Cutting-Edge Low-Level Light Laser at TheraPlay LA
Los Angeles Leader for Integrative Pediatric Therapy
What Is Low Light Level Laser?
Low Level Light Laser (LLL), also known as photobiomodulation (PBM), is a cutting edge therapeutic tool being used for its potential to support cellular function and nervous system regulation.
Research suggests that specific wavelengths of light may influence biological processes such as:
mitochondrial activity and cellular energy (ATP) production
nitric oxide signaling
healthy inflammatory responses
circulation and oxygen utilization
cellular communication involved in tissue repair
Rather than viewing LLL as a treatment on its own, we view it as a tool that may help prepare the body and the brain for learning. By supporting the body's natural cellular processes, photobiomodulation can help create an environment that supports neuroplasticity.
At TheraPlayLA, Low Level Light Laser is always combined with skilled occupational therapy. Our goal is not to replace evidence-based intervention, but to complement it as part of a comprehensive, individualized treatment plan.
At a microbiological level, the light penetrates tissues and is absorbed by the mitochondria (the energy factories of our cells), which may lead to:
-
Increased energy for cell function and healing, AKA increased ATP production
-
Decreased inflammation
-
Improved oxygenation and blood flow
-
Accelerated nerve regeneration and tissue repair
Brain-Balancing With Neurosage & NexPlayground
We pair Low Level Light Laser with sensory-motor interventions and orofacial myofunctional therapy that combine airway health, nervous system regulation, and functional movement.
NeuroSage
A dynamic, screen-based program that uses visual, auditory, and vestibular input to engage multiple sensory systems. It is designed to support skills related to:
Motor control
Reaction time
Balance and coordination
Attention, emotional regulation, and focus
Nex Playground
This interactive movement system transforms whole-body therapy into an engaging, play-based experience. Through purposeful movement, it may help support:
Cross-lateral movement to encourage midline integration and bilateral coordination
Visual tracking
Motor planning
Primitive reflex integration as part of a comprehensive therapy program
What to Expect…
Considering Low-Level Light Laser for your child naturally comes with questions:
Does it hurt?
What will my child feel during the session?
Does my child need to sit still?
Where is the laser applied?
What safety precautions are used?
How do you determine which areas to target?
How is it combined with occupational therapy?
How do I know whether it is appropriate for my child?
Because every intensive is customized, the answers depend on your child’s age, comfort level, evaluation, and individual goals. Schedule a discovery call to learn what the process could look like for your child and get your questions answered before deciding whether to move forward.
What Our Custom Laser Intensives Include
Every intensive is customized to your child's unique strengths, challenges, and goals. Depending on your child's evaluation, their program may include a combination of:
Multiple days of personalized therapy sessions
Low Level Light Laser using Avant laser systems applied to targeted areas, when clinically appropriate
Occupational therapy focused on your child's specific goals, including motor development, sensory processing, executive functioning, feeding, oral-motor skills, airway health, or self-care
Speech and language therapy to support communication, speech production, feeding, swallowing, or oral function when indicated
Primitive reflex integration activities based on your child's individual reflex profile
Structured NeuroSage and Nex Playground sessions to complement therapy through engaging visual, auditory, vestibular, and movement-based activities
Interventions targeting the areas most relevant to your child, which may include sleep, airway health, sensory processing, primitive reflexes, regulation, motor coordination, or other developmental priorities
One-on-one parent education and practical home strategies to help carry progress beyond the intensive
