What People Say
K-Laser Treatment Case Study
What did you want treatment for?
It was a long list!
Knee, fell 2 years ago, the knee was stiff and sometimes painful when bending.
Ankle, broke my leg 5 years ago but as a result my ankle would be painful, swollen, very tight up the back of my leg and click. My back would hurt due to not walking on my foot correctly.
Shoulder and neck – always get tight pain from the shoulder up to my neck and head, the headaches are unreal!
How was this affecting your life?
Knee: with the pain I found I would be much slower at doing things, and the back pain would be unbearable sometimes, I’ve always been very active so going to the gym would be off the agenda. Blitzing/cleaning my house and normal duties were much harder to do.
Shoulder neck; the headache are horrendous with this and lack of movement.
What kind of treatment have you had?
Had lots of physio over the years for my injury and found we would get me out of pain short term but they would always resume. Once I thought I could hit the gym again and resume normal life but the pain would return within a month or so. I was very sceptical on how a red light was going to fix me, but I can definitely say it’s made the treatment much easier when Kalla realigns my back etc.
Has it helped? And how? How many treatments did you have?
It has definitely helped, I can walk easier and sleep better. I clean the whole house on Fridays and my back would kill me – this hasn’t happened since we started the treatment.
I have had 3 sessions of the K-laser then Kalla would do a little osteopathy treatment. After the 1st treatment on all of my injuries I felt very loose in those areas for the 1st time in ages, I found the osteo treatment was easier for aligning me, we don’t usually click me all out. My tightness did continue after the 1st treatment but nothing like it has over the years. By my 3rd treatment I’m having no tightness or swollenness. I feel I’m able to move about with much more ease than before.
The results have been amazing.
I was born with congenital heart disease and on the 14th March 2022, I had lifesaving heart surgery, aged 39 (Ross Procedure). The operation was a success and on the doctors recommendations, I had aimed for a 12-week timeline on my recovery before returning to everyday activities. I have used Kalla for various recoveries previously, including shoulder and hand injuries as well as back and neck MOT’s. I don’t think people are fully aware how knowledgeable she is across the whole anatomy. She doesn’t just specialise in the back and neck. As soon as I was moving better and mobile (post-surgery 6 ½ weeks), I spoke to Kalla to ask what I could be doing to help my recovery. After some research, we arranged an appointment and I started K-Laser therapy and massages around my chest scar. In only 2 weeks (4 sessions), the results have been amazing. A lot of pain has been removed after fluid surrounding the top of sternum was broken down, and I now have full feeling in my skin and muscle in my chest (previously this area was completely numb). My scar has improved and healed to, and my upper body movement has improved immensely. She even managed a shoulder and neck MOT too! I can’t recommend Kalla enough, she is extremely knowledgeable and is very pro-active in her approach and getting the right result.
Wish I'd found her sooner
“I have been suffering with my shoulder and back on and off for about 7 years. I had been to see several physio therapists and chiropractors over the years but they have only provided me with temporary relief. I started seeing Kalla regularly , who put me at ease and explained the causes of my problems. I wish I had found her sooner.
It has been a couple of months since my last session and I still can’t believe I am pain-free after suffering for so many years. I can’t thank Kalla enough for helping me.”

Rehabilitation Process
“After suffering for over 6 months with a painful back, a friend recommended visiting Kalla.
After 4 sessions with Kalla my back has improved to the point that I can start enjoying playing golf again.
Part of the rehabilitation process required self discipline and motivation, of which Kalla encouraged and guided myself by passing on her knowledge of a varied range of exercises and stretches.
I would definitely have no hesitation in recommending Kalla.”
(Ian Brown, Northampton)
Exceeded my hopes
“After a hip replacement and needing to get the leg back to normal, I have found the treatment given by Kalla more than exceeded my hopes.
Not only is the treatment excellent – professional and up to date – but equally importantly, it is always explained in simple terms with clarity and all questions answered. There is never any attempt to pressure you into extra treatment. Recommendations are helpfully given about how you can aid your own recovery at home, again in a clear precise manner.”
(Mr D M. Northampton)
Recovery not pain relief
“I have a well understood & frequently scanned lower back condition that I’d accepted as something that I’d just have to live with. I realise now that my existing long-term Osteopath just accepted, as I had, that my back condition would always have a negative on my life, near constant pain & daily stiffness.
I visited Kalla following a recommendation from a friend, just for a second opinion, not really expecting much progress. Even on my first visit Kalla was talking about actual recovery rather than just temporary relief and after just two sessions my back feels better than it has done for years. Thanks to Kalla, I’m looking forward to a potential recovery.
(Simon, Northampton)
Worked wonders
“Suffering many years of pelvis and lower back pain with never any help from doctors or physiotherapists. I’m over the moon that I found Kalla at Northampton Osteopaths. She has worked wonders on me and only after two sessions. I’ve come out knowing the actual problem as to why I’ve been in so much pain all these years and informed of ways to build muscle back up. I will be definitely seeing Kalla again when it flares up again”
(R.F. Northampton)
She is the best around
I was looking for a place to “hit the spot and adjust me” and I am very picky with my spine. I have gone to a few chiropractors and acupuncturists and I don’t gel with just back cracks very well. I was very apprehensive about my visit. However, I was very pleased and already feeling better! Kalla has a warm and friendly vibe and a gentle touch (which we need when in pain and about to get our bones cracked). The massage tool she uses is the bomb! I strongly recommend her and should I need adjustment, she will be my “go to”.

“Can’t praise Kalla enough for the treatment I have received. Kalla showed great understanding and professionalism which helped me overcome a back injury. I would recommend her to anybody who requires the service of an osteopath as in my opinion she is the best around.” |
