The area of rehabilitation we cover is broad. Not only do we support recovery from injury from sporting activity but also the areas of disability.
Shockwave therapy is a revolutionary non-surgical treatment and works by delivering impulses of energy, targeted to specific damaged tissues within the abnormal tendon.
Who can it help?
Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy treatment is highly effective for treating a number of issue such as plantar fasciitis, shoulder pain, tennis elbow, achilles tendonopathy, hip pain, knee pain.
How does it work?
Shockwave works by delivering impulses of energy targeting specific damaged tissue. This results in an increase in blood flow within the area, stimulating cell regeneration and healing as well as decreasing local factors that can cause pain.
Shock-wave therapy treatments are usually performed at weekly intervals. Each treatment session takes about 20 minutes and you may need between 3 treatment sessions (possibly 6 for resistant problems).
After shockwave therapy Many patients experience an improvement in symptoms almost immediately while others take several weeks to respond.
You may notice a reddening or swelling of the area with some patients experiencing a brief increase in pain. It may take several weeks to see an overall benefit.
We are exploring new ways that we can help and with the move in technology, remote support is it.
If you have an injury or recovering from injury but unable to get to us then we can still support with a rehabilitation plan, detailed videos of exercises and regular message or phone support.
