Light on bones: laser therapy may boost bone health in postmenopausal women

This trial tests whether adding high-intensity laser therapy (HILT) to a physiotherapy programme can improve bone health in postmenopausal women with osteopenia or osteoporosis. Forty women will receive either real or sham laser sessions on their lower back, three times a week for four weeks, alongside the same physiotherapy routine. Researchers will measure a blood marker of bone formation and quality of life before and after treatment to see if the laser makes a difference.
