The Department of Physiotherapy at Cihan University – Erbil Collaborates with BTL Company on Laser Therapy Training
On Sunday, August 31, 2025, from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, the Department of Physiotherapy at Cihan University–Erbil, in collaboration with BTL Company, hosted a specialized training course entitled Laser in Physiotherapy at the VIP Hall of Cihan University.
The training session began with a theoretical component covering the fundamental principles of laser technology and the mechanisms of laser–tissue interactions. It concluded with a practical application session, during which participants learned how to apply laser therapy in various clinical cases according to specific patient needs.
Designed for academic staff and graduate students of physiotherapy, the event was led by Clinical Trainer PT. Mohammed Smko. He provided in-depth explanations of the effects of different wavelengths, power settings, and treatment parameters, enabling participants to compare and select appropriate techniques for conditions such as musculoskeletal pain, sports injuries, wound healing, and neurological disorders.
In addition to examining scientific evidence that supports the efficacy of laser therapy, the training introduced recent technological advancements, emphasized safety guidelines, and included live demonstrations to reinforce practical skills.
By combining theory with case-based practice, the course enhanced participants’ professional competence and promoted the integration of evidence-based laser therapy into modern rehabilitation practice.
