Radial Shockwave Therapy

Non-invasive treatment for persistent pain.

What is Shockwave?

High-energy sound waves (not electrical shocks) stimulate healing in muscles, tendons, bones and other soft tissues.

It is a non-invasive solution for persistent pain.

What are the benefits?

  • Stimulates collagen, tissue and bone repair.
  • Increases blood flow.
  • Improves poorly healed injuries.
  • Breaks up scar tissue and calcification.
  • Reduced pain.

What conditions to treat?

  • Gluteal, shoulder and elbow tendinopathies.
  • Achilles tendinitis.
  • Plantar Fasciitis.
  • Bony non-union.
  • Scars and calcifications.
  • Muscle trigger points.
  • Frozen shoulder.
  • Runners knee.

What does it feel like?

You will feel a pressure sensation over the targeted site.

The device will tap rapidly against your skin.

There may be mild discomfort.

Intensity is adjustable by your practitioner.

What do treatment sessions involve?

Each session should involve approximately 5-10mins of shockwave.

It is recommended to have around 6 sessions for optimal results.

Your practitioner will advise on frequency of sessions. Typically it will be 1-2 sessions per week.

Shockwave for Neurological conditions

Benefits for Neurological Conditions:

Emerging research has demonstrated promising outcomes for individuals with neurological conditions, particularly those experiencing muscle spasticity and functional limitations.

Cerebral Palsy and Muscle Spasticity

Studies have shown that Radial Shockwave Therapy can:

  • Reduce muscle spasticity
  • Improve muscle flexibility and range of motion
  • Enhance gait and mobility
  • Improve comfort and ease of movement

These outcomes may support broader physiotherapy goals and assist clients in maximising participation in daily activities.
