”Shockwave Therapy is a non-invasive, mostly pain free treatment used to alleviate chronic tendon conditions such as Plantar Fasciitis, Calcific Tendinitis or tendinopathy in areas such as Achilles, Patella Tendon, Elbows and Shoulders. It is highly effective and scientifically proven to get you back to your chosen activity with less chance of re injury.
Scientifically proven to alter the chemical composition and tendon blood flow in order to alleviate pain and to assist in the regeneration of the injured tendon
Uses high energy acoustic waves directed towards the painful areas within your body, these incite and speed up the body's natural healing process
When the Sound waves are targeted at the injured area, it is common to feel some discomfort but that is usually a good indicator that the appropriate tissues are being addressed. Your Physio will guide you and adjust the intensity according to your comfort levels
For best results in treating chronic conditions, three sessions are recommended spaced approximately a week apart to allow for tissue adaptation in the meantime
High level of effectiveness for a range of Musculoskeletal conditions. Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles , Shoulder, Elbow, Knee and Ankle tendinopathies are just a few common conditions treated.
The specific area of treating and managing Tendinopathies back to full pain free function has challenged the medical profession for many years. This evidence based intervention is a modern , effective and easy to access alternative to some of the past less effective strategies for treating these specific injuries.
It is vital that you are guided through a series of graduated loading exercises in order to stimulate the healing of the collagen and tendon tissue structures, and re-condition that tendon to be able to tolerate loads in order for you to return to your pre-injury activities
We recommend to begin with at least 3 sessions spaced roughly one week apart. Each session is a standard consultation during which your Physiotherapist will administer the Shockwave treatment and review and progress your home exercise program. You may feel a fast tapping sensation during the application of the accoustic waves.
Shockwave is a safe treatment option with minimal side effects. It is common to feel some localised swelling or tenderness in the treated area that day, with the majority of the improvement felt the following day and later. Often there is an immediate analgesic effect felt directly after the treatment
Your Physiotherapist will continually re-assess where your symptoms are at during each subsequent session, and advise you of any relevant changes required in your exercise program. They will give you advice on how best to graduate your tendon load management in order to get you back to your chosen sport or activity

Appointments are scheduled a minimum of 30 minutes apart. We find that in the majority of cases that this is the most appropriate amount of time. In more complex conditions or for multiple injuries longer appointments can be arranged.
Yes please! Any investigations or scans relating to the condition will help us understand your presentation better. Even if you just have the reports from scans they will be very helpful. Likewise any notes from other Therapists or doctors would be great. If you don’t have anything then don’t worry just bring yourself.

If you are running late please call ahead and our Receptionist will check with your physio to see if it is possible to still see you. There may not be enough time to attend to your needs effectively.
