Bioflex Laser or Photobiomodulation therapy, or PBMT, is a non-invasive and non-pharmacological treatment that promotes the natural healing ability of the body with the help of light. Also referred to as low-level laser/light therapy (LLLT), red light therapy or cold laser therapy, this treatment uses high-intensity light from different sources including light emitting diodes (LEDs) and lasers to deliver red and near-infrared wavelengths of light to targeted areas of the body. These wavelengths have been shown to stimulate cellular metabolism, nitric oxide (NO) release, increase circulation, and reduce inflammation and pain in the treated area. PBMT has become increasingly popular as an alternative treatment option for a wide range of conditions including injuries of joints, fascia, muscles, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, bone and nerves as well as skin rejuvenation and dermatological conditions like psoriasis and eczema.

‘As a medical doctor and team doctor, I used to prescribe medications and refer my patients to physiotherapists and osteopaths to pursue their treatments. I was unhappy that I can’t help them myself and can’t check their progress, anymore. Now, I am happy that as an “Osteopathic Manual Practitioner” I can assess my patients, help them without medications, and evaluate their progress. It’s a wonderful feeling to see after a few sessions of osteopathy and hands-on practice, my patients can walk properly, get back to the activities they love, and are able to hug their beloved ones, once again.’

Philosophy:

Being passionate about the human body and its dysfunctions, Hoba started his path to explore the human body by studying medicine at the age of 18 at Guilan University of medical sciences. In 2010, almost 8 years later, at the age of 26, He became a medical doctor aka “general practitioner” in Guilan, and started practicing medicine in remote areas. In 2015, he started to pursue his long-lasting passion and took a variety of courses in sports medicine, fitness training, rehabilitation, and established his sports medicine facility in Tehran, Iran. The clinic was a multidisciplinary clinic consisting of him as the director and medical doctor, an osteopath, a physiotherapist, a Pilates trainer, a nutritionist, and a personal trainer. In 2017 he became a certified “soccer team doctor” and obtained permission to work with professional soccer players and teams. In 2018, after sustaining injuries while snowboarding and skydiving, he lost his interest in western medicine protocols, and started to study holistic approaches and became interested in osteopathy. Therefore, he studied osteopathy. He holds to the opinion that it is of paramount importance to be familiar with conventional medicine, such as his background in medicine, and knowing the anatomy, physiology, pathology, kinesiology, and proper structural patterns of the human body and then using a holistic approach to be able to answer properly to patients’ concerns and help them to retain their health, enhance their wellness and well-being.
