Shockwave Therapy

Radial Pressure Wave (RPW) therapy—often referred to as radial shockwave— uses compressed air to drive a projectile against an applicator probe which is held against the skin. This generates high-energy sound waves that spread outward into the body.

Main effects:

  1. Reduce pain (reduces substance P)

  2. Stimulates and speeds up the body’s own natural healing process

  3. Increase blood flow, increased oxygen and nutrient flow

  4. Stimulation of collagen production healing and making tissue stronger

  5. Break up scar tissue

Common conditions treated:

  • Plantar fasciitis/fasciosis, heel pain

  • Tendon injury and pain e.g. Achilles and more

  • Ligament injuries e.g. ankle sprain

  • Muscular injuries e.g. hamstring, calf and more
