Close to reaching a decade of training in martial arts, I discovered laser therapy in an unexpected way — through injury. After hurting my foot in a sparring session, I was told by doctors it would take at least a month to recover, and that I shouldn’t return to training until I was fully healed. Not wanting to sit on the side-lines, I searched for alternative treatments that could help speed up my recovery.

That’s when I found laser therapy.

To everyone’s surprise — including my instructors — I was back on the mats just two weeks later, training without any strapping or support. The results were undeniable.

Encouraged by my own recovery, I began treating my instructors. One was struggling with chronic wrist pain that made simple tasks and push-ups difficult. The other had been diagnosed with a brain tumor and was looking for supportive therapies to improve his quality of life. After a few weeks of consistent laser sessions, all three of us experienced real, lasting improvements — and more importantly, a renewed sense of hope.

That was the moment I knew: laser therapy doesn’t just help people heal — it helps them thrive.

I created Ace Laser Therapy to share that same life-changing experience with others. My mission is to give people not just what they’ve lost, but a path to something even better — a better body, a better lifestyle, and a better way forward.
