Shockwave Therapy is clinically proven, recognised by the top orthopaedic hospitals and used by high-profile professional sports bodies.

Low-energy pressure waves are applied to the affected area, creating microtrauma, which increases blood flow and stimulates the body’s natural healing processes. Shockwave therapy also increases collagen production and cellular metabolism in the treated area. The result? Accelerated tissue repair and reduced pain.
