What Is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that uses high-energy acoustic waves to stimulate healing in musculoskeletal tissues. It is clinically proven to accelerate recovery, reduce pain, and treat stubborn injuries that haven’t responded to other forms of therapy.
This advanced treatment promotes tissue regeneration, breaks down scar tissue, and improves blood flow to the affected area, making it ideal for chronic pain and overuse injuries.
Key Benfits
- Improves mobility and range of motion
- Stimulates natural healing and tissue repair
- Breaks down calcification and scar tissue
- Effective alternative to steroid injections or surgery
- Reduces pain and inflammation
- Speeds up recovery for chronic soft tissue injuries
Who Is It For?
- Tendon-related conditions (e.g., Achilles tendinopathy, patellar tendinopathy)
- Plantar fasciitis and heel pain
- Gluteal tendinopathy / Greater Trochanteric Pain Syndrome (GTPS)
- Tennis/golfer’s elbow
- Shoulder tendinopathy and calcific deposits
- Chronic or persistent joint and soft tissue pain
- It’s suitable for both active individuals and non-athletes experiencing long-term discomfort.
What to Expect
- A typical session lasts 15–30 minutes
- Most clients require a course of 3–6 sessions
