Shockwave Therapy
We Work with You
Shockwave Therapy is used to reduce pain and restore function; and is most effective when used as part of an overall treatment plan to reduce pain, restore function with graded exercise and address the underlying cause of the injury.
​
What is Shockwave?​
​Shockwave Therapy is an effective treatment for both athletes and non-athletes. This treatment uses pulse-like acoustic waves of energy that are delivered using a hand-held device. During the treatment, you will feel a pulse-like sensation in the treatment area. The treatment will be customised to treat your specific injury and can be modified for your comfort without altering the effectiveness of treatment.
