🎙️ What happens when a laser therapy pioneer drops by for a chat?
This week on A Week at the Clinic, Kevin caught up with James Carroll—founder of Thor Photomedicine and arguably the global face of photobiomodulation—for a fascinating behind-the-scenes conversation.
They covered everything from laser healing breakthroughs and regulatory red tape to the curious case of why PBM still isn’t widely taught in dental schools. Kevin even shared some success stories from Ballarat!
The full episode drops Sunday, but here’s a little teaser: PBM is no longer the future… it’s the present, and it’s glowing.

Supporting Your Body’s Natural Detox & Inflammation Response with Red Light Therapy
A gentle, effective approach to balance and healing
Every day, your body works hard to keep itself in balance—clearing out waste, calming inflammation, and defending against illness. But modern life places strain on this system. Stress, environmental toxins, processed foods, and long-standing health conditions can all tip the scales, leaving us feeling fatigued, sluggish, or inflamed.
At Ballarat Laser Therapy, we offer red light therapy (also known as low-level laser therapy or photobiomodulation) to help restore your body’s natural equilibrium—safely, gently, and without medication.
How It Helps
🟥 Detox Support
Red light therapy stimulates your cells’ energy centres—called mitochondria—boosting their ability to produce ATP (the fuel every cell needs). This extra energy helps your liver, kidneys, and lymphatic system do their job more efficiently, clearing out toxins and metabolic waste.
🟦 Improving Circulation & Drainage
By improving blood flow and supporting lymphatic drainage, red light therapy helps your body move waste products out of tissues and into the organs of elimination, where they can be safely processed and removed.
🟩 Easing Inflammation Naturally
Red light therapy has been shown to calm inflammatory processes at the cellular level—reducing swelling, easing pain, and encouraging repair, especially in cases of chronic inflammation.
The Result?
Many people report feeling clearer, more energetic, and more resilient after a course of red light therapy. It’s not a one-off fix—but as part of a holistic health approach, it can help your body function at its best.

Photobiomodulation Therapy (PBMT) is the best technical term for Low Level Laser Therapy (LLLT).
It is a light therapy using lasers or LEDs to improve tissue repair, reduce pain and inflammation wherever the beam is applied. Treatments take about 10-20 minutes and should be applied two or more times a week for an initial three-week period.
Photobiomodulation has been used for many years on sports injuries, arthritic joints, neuropathic pain syndromes, back and neck pain. Over 700 randomised clinical trials have been published on Photobiomodulation, half of which are on pain.
Those using LLLT include: British and US military, UK Premier Division soccer teams, Olympic teams, Formula 1, rugby and cricket team therapists as well as specialist pain clinics in Australia, the UK and USA.
