Meet Jock! After undergoing knee surgery, he turned to red light therapy at Light Therapy London to speed up recovery. Hear what he had to say about NovoTHOR
“Our PBM Therapy Clinic in Derby UK has been using THOR products exclusively – both the LX2’s and NovoTHOR whole bed light bed since 2020. Our clinicians have attended the 8hr seminar every year since (in person or more lately via teams). In my opinion it’s the best place in a short period of time to start to get to grips with ‘how it all works, why and what does it help’. James certainly is a seasoned speaker and has a presentation style that is easy to follow. The slides are all evidence based and there is ample opportunity to ask questions via chat in teams.
Each time we take the course we reinforce our previous knowledge and get exposed to new evidence as the seminar changes each year. We have integrated PBM Therapy into our daily MSK practice as Chiropractors but also have expanded our practice to include many conditions that you would not normally expect a Chiropractor to be able to help with e.g. skin healing, Oral mucositis treatment and prevention.”

Hi my name is Tony Hancock.
In 2020, I was struck by a car while riding my bicycle during a training ride. I fractured my femur bone and required emergent surgery for hip pinning. After a long recovery I was able to return to cycling again however the myofascial pain and Sacroiliac iliac joint pain continued until I found NovoTHOR full body red light therapy bed. I am now completely pain free. I owe a big debt of gratitude to the founder of NovoTHOR and for making this technology available.
Sincerely
Tony Hancock, Nurse Practitioner

“The 1 day course I participated in during 2023 was excellent. The more I learn about Photobiomodulation highlights how complex Photobiomodulation is. Quality education and training is critical… THOR has sure helped my continuing journey.”

This is a compelling interview with Emma Hallam, Macmillan Consultant Radiographer in Post Treatment & Late Effects at Nottingham Radiotherapy Centre.
The side effects and late effects (delayed effects) of cancer treatment can be many (see the list below), painful, unsightly, life long and life-limiting. Patients are frequently unprepared, and medical solutions have been inadequate.
Emma has been using PBM for the last three years (since 2021) at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust, one of the UK’s largest and busiest teaching hospitals. She has collected data on over 150 patients comparing baseline data on pain, function and quality of life with results after twice-weekly treatments for 6 weeks or weekly treatments for 12 weeks. She is particularly convinced and excited by the benefits of THOR PBM on radiation-induced fibrosis (RIF), which is a major contribution to many of the late effects listed below.
Emma’s amazing work has LED to the creation of 25 late-effects clinics across the UK, and she is only just getting started. Emma’s dedication to patients and results with PBM have been remarkable, and listening to her story is compelling.

This is an interview featuring me by Dr. Ben Sinclair, a British physician / general practitioner (GP) Sinclair. His podcast is called Health Versus Wealth. Primarily, this podcast is about my health choices and routines. He describes me as a “highly driven entrepreneur, 61 years old (now 62), of THOR Laser company (correction: THOR Photomedicine Ltd and THOR Photomedicine Inc), of which he is is Founder CEO, which specialises in design and manufacture of Photobiomodulation (PBM) devices. THOR £10 million a year in sales, has 5,000 customers in 70 countries, and is marking THOR’s 30th anniversary.” Dr Ben says I am “a businessman who prioritises his wealth, in that he works 364 days a year! (actually, my motivation is establishing PBM as a first-line medical treatment in every department of every hospital in the whole world), wealth might be an outcome, but it is not the goal.) How does this impact his work-life balance? “The only day I take off is Christmas Day,” he says. Despite this, he says he’s in fine health, fit and eats a nutritious diet.
THOR’s celebrity clients include Mo Farah (Mo only used NovoTHOR whilst training with the Nike, Oregon project), Novak Djokovic, Hollywood actor Mark Wahlberg, and his biggest-name customer, film star Tom Cruise. Cruise famously broke his ankle during filming in London on ‘Mission Impossible: Fallout’ in 2017 while leaping from one building to another. Cruise used James’s laser to recover, and now he has lasers in his homes and is always one on location. James LED a workshop in Florida, and Cruise walked in wearing his trademark aviator sunglasses. “Tom was a delight,” says James. As for his business ambitions to grow the company, James adds: “My real goal is to get this technology into every corner of every department of every hospital in the whole world.”
THOR is helping to improve the quality of life of Children’s Health Ireland patients who are undergoing treatment for cancer, and will not rest until every single patient in need has access to our Photomedicine Photobiomodulation (red light) therapy.
