Our Roots
History
The World Association for PhotobiomoduLation Therapy (WALT) was formed in 1994 in Barcelona, Spain at the joint Congress of the International Laser Therapy Association (ILTA) and the International Society for Laser Application in Medicine (ISLAM) when these two international groups merged and WALT became the leading world body for promoting research, education and clinical applications in the field of photobiomodulation with lasers and other light sources.
The multinational membership includes the world’s leading experts in all forms of treatment mediated by the photobiomodulating effects of light occurring without thermal effects on irradiated tissue.
