Shockwave Therapy
Unleash your body's healing potential
Extracorporeal shockwave therapy generates acoustic pressure waves that have an effect on soft tissue to activate the body’s natural healing
processes. Examples of these waves in real life are sounds of clapping or thunder. These waves generate cavitations (microscopic gas
bubbles) within the target tissue that then collapse and create pressure changes and small jets of liquid to stimulate the surrounding cells
to heal or break down damaged tissue and decrease pain.
Experienced Clinicians – Our team has used Shockwave to treat a variety of conditions.
Evidence-Based Care – We use the latest research and clinical guidelines to inform your treatment.
Holistic Approach – We consider your lifestyle, goals, and wellbeing—not just your injury.
Supportive Environment – We take the time to listen, educate, and support you every step of the way.
What are the benefits of Shockwave therapy?
- Promotes formation of new blood vessels to increase oxygenation and nutrient delivery
- Activates cells important for tissue repair and recovery including natural growth factors
- Breaks down scar tissue, fibrosis and calcification
- Decreases pain and increases pain threshold at the treatment site
- Reduces spasticity in upper and lower limbs
A physiotherapist biomechanically screens the body to see where the problem may be originating from. It can be anything from muscle imbalances and weaknesses to serious injuries requiring long term rehab. The therapist can recommend strategies to help resolve these and any ongoing issues. In this process our clinicians determine if Shockwave is beneficial for you based on a variety of factors.
Treatable conditions include but not limited to:

Our approach is hands-on and tailored to your needs, ensuring you not only recover but also gain the knowledge and tools to prevent future
issues.
Shockwave is a great edition to our treatment toolkit but should not be used as a sole solution to any problem.
What to Expect
Your journey begins with a thorough assessment where we listen to your concerns, examine your movement, and identify the root cause of your
symptoms. Your physiotherapist will then design a personalised treatment plan that may include shockwave:
Your first Shockwave appointment looks like:
- Shockwave treatment will be administered through a handpiece and gel applied to the skin at the treatment area and is non-invasive
- During treatment you may feel a tapping on the skin and an ache in the surrounding tissue of mild to moderate discomfort
- The machine is not loud when in use but is audible so please speak to your therapist if you are sensitive to sound
- Treatment duration varies between 2 to 15 minutes depending on the condition and area/s of treatment
- A general guide for treatment course is 3-5 sessions 1-2x per week and best results will be seen 2 weeks after the 5th treatment, however, gold standard course is condition and patient dependent
