Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is an effective non-invasive treatment for a variety of conditions, offering pain relief, improved mobility, and faster recovery.
Do you struggle with tight muscles? Do you feel stiff and immobile after training? Do you have a recurring problem or symptoms? Shock wave therapy may be the solution for you.
Shockwave therapy is a safe, non-invasive medical treatment that uses high-energy shockwaves to promote healing and relieve pain.The shockwaves stimulate blood flow, increase metabolic activity, and promote tissue regeneration, triggering the body’s natural healing processes.
Why Choose Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave Therapy offers several key benefits:
- Non-Invasive: Shockwave Therapy is a non-surgical and non-invasive alternative to traditional treatments, reducing the risks and downtime associated with surgical interventions.
- Accelerated Healing: By stimulating the body's natural healing mechanisms, Shockwave Therapy can accelerate the recovery process, promoting tissue repair and regeneration.
- Pain Relief: The treatment helps alleviate pain by reducing inflammation, breaking down scar tissue, and improving blood circulation to the affected area.
- Limited Side Effects: Shockwave Therapy typically has minimal side effects and a shorter recovery time compared to more invasive procedures.
- Customized Approach: Each patient's condition is unique, and our experienced physiotherapists tailor Shockwave Therapy sessions to suit individual needs, ensuring the best possible outcomes.

Shockwave therapy can be mildly uncomfortable, but most patients tolerate it well. During a session, a healthcare provider will apply a gel to the treatment area and then administer shockwaves using a specialised device. Sessions typically last about 15-20 minutes.
The number of sessions required varies depending on the condition being treated and the individual’s response to therapy. In many cases, patients undergo 3-5 sessions, with noticeable improvements after the first few sessions.
Contraindications for shockwave therapy include pregnancy, osteoporosis, blood thinners, clotting conditions, open wounds at the site, and the presence of implants near the treatment area. It’s important to discuss your medical history with a healthcare provider before undergoing therapy.
Side effects are uncommon and generally mild and may include redness, bruising, or temporary discomfort.
