the tools we reach for at ActiLife when a patient needs something that actually supports healing, instead of just muting the pain until it comes right back.
What It Is
So, what actually is Cold Laser Therapy?
Also called BioFlex Laser Therapy or Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT), it's a laser — just not the kind you're picturing from surgery shows. No cutting, no heat, no needles. A handheld device delivers light at a specific wavelength that reaches through the skin and quietly nudges your cells into repair mode.
Boosts cellular energy
The light nudges your cells to produce more ATP — basically the fuel your body uses to rebuild and repair damaged tissue.
Improves blood flow
Better circulation to the treated area means more oxygen and nutrients reaching the spot that's actually trying to heal.
Calms inflammation
Dialing down inflammation eases the pain signal and lets you move more freely while your body catches up on recovery.

What to Expect
What a Cold Laser session actually feels like
Honestly? Nothing dramatic. Here's how a typical visit to our Coquitlam clinic tends to go.
01
Get comfortable
We'll get you settled so the treatment area is easy to reach, and hand you protective eyewear if the session calls for it.
02
Targeted laser, right on the spot
Your physiotherapist glides the handheld BioFlex device over the injured area. Most people feel a gentle warmth — many feel nothing at all.
03
5 – 20 minutes
Sessions are short and easy to fit into a lunch break. Some patients feel a shift after the first visit; for most, relief builds over a handful of sessions.

No cookie-cutter packages. We build a treatment schedule around what your body actually needs — and adjust as things get better.

FAQs
Common questions about Cold Laser Therapy
Does Cold Laser Therapy hurt?
Not at all. Most patients feel a gentle warmth on the skin — some feel nothing at all. There's no heat damage, no cutting and no needles, so you can go right back to your day afterward.
How many sessions will I need?
It depends on what we're treating. Some patients notice a difference after the first cold laser session, while stubborn injuries or arthritis often need a handful of visits. Your physiotherapist will map out a realistic plan on day one.
Do I need a doctor's referral to book?
Nope — no referral needed. You can book Cold Laser Therapy in Coquitlam directly with ActiLife online or over the phone, and get in as early as this week.
Is Cold Laser Therapy covered by insurance?
In most cases, yes. Because it's delivered as part of a physiotherapy visit, most extended health plans cover it. We direct bill most major insurers and accept ICBC claims to keep the paperwork off your plate.
