    How Shockwave Therapy Works

    When traditional physiotherapy alone hasn't achieved the results you need, shockwave therapy offers a non-invasive way to stimulate healing and break through recovery plateaus.

    Shockwave therapy delivers targeted acoustic waves to damaged or degenerated tissue. These waves create controlled micro-stimulation that triggers your body's natural healing response — increasing blood flow, promoting cell regeneration, and breaking down calcified deposits. Think of it as a jumpstart for tissues that have stopped healing on their own.

    Non-Invasive Treatment

    No surgery, no injections, minimal downtime. Shockwave therapy offers a powerful alternative when you want to avoid more invasive procedures.

    Stimulates Natural Healing

    Acoustic waves trigger increased blood flow and cell regeneration in damaged tissue, kickstarting your body's own repair mechanisms.

    Objective Progress Tracking

    We record baseline measurements before treatment and track your progress with objective data — so both you and your clinician can see results.

    Practitioner-Recommended

    Shockwave isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. Your clinician will assess whether it's appropriate for your specific condition before recommending it.

    Conditions with strong evidence for shockwave therapy:

    Plantar fasciitisAchilles tendinopathyTennis elbowCalcific shoulderPatellar tendinopathyChronic trigger points

    Shockwave therapy isn't effective for everyone — your clinician will assess suitability and only recommend it if there's good reason to believe it will help your specific condition.

    What to Expect

    Here's what a shockwave therapy treatment plan looks like.

    1

    Assessment — a thorough evaluation of your condition and medical history to confirm shockwave therapy is appropriate for you.

    2

    Baseline measurement — objective data is recorded so we have a clear starting point to track your progress against.

    3

    Treatment series — targeted acoustic waves are delivered to the affected area. Most conditions respond best to 3–6 sessions, spaced weekly.

    4

    Progress tracking — regular re-measurement against your baseline data, so both you and your clinician can see exactly how you're responding.
